This is accomplished with a little python script running in the n810, which receives the data from the wiimote via bluettoth, and translates the wiimote events into X-window events (mouse clicks or keystrokes)
The code is published at https://garage.maemo.org/projects/wiicontrol/

Very cool! I’m planning on getting a n810 when I upgrade my PDA, and I’ll definitely check this out when I do. Maybe use it as a basis for a chording keyboard too, since no one’s really making a wearable bluetooth keyboard and I definitely don’t have the skills to build hardware from scratch.

Not quite the same. …
Not quite the same. Admittedly, cwiid is much more complete and technical sound than my approach, and allows for a “true” integration of the wiimote as an input device. However my approach has some advantages:
1) It runs entirely in user space. No drivers or modules to be installed.
2) The mapping from wiimote to X-window events is very flexible. You can assign to each button any sequence of X-window events, (mouse clicks, keypresses, …) i.e, “macros” tailored to specific applications.
