if i'm adding ir leds to my wii portable as a 'sensor bar', should there be a switch for them or is it okay for them to be on at all times? would they drain much battery?

If you're only powering them when the system is on then it's fine to have them on constantly, they use very little power

How would they behave when on a portable? Is the pointer aim off?
i assume i'd work just fine since all it needs are two ir leds placed horizontally and decently separated from each other.
