Cons: Sometimes doesn't register and would be nice to have more playback buttons.
Pros: Nice that it has a qwerty keyboard Comment:
Overall quite a useful remote. However on the rare occasion you need to press the button twice to get it to register. I like how its compatible with both Windows and Boxee if you have one. Great for HTPCs as well. |

Cons:
-No backlight-Not rechargeable
Pros: -Works with Boxee app perfectly-Works with Windows Media Center-CR2032 battery easy to find-Nice keyboard and top buttons-Excellent range-RF, not IR so line of sight not needed Comment:
This is better than I expected. I thought I would need another remote for WMC if I got this, but I found out this emulated keyboard shortcuts so it will work with anything. Test yourself by hitting the caps button on this remote, and notice the caps light turn on on your keyboard. If you can't get the simplified top buttons to do everything, flip it over and use the keyboard side (ie. for backspace in WMC).The only nice thing would be a backlight, but with my projector on I find there's enough light to see everything. It's hard to find a simple, streamlined remote with a qwerty keyboard without getting into the fancy and expensive HTPC remotes. Though not cheap, this remote works on radio frequency, not infrared so you don't need it pointed at anything. I found it picked up my button presses perfectly. Batteries can be bought in a 3 pack at Dollarama (Sunbeam), or at Superstore, the Source, or any other electronics store for longer lasting energizer/duracell/Panasonic.Highly recommended. |
Ordered this remote to replace my current full size wireless keyboard for my XBMC Media PC. Plugged in the included USB RF dongle and Windows 7 installed automatically. Small, sleek, and functional. Shipping was overnight! Extremely happy with the product and fast delivery!
