Not enough data to know if it will work (Wavelength etc) but if you read the comments it doesn't look very promising. Have you looked at the Marketplace in the forum. Much better Ir-Pens specifically designed for the Wiimote IWB.

I have some IR LED's somewhere.  It's this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2399.  Would that work?
