Not ready for prime time

The Nyko Charge Station for the Nintendo Wiimote is a good idea that has not been fully thought out and engineered. The basic concept of a recharger station for charging/storing a Wiimote is great, but the engineering has not kept up with Nintendo's advances. Nintendo's new, shock absorbing gel cover on the 'mote is an excellent protector for a delicate piece of machinery. However, when in place the recharger is unusable because the 'mote does not fit nor make contact with the charging contacts. The user must strip off the gel cover, turn it right side out, and find a safe storage place for the cover until the 'mote is ready to be used. Then the user has to put the gel cover back on the 'mote. When done with play a user has to decide whether to find another storage site for the 'mote, or decide to skin off the gel cover again and store the 'mote on the charger. The fine motor control and strength required for all this will be beyond the capabilities of most children and many limited mobility users.
