The makers of the excellent Remote Buddy software allows you to use a Wiimote to control your Mac. Any key can be assigned to a button. Further, the Wiimote can control the mouse by pointing, like it controls the cursor on the Wii console. To see all the the Wii mote can do when paired with Remote Buddy, check out their very cool demo video – its like QuickSilver for remotes.
