The distance determines how close you can bring a remote to the screen. The normal sensor bar is around 7.5in apart and is made for a couple feet away.

The Wii sensor bar also has several LEDs on each side to increase range. if you're planning on using this for your laptop portable, I'd just gut and use a full sensor bar and its measurements.

I'm using the original sensor bar to test.

I made a sensor bar before and it have 3 leds in each side kepping the original measurements and worked well. I'm thinking to use 2 leds in each side for the laptop and keep the original distance or a little smaller. I'm in doubt.

what do you think?

If 3 worked at an acceptable distance, 2 would probably do fine as well if you're short on space.
