It is easily done, even if it is your first electronics project! I have designed a PCB but it can be easily done on a veroboard, as you can see on the photos.
  Here is PCB which can be used for the board:  and the same file in printable PDF. The only thing you will need after this PCB is to find a metal pad/wire to touch the PCB and wiimotes power pins. I used a fairly "fat" copper cable, but you can use anything you have available, or just cut some small pieces of veroboard (like yours:)  * This mod is based on a LM317 voltage regulator, which takes the USB's 5V and outputs 2.8V, ready to be used on the Wiimote. It DOES not destroy your wiimote, the only "hack" is a hole to pass the usb cable through (and an optional LED "power-ON" indicator light). * LM317 comes in these packages and the pinouts are as shown:  Thank you for posting this!
