Rubber Wedge Wii Remote Stand

I had an epiphany last night while studying for a midterm.

You know the papercraft Wii remote stand I made, right? It looked like a sawed-off tin can and was held together with tape?

I realized a way to make a Wii remote stand that's slightly less cheap, has no moving parts, is ridiculously simple to set up, and will never break.

NOTE: These conceptual drawings are not drawn to scale. The four heights shown (see Fig. 2) are simply examples, and should not be misinterpreted as heights commercial versions would use.

You simply prop this wedge up under the front of the Wii remote.

This Wii remote stand has four distinct heights at which the Wii remote can be angled. (See: Fig. 1)

• The triangle's altitude (height 'A')
• The triangle's legs (heights 'B' & 'C')
• The prism's depth (height 'D')
  

The stand is coated with a high-friction material such as rubber and is heavy enough not to slide around on smooth surfaces.

You lay the Wii remote on the stand upside-down because:

• Unlike its underside, the top of the Wii remote is flat, allowing it to sit on the wedge easier.
• The Wii Remote (even without a Wii MotionPlus accessory) always knows what direction is down.

We recommend placing the Wii remote so that the edge of the stand is between the D-Pad and 'A' button to keep it from sliding off. Additionally, if you put a sleeve on the Wii remote (we recommend Nintendo's official Wii remote sleeve) it should further reduce the chances of it sliding off.

To coarse-adjust the angle, use a different edge of the stand.

To fine-adjust the angle, move the back end of the Wii remote back and forth as needed.
