Wii MotionPlus Is Not Accurately Detecting Motion or Cursor Is Not Corresponding to Pointer

Wii & Wii mini

The information in this article can help you when motion is not being detected exactly as performed or the cursor is not corresponding with where the Wii Remote is pointing.

What to do

  • Radio frequency interference may cause the Wii Remote to work erratically. Check for wireless devices such as cordless phones, wireless computer keyboards or mice, or other similar devices, and move or turn them off.
  • Recalibrate the Wii MotionPlus accessory.
  • Slow down any quick motions and test to see if the response is better.
  • Sudden changes in temperature can affect calibration. If the Wii MotionPlus accessory was just moved from a cooler or warmer location, give it about one hour to acclimate to the new area.
