Pros: Good range, compact, easy to use
Cons: software could be better, pricey, short cable
Summary: After buying a new computer, a dvd-rom, a tv card and decent speakers, the only thing that my computer/entertainment system lacked was a remote. It was bugging the hell out of me that I had to get up from my bed and use the mouse or keyboard to pause a ... read more

Pros: Compact, easy to use, fully customizable.
Cons: Was pricey, but it has been reduced. Watch batteries instead of AAA.
Summary: The Keyspan Digital Media Remote is almost a necessity for me. I love to listen to mp3's when I am away from my desk, I have a tv-tuner on my PC, and I like being able to control DVD's from the comfort of my couch. There are not many IR remotes out ... read more

Pros: Small, comfortable in the hand. USB interface is a big plus.
Cons: Wish it had a laser pointer built in.

Pros: construction quality, nice buttons on remote, Amazing range/distance, can use different universal remote
Cons: Flat calculator style batteries.. should have used "AAA" or "AA"
Summary: The media remote is one of those products that catches your interest at the store, you pick it up to learn what it can do, and put it back down realizing that you can't justify spending $79 on a maybe "unnecessary" luxury item...

Pros: A great tool for the road warrior giving presentations from a laptop.
Cons: Somewhat expensive.
Summary: I have always felt somewhat constrained when giving a presentation using my laptop. Being tied to the keyboard just did not feel right. I much prefer to move around and be more animated. My sitting in front of the keyboard also limited the number of ... read more

Pros: Works as expected, multi-purpose applications
Cons: Bug with iTunes
Summary: Not worth the $79 when if first came out, I jumped at the opportunity to buy it for $49 at the Apple Store. The remote works like a charm, and I am able to do my powerpoint presentations remotely and use my computer like a jukebox, playing MP3s. My ... read more

Pros: small, backlite, easy, good sound
Cons: none
Summary: on my birthday I was given the choice of either a portable MP3 player or a CD burner. I choose the portable MP3 player because it's smaller and it'seasy to use and it's faster then burning CD's. I can also get much better sound quality from my Rio 500 ... read more

Pros: Works exactly as promised.
Cons: Totally unnecessary.
Summary: The real question is: Are you so lazy that you need a remote for your computer? (For me, since I bought the thing, the answer was yes but read on).
