> They're a mouse but you hold them in your hand and wave them around to move the pointer, like a Wiimote This part got me really excited... > The mouse pointer part sucks in my experience ...but then this killed it. So, follow-up question: is there anything like this which works well as a mouse pointer too? I love the experience of using the Wii Remote as a mouse, and I'd love a device like that which is made for PC and works without a fuss (or a sensor bar).

TL;DR - Look into Gyration mice. Story below: Many moons ago, I helped an older couple who unfortunately got vastly oversold on a Windows XP Media Center Edition computer from Gateway, when all they needed was a simple computer. The computer had a real nice Hauppauge capture card to act as a DVR, a neat amplifier looking PC case, and all sorts of bells and whistles. For a pointer device, Gateway included a Gyration mouse, which operated on 2.4 GHz RF, and worked surprisingly well. It used a trigger to activate gyroscopic mouse movement. Turns out Gyration is still in business! https://www.adesso.com/product/gyration-air-mouse-go-plus/ https://www.adesso.com/product/gyration-air-mouse-go-plus/
