The surge to prominence of the Wiimote is characterized by EA sports where players go about waving those Wiimotes in the air catching the imaginary balls off a game of tennis.

The new Type Pad Pro attaches to the Nyko Wand (it cannot be attached to the Wiimote directly because it is semi-incompatible and it lacks Nyko’s propriety Trans-Port Technology). It then transforms an ordinary Nintendo controller into a spaceship-like full QWERTY keyboard. Through the trans-port communication, the A and B buttons on the want would be located at the Type Pad Pro while the pad itself is connected to the Wii through a wireless USB cable.

I know it’s quite confusing but the point is, the Wiimote and the Type Pad Pro cannot communicate directly. The result: a QWERTY keyboard that allows you to connect and browse through the Internet using the Wiimote.

I don’t know why there’s a need for a full QWERTY keyboard with the Wii. If we want to browse the Internet, we can always turn on the laptop or what not. Perhaps, this is a good use for the Wii delivery service in Japan. If you need to note something with the delivery service, all you need to do is type in a little something using the Type Pad Pro and they’re good to go. Maybe they should make a Japanese-language keyboard, whatcha think? No price yet has been released for the Nyko but I’m pretty sure it will be out in the market soon.
