Note that the very first Wii Remote Pluses, such as those included in [[FlingSmash]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]], are not <tt>RVL-CNT-01-TR</tt> Wiimotes. For this reason this guide will not use the blanket "Wii Remote Plus" term, but will use "-TR Wiimote" to refer to the <tt>RVL-CNT-01-TR</tt> Wii Remotes specifically. While the addition of the sync button on the battery cover is the common way to tell non-TR Wii Remote Pluses from -TR Wii Remote Pluses, even that is not 100% reliable. The only way to know for sure to is connect it to a PC and see if it is registered as <tt>RVL-CNT-01-TR</tt>. | Note that the very first Wii Remote Pluses, such as those included in [[FlingSmash]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]], are not <tt>RVL-CNT-01-TR</tt> Wiimotes.

= Linux = | |||
Linux does not require any special treatment. Use the normal connecting methods shown in [[Configuring Controllers]]. | |||
= Mac OS X = | |||
OS X does not require any special hardware or software. It only requires you to pair the device beforehand. | |||
#Open Bluetooth Settings and click the + sign to set up a new device. | |||
#While it is scanning, press the red sync button on the back of the controller. All four lights on the front of the controller should be flashing. | |||
#Back in the Bluetooth Settings, hit "Continue" and wait for it to fail. | |||
#Select 'Passcode Options' and choose "Do not use a passcode with this device". Click 'OK' and then click 'Quit'. | |||
#Double check in the Bluetooth menu to be certain that your system registered the controller. | |||
Once you have completed the pairing process, from then on you will be able to connect the controller like you would on any other OS, as described in the [[Configuring Controllers]] guide. However you will have to press the red sync button instead of 1+2 every time you connect. | |||
