Yesterday's future tomorrow: woodgrain Wiimote concepts
Joe D's concept of a beautiful, Atari VCS-style Wiimote, Nunchuk, Perfect Shot, and Classic Controller makes us want to slap some wood veneer over the shiny white controllers right away. While thirty years and Jonathan Ive have clouded our minds, one look at something like this reminds us that real electronics look like furniture. Microsoft knows this!
Despite being one of the most obvious designs (in our minds), we didn't see a woodgrain theme on the one decal site we checked, the popular DecalGirl. That means the market is wide open! We're not sure, however, what's going on with the lights. Electronics with lights? That's crazy.

wow.. those are sexy joys
i wouldnt mind buying these
is it just a skin (like decals) ? with black rubber shells
hope its not decals.. it dooms your controller to get sticky and gummy after 4 months (or only 1 if you play fighting games;). tips: use lighter fluid to wash the glue off.
at a 2nd glance, it looks more like paint, so dont expect it to be at sell :(

Makes me pine for the old Zenith console television I used to play ColecoVision with (RF hookup, natch)!
