Reasonably priced, fully functioning
Written: Feb 20 '02
Pros:Controls all of your electronics. Now, reasonably priced for its functionality.
Cons:Bulky, display too dim, touchscreen should be more sensitive.
The Bottom Line: A quality remote control, but needs some tweaking - particularly the display and touchscreen sensitivity. Reasonably priced way to minimize your remotes.
It was a great idea to integrate w/ Microsoft. The macros are useful and easy to set up. Scrolling through the device 'pages' could be easier. Also, the response time to your actions is a little slow, but one can easily get past that as soon as you're used to it. The setup was also a little too drawn out. This is definitely the cheapest fully programmable/customizable remote on the market - it does what it says. The wheel selector is also a very nice feature. It could use more generic tactile buttons - but it's biggest flaw has to be the brightness of the display when it's not backlit - i had envisioned a screen similar to the palm pilot's, and this is far dimmer than that.
