Some notes: It logs too much. After powering off the wiimote it fills the logs with reconnect tries. It would be nice to specify the led pattern in the config file to use for this wiimote (it is not convenient to have two wiimotes with led 1 active when the Wii and the bsdmode are in use). Feature requests: Being able to use the up/down/left/right buttons somehow. Either as additional button events, or to move the mouse (best solution: make it configurable). Being able to use additional controllers (e.g. Nunchuk) too (again, as additional mouse buttons or moving the mouse).
