How to Use GlovePIE for the Wiimote

Computer game enthusiasts will tell you that the controls used to instruct your characters or objects to perform different functions in games will have a profound impact on your success in the game. Over time, your fingers remember the positions of the buttons for the controller you are used to, making it difficult to use other controllers. GlovePIE has solved this problem on the PC with a software package that allows users to connect a wide variety of controls such as a mouse, a joystick, a virtual glove or a Wiimote to any game they play on their PC. GlovePIE for the Wiimote operates via a USB cable or Bluetooth connection.
