I have enjoyed the Wii since launch. Especially nice for me is the Wii Remote / Nunchuk combination controls, as it let me use a controller like most other people. I have limited use of the left hand, so I could never use a typical PS2 / XBox / GameCube controller the way designers intended it to be used.
With the Wii, I can hold the Nunchuk with the left hand while having it positioned where I have access to the control stick and buttons for my right hand to use. The only problem I've encountered with using the Nunchuk has been the cord, as it can get wrapped around my left hand, or it can whack me in the face now and then. Because of the wrapping around my hand and not realizing it has done so, I have damaged some Nunchuks.
After seeing different Wireless Nunchuk units appear on the market, I got disappointed by them because they were too bulky for me. Finally the Kama came out and I began to be intrigued by it. It seemed to be the answer I was looking for - it was the same size as the normal Nunchuk. I held off for a while because I had problems justifying the cost of the unit. After damaging another wired Nunchuk, I began rethinking by stance on the cost issue.
I then began looking at the reviews on the Kama and saw there were several bad reviews on it, so I was not sure what to do. After getting fed up with the normal Nunchuk I decided to purchase the Kama and give it a shot.
So far it hasn't given me any usage problems, and I have haven't noticed lag issues in the response of the Kama. I plan on using rechargeable batteries with the Kama, as I realize batteries could get expensive if I had to replace them every few days.
Installing the receiver onto the Wii Remote was easy, since it just plugs in like a normal attachment. Synchronizing the receiver and the Kama Nunchuk was quick and I didn't have any problems. Instructions were included that mentioned how to do the synchronizing process, but I did not need to refer to them, as I have several wireless products and am familiar with the process.
As others have stated, the Wii Jackets fit over the receiver with difficulty, although it does stretch it slightly, but not enough to hinder pressing any of the buttons on the Wii Remote. Other sleeves may or may not accommodate the receiver as well.
It has made my life much better while using the Wii. I don't have to be concerned with ruining Nunchuks because of cords getting in my way. This also lets me stay focused on the game and I don't have to keep pausing the game to untangle the cord. I can't see myself wanting to go back to the corded Nunchuk.

It is terrible! It will not sync! =[ I am so upset! I was really looking forward to playing Wii Boxing with the wireless nun chuck!
Rating: - what is with the picture
The picture shows a wii mote and a nunchuk. They sell the nunchuk. I see this as false advertisement.
Rating: - The charger continues to BLINK NON-STOP! HORRIBLE
The charger unit blinks non-stop and is horrible. WOULD NOT BUY unless you want a mini-disco in your house.
Rating: - Won't work, non-existent tech support
Got this yesterday, and it simply will not pair. Both the nunchuck and receiver flash blue. Tried re-pairing several times, but it never worked once.
Called the 800# for their tech support, and was pushed into a voicemail box. Left a message yesterday around 2pm and never heard back from them.
