Thanks to both, my question was actually aimed to the fact you need to plug the CC to the wiimote for it to connect to the Wii, and wasn't sure if it's comfortable at all having the wiimote and it's cable hanging around while you're playing; or if I'd need to search for the NYKO grip accesory for them as well.
I don't really care about feeling the rumble or not, but I don't know if the cable is long enough to leave the wiimote on a table or something; or short enough to leave the wiimote on my lap without the cable bothering me
