How to hold a controller depends on its type. Use the controller as shown in the following images.
Note: For information about how to attach the wrist strap and Wii Remote Jacket, refer to the Wii Operations Manual or the instruction manual for the Wii Remote Jacket.
IMPORTANT: Always use the wrist strap when using the Wii Remote. See page 2 Usage Precautions.
Note: Always refer to the instruction manual for each controller that you use.
If the buttons or sticks on a Classic Controller are off from neutral position* and have stopped operating normally, do the following:
* The "neutral position" is where no control sticks are tilted and no buttons are being pressed. If any control stick is tilted or any buttons are being pressed when the power is turned on for the Wii console, that state will be set as the neutral position, and the control sticks and buttons will not operate normally.
