# THIRD-PARTY LICENSED NINTENDO WII CONTROLLERS

***

There are many "knock off" Wii controllers on the market. Some work with Zen, and some don't. As there are so many different serial numbers and brand names, it's definitely a potluck if it will work or not. Let us know if you have a third-party Wii controller that works, and we'll add it to this page 👍

# WIIMOTE USB SENSOR BAR

Yes, you can use a Wii USB Sensor bar with a Wiimote Plus and Cronus Zen! Simply connect it to any USB power source and place it in optimal sight of your gaming area.&#x20;

It works as a reference point for the Wiimote Plus, which has a camera on the front that is looking for the Infra-Red lights on the Sensor Bar, that is how it determines the Wiimote's location.

If you need one, [we do sell them](https://shop.cronusmax.com/wiimote-usb-sensor-bar-for-cronusmax.html) 🛒 in the Cronus store
