Sounds plausible but as you say really needs someone with the hardware to try things out first or if you can borrow them from a friend.|

So has anyone tried this? Or anyone more tech savy than me that already has some of the components like their tv hooked up to the pc want to try it? Cause I dont want to waste money getting the parts that I need to do it only to find out it would not work. |
There are some who have got CoH to use various game controllers in the past - its mainly a matter of identifying what the various controls map to. It may also be that movement controls map to the joystick settings in CoH.

It should be possible.
I myself play using a PS2 controller (that's 14 buttons plus directional sticks) and a mouse only to click on things. A number of folks are doing similar. Not being in front a computer monitor might help with your ergo issues. The Wii controller won't have as many buttons but you could probably figure out how to make it payable.

Great game while it lasts.
Here's a wikihow article on how to set up your wiimote as a mouse. It seems wiimotes use bluetooth to wirelessly connect, so if you're PC doesn't have a bluetooth receiver, you'll likely need to purchase that, as well. Otherwise, it seems pretty straight forward.

So lately i have been having trouble with my right shoulder and arm, where it will just hurt. I think its due to sitting at a computer all day. Either way i have been trying to not be on the computer as much because of it. Anyway, I was thinking that the wiimote would make a pretty decent mouse for the pc. I could use my tv as a monitor and the wiimote and nunchuck as a mouse/keyboard replacement and a wireless keyboard for when I need to type.

Jay Doherty: Yes, there was this one night that I was ready to go home but had to drop the browns off at the super bowl before I left for home. While on the throne it hit me. I stayed for a few more hours and that why we have the pain pads in the game.
