Heck, yeah! Consumer goods are being made more and more "disposable" lately, right? It's like durability is no longer important to us anymore, with our limited attention spans and constant upgrading... Damn I'm feeling "less young" lately, LOL!
while im sure what your saying is possible, for me, it just didnt work.
what ever the o.e.m wires are coated with , or what they are made of, it just didnt seem to blend well with normal off the shelf wire and i could not get any flow of electricty by this method.
if you check 1:08 and pause it, you will see the wires are red and copper'ish.
this is a coating on the wires and prevents decent contact.
if i could have done it the ordinary way, i would have. as im a lazy fecker :)
The OEM wire is enamel-coated copper wire. You can use sandpaper to sand the coating off (i'ts a really thin coating) or carefully scrape it off using a razor blade (takes practice to scrape it off without cutting the extremely thin wire). Then you can just proceed to solder it to your extension wire. The problem with THAT is the OEM wire is very fragile, and could tend to break at the solder joints, so use shrink tubing on the joint.
it seems alot of manufacturers are using this enamel coated wire lately.
( creative use it for their headsets )
yes, the wires are very thin and delicate, and in my view should be changed out completely. i cant imagine that the connectivity and data transfer can be all that good with such a thin wire.
so, what does this mod actually do to your sensor bar?

Emanel coating has been around for decades.

easier way, mod it into a wireless one:
Go wireless with your Wii sensor bar in under $5 v=WkGwC40cVgU

Good Job.
However, I do not understand why this is better than just cutting a pigtail on both ends and splicing a longer wire between them.
This seems like you have a lot more chance in damaging the OEM gear.

@givemeafuknbreak111 Its a lot easier to just use a lighter to burn off the enamel instead of scraping it off.
