    Hello

    I am currently on my Wii, and I'm having some problems.

    I use an keyboard (the one from my computer, USB) to type (XD)
    When I'm typing for 3 minutes, the Wii remote shuts off.

    System Menu: 4.2
    Wii remote battery: 3/4

    I have one other Wii remote, but that one is charging.

    USB dock:
    Keyboard

    Normal slot:
    Charger (Big Ben, batteries included, inside the Wii Remote)

    Like now, it shutted off again.

    EDIT: My iPod is tuning the radio, with my headphones. Maybe that is needed to know?

    Don't the Wiimotes have an inactivity shutdown, to save battery life?

    3 mins would be about the average time before they shut off.

    Yeah, the wii remotes automatically shut off after not being used for a while. Just press any button and it'll re-connect.

    I thought that was 5 / 10 minutes, or am I wrong?

    This is 2 minutes too earlie...

    Anyways, the other Wii remote instantly shuts off after 20 seconds...
    And that was worse while playin MKWii...
    I lost... AND I WAS IN THE LAST CUP!

    Yup...

    I was racing, happy, and suddently my kart stopped moving. I thougt "WTF, my Wii is cheating" but my Wii Remote turned off.

    This has happened a few times. The Wii remote was on 4/4 of it's power.

    Either your Wii remote is broken, or it's just on low battery.
