MX3 Pro Mini Keyboard Backlight Fly Remote Mouse,Android TV Remote Control,IR Learning Mini Wireless Keyboard for Android TV Box.HTPC.IPTV,Networked Set-top Box,Mini PC(Battery not Included)

I bought (and then got 2 additional through Amazon Vine) the MX3 Pro Remote to use with my Home Theater PC, in particular, I needed a remote that would work with Plex, turn my 2016 Samsung TV on/off, and change inputs/volume of my surround sound system. The MX3 Pro did everything I needed it to with ease. I was able to set everything up in about 20 minutes after opening the box, and that included reading the instructions and playing with all the different buttons.I was able to set the power button to turn off/on the TV, and the four customizable color buttons at the bottom of the remote worked flawlessly for my surround sound. For my use case, I use 2 of the buttons for volume, one for power, and the other as a source/input button.For Plex users, many of the other remotes and controllers have syncing issues with Plex HTPC that cause errors or are ignored by Plex HTPC altogether, looking at you Xbox controller users, BUT this remote worked on Plex right out of the box with no setup once so ever!For the first time since using Plex HTPC my partner can also just grab the remote and use our living room TV without getting confused by the 3 different remotes and unique start-up procedures that we once had to deal with. The remote is so easy to use that even a child could use my complex Plex HTPC setup. This took my clunky niche hobby and made it approachable for anyone who comes over to use my home theater for only $10??? How did I not know about this until now?Next, the buttons themselves. The illuminated back lights also make all the difference in our dark living room "theater". Even better, it only illuminates the side that is face up and only after you press a button, so it saves on battery life while still being ready to use at any moment. My stock surround sound remote has almost 50 buttons on it and none of them are illuminated. Finding the right one in the dark has been a problem since we bought it, but thanks to the MX3 Pro, there's no more fumbling in the dark. It was not uncommon in the past for me to try to turn the sound up and accidentally change inputs or other settings, much to the chagrin of my partner.I also love being able to flip the remote over and quickly type in search bars. The navigational layout also feels natural and easy to use. You have to press the buttons quite firmly for them to register. I believe this was intentional so you don't accidentally hit buttons. Additionally, I noticed the buttons on the upright side are the only ones that work, so you can't accidentally hit the buttons on the bottom of the remote when trying to use it.The only con is the range of the air mouse function. It works great from about 10 feet away, but beyond that, it’s very jumpy and difficult to use. I will likely only use this feature occasionally, so it is not a big deal to me, but if you are picturing yourself lying in bed with a TV on the other side of the room, I don't think you will be satisfied with it. There is a button on the remote if you want to disable it so the cursor isn't scrolling all over the screen. I did try using a USB port extension and mounting the dongle on top of the TV, which helped significantly, but a cable did not come with the kit, and I don't think this would be done in a typical install.All in all, I’d highly recommend this remote for anyone trying to get a smoother experience out of their Home Theater PC. The only thing I would change is a longer-range antenna for the USB dongle so the Air Mouse works better and I'd love even more of the programmable buttons.For the price, you really can’t beat it. I am legitimately surprised this remote is only $10.

I tried this remote for home automation. It worked fine. Buttons have a good feel, and there are lots of them. It seems the buttons meant for IR learning cannot be used for bluetooth functions. So, some of the buttons are unavailable for bluetooth mapping.The media control buttons have a terrible layout. I'm sure I'd get used to the layout, but it's just weird for the sake of saving a bit of space / cost.

I have a remote PC in a rack. I can view it from any room in my house through the TVs. I needed a way to control it. This works great! It connects every time and is very easy to use. You have to get used to air mousing, but you'll get used to it. They keyboard side is excellent as well.I tried a different brand before this one, and didn't quite like it. This one is backlit too. If you're looking for an air mouse and keyboard, look no further.

this remote overall is easy to use, plug the receiver into the usb port and put a couple batteries in the remote and it hooks right up. wish it had more than three programmable buttons for the tv portion of it, but i guess being able to program three buttons to the tv is a bonus in itself. keyboards and remote controls both alike do not have a long life expectancy in my shop, but i feel this one will last longer than most. it fits well in my hand, the only draw back i have found is when the back light is on i cannot read the special characters on the buttons on the key board side and the button to control the back light is on the "remote" side of the controller. so if im entering in an email and its not light enough in my office i have to flip the controller back over to hit the button to turn the back light off so i can find the "@" symbol. overall it functions well and does what it is supposed to. for the money, cant complain.

Ordered this remote control and it functions as it should but definitely feels cheap quality wise....the seams where it snaps together feel very sharp in hand and do not line up evenly, I constantly feel it in my hand and its annoying, very sharp corners also, as well programmable buttons are good except for the power button for some reason its except my TV power button and works first time to power off and on but then after it loses the programming .....whats weird is I actually have to program 2 buttons on this remote for the TV power in order for the button to work utizing both buttons...I have to hit one and then hit the other for my TV to power off....so weird that this is the case....all my other devices programmed with no issues...other than that it works and for the price the backlit feature is nice. .... one thing i really wish these companies that all copy the same remote would do is make a silicone cover for it, dropped it lightly once recently and it already chipped in the corner
