Retail USB Sensor Bars?

The candle trick is aggrevating as hell in Skyward Sword - it works in menus fine but is extremely annoying once you start flying since it always leans one way or the other - could be a height issue but I'd still rather have a sensor bar. I always have problems with my actual wii sensor bar (only works with dolphin once in a blue moon) so I was wondering if there were any good USB sensor bars (possibly wireless) I could find at walmart or something? My dad offered to just buy me one after hearing me raging (I'm still in the first race in the beginning..) and the candles bother him.

You did turned your Wii on to make use of its sensor bar on Dolphin right?

I am looking to buy an USB sensor bar as well.

the only one i know of is from nextronics. i ordered it sometime ago, but it hasn't arrived yet (shipping from US to europe).

another possibility would be to buy a battery-driven sensor-bar (those are much more common), cut off the plug off a normal USB-cable, and solder it's cables into the battery compartment. i did that, and it works like a charm.

Will This Sensor bar work on a PC? It's from Kmart so I doubt it, but maybe someone knows?

Yes any of those work , I just got a Niko one cut a usb wire and soldered them to the leads where the batteries go ( spring is - flat is + ) that is if you are around 5v ( 4 AA batteries ) , or you can used rechargeables if ya want.
