Air Mouse,MX3 Pro Backlit Mini Keyboard Remote Control,Mini Wireless Keyboard & IR Learning Air Mouse Remote,Compatible for Raspberry Pi, Android TV Box, Projector,HTPC, Window, Mac OS

This review is base on what the product does compare to what the description says it does.The IR portion of the remote works flawless at least with my 2012 LG TV and 2012 Samsung both non smart TVs. Teaching the buttons wasn't hard and it took me maybe about 5mins to do it.I have a Nexus player that I'm using it with and it works perfect. Home, back, play/pause and of course the directional buttons. I was surprised the mic work when using the mic icon on the Nexus player. The cursor also works but I'm not a big fan and I wish I can deactivated permanent but I can't.This remote does exactly what the description says I just wish there was couple changes.It doesnt have backlight which is nice to have since you have to hit "tv" if you're using the RF and want to lower or raise the volume. Which comes to my next point, I wish I could use volume up/down regardless if I'm in IR or RF but it doesn't have the ability to do that.Base on this I give it 5 stars bc the remote is true to the description.I'll give it 4 stars base on the things I wish it did which would make this remote perfect.I almost forgot, the keyboard works good but it's a little weird using the middle keys.

Great remote and works as advertised. There were some users complaining that the back button did not work but I took a chance and ordered it anyway since $15 is so cheap. To my surprise, the "Back" button worked for me if the mouse pointer was turned off. I am using it with a Raspberry Pi3 with OpenELEC/Kodi installed on it. The pointer is no problem for me to use and actually pretty good but I prefer scrolling through the menu options with the directional buttons and using the back button. Occasionally I'll toggle on the mouse pointer which is very easy by pressing 1 button to turn it on or off. Note: The wife can't handle the pointer at all. (LOL). You really can't beat this remote for the price. I bought this and the one with the backlit keys/keyboard. Only complaint is no backlit keys or keyboard. They are while letters and easy to see in low light but not with all the lights off while watching a movie. I wish someone would make one with all of the keys programmable like this one but also include the backlit keys, which this one does not. The backlit version I purchased is great too but you can only program the 4 color function buttons on the bottom. I did program all of the keys to control my surround sound and TV and it works. I had to do a couple of them several time but eventually they all worked. I can use this one remote to turn on my TV, Surround sound, and adjust the volume and change the inputs. The only thing you can't do is turn on a Raspberry Pi. You can turn it off but once there is no power to the dongle in the Pi, you can't turn it back on. I just leave it on all the time, which is no big deal to me.

This is the 3rd version of this MX3-type remote that I have owned over a number of years. It is easily the best, and finally everything I have wanted all along. (Backlit + Mic version selected.)The 1st version (not purchased on Amazon) lacked backlighting, had a bug that turned back on the air mouse every time you put it down, and also could not successfully be programmed to power on my Onkyo receiver. The 2nd version added key backlighting and fixed the air mouse bug. It also worked with all of my devices, although my Sony TV always requires a few attempts to get the power to switch off with this one. However, it had the top 4 keys mapped backwards, so FF/RW were switched with Next/Prev Track. That wasn't too bad, but what became very annoying, was that it would randomly double-click buttons I only typed once. This made volume adjustment and tracking difficult, and typing quite frustrating. The death-knell for that one, however, was when its batteries started to die every week or so. I guess that could be due to not powering down while idle, but this happened only after several years of regular use.Okay, on to the remote listed on this page, my 3rd variant. It fixes the double-click issue (types perfectly). Fixes the incorrectly mapped buttons from the previous model. The batteries seem to last fine so far. The air mouse not only functions as it is supposed to (doesn't turn itself back on), but the speed adjustment actually does something on this remote (I do wish there were more gradations though, as it only has maybe 3 settings, and they are very far apart). The backlighting is more white and easier to read. The programmable button for my Sony TV's power now works on the first press.Not only that, but this one ditches the useless mode that required you to toggle between the bottom 4 programmable IR buttons, or the rest of the RF buttons on the remote. On both prior versions, you always had to make sure you were in the correct mode for the type of button you were pressing. That never made sense to me. It's not like any of the buttons had 2 functions. So why can't we just use both types of button all of the time? Well on this remote, you finally can! No more pressing a button, wondering why it won't work, and then remembering that you left the remote in the other mode. Now the buttons simply do what they are supposed to without the need for mode-swapping.The voice control is not as capable or intuitive as something like a ROKU remote, but that is to be expected. You must engage Google Voice for the inputs to register. Sometimes this may require a bit of repetitive pressing until it comes up, but it is capable of voice-to-text inputs in search boxes, such as YouTube. However, it won't accept full commands to launch an app or something. It's just there to save you time in typing on the tiny keyboard side.Long story short, this may be the only remote with: Traditional remote layout (portrait, vol, mute, direction pad, back, etc.), programmable keys, full querty keyboard, gyro air mouse, plus optional backlighting and mic. I just purchased a second unit for my other TV.
