You might consider binding actions to “dead” keys (that may or may not exist on your actual keyboard), and simulate THOSE keypresses, so any accidental input doesn’t do anything.

Or maybe it’s possible to pretend it’s a joystick…

[...] Reading data from the nunchuck takes two steps. First, set the read pointer. Next, read six values to get the measurements, decoding guide here. [...]

Only that I didn’t have a Bluetooth dongle at the time and it wasn’t native on my motherboard. Well, I also didn’t require the Wiimote itself for this project – although using the two together could give me more tilt options. I think if I get back to this I would definitely use the two together.

Great idea. But was there a particular reason that you opted not to simply connect a WiiMote via bluetooth to the PC as so many others have done? Once connected, it would be relatively simple to convert the accelerometer readings to your desired keystroke.

An even neater solution is to connect an Arduino between the keyboard and the PC.
The Arduino pass all commands to and from the keyboard, as well as it can send the apropiate keyboard codes depending on the tilt of the Nunchuk.

Cheaper and faster to implement though is the modifed keyboard solution.
The Arduino solution requires some programming, but the software is pretty simple.

That’s really cool. I have a broken keyboard in the basement…maybe I can get it to do this. Thanks!

OK, it’s late in Sweden, so some typos….
I mean the keys ‘q’ and ‘e’, no else. Tilting your head would make your FPS figure lean left or right.
Tilt forward and backwards could control lay down and reload, or whatever.

And sensors on the feet could mean…..(can go on forever…)

Controlling the keyboard keys are really possible.
I connected three wires to the little keyboard control board inside a HP keyboard.
These wires were connected to a 4066 analog switch. By controlling the 4066 switches I can inject a ‘q’ or an ‘a’, thus it would be a simple task to let an Arduino read the Nunchuk and control ‘q’ and ‘e’ accordingly.
Gotta try this!
I couldn’t find my camera so no pictures were taken. Maybe I do antother keyboard later and takes some pics to let you see how it’s done.
