IR + Controller for Mario Galaxy

[Kurausukun]

I actually don't know if this belongs here, but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for how to set up my controller (It's a Wii U Pro Controller) so that I can comfortably play the Galaxy games. I hate it when the pointer just sits in the middle of the screen--it's incredibly distracting, but at the same time I'd like to be able to collect star bits with relative ease, and I haven't found a setup that works. I also do not have a USB sensor bar, and I would rather not have to buy one.
