+[[File:Wii_MotionPlus_top.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Wii Motion Plus, circuit board, top]]The Wii Motion Plus contains two gyro sensors: A dual-axis gyro by InvenSense, the [http://www.invensense.com/products/idg_600.html IDG-600], and a single-axis gyro by EPSON TOYOCOM labelled ''X3500W''.
+
+Until its release it was speculated that only a dual-axis gyro was included in the Wii Motion Plus. The combined use of a dual-axis gyro and a single-axis gyro is what enables the Wii Motion Plus to report the angular rate in all three axis, thus allowing full orientation tracking.
+
+Specifications of the X3500W are currently unknown, but may be similar to the specifications of the similarly named [http://www.epsontoyocom.co.jp/english/product/Sensor/set01/xv3500cb/index.html XV-3500CB] (same manufacturer.)
