The V-09 is the earliest Wii Remote revision which is known to have been in the possession of private collectors. It is unknown exactly when it was created or distributed to third-party developers, but it is most likely one of the earliest Wii Remote revisions distributed to third parties based on its physical appearance. The V-09 which was obtained by a private collector is marked as "Sample 74", indicating that these were likely produced in very small quantities.

The V-09 uses RJ45 jacks to connect to a console, and as such, it is only compatible with [[Dolphin Development Hardware]] models which have this type of controller input. Since later DDH units have controller inputs identical to those found on a retail GameCube, this may indicate that this controller model is extremely old, possibly predating many of the other concepts for the Wii Remote which have been shown publicly. There are rumors that Nintendo distributed motion controller prototypes to third party studios such as Factor 5 years before work was begun on the Wii, and due to the V-09's phone-style connector and extremely prototypical appearance, it is possible that this is a controller model from that era which was distributed to Nintendo's top third-party partners for evaluation purposes.
