Attempts to emulate the Wii Remote API and JavaScript events using a mouse and keyboard - this should allow many games or special pages written for the Internet Channel on Nintendo Wii to work on normal desktop browsers.

Accessibility notes
Scripts designed to work only using the Wii Remote API are already inaccessible to any other browser. This script helps extend to some desktop browsers, making those pages more accessible. However, it relies on a specific mouse type as well as a keyboard, and cannot work if JavaScript is disabled. Ensure that without JavaScript, without a mouse, and without a Wii Remote, the page content is still accessible.
