3.0 out of 5 stars Great product but, March 6, 2009

By	K. Conroy (SF CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have owned this product for just over a year now. With that being said im on my second on and looking to get a third. The first one i bought was making a high pitch noise out of the box... so i warrantied it. the second one i currently have just stopped working. Keep in mind i have no kids and i use it in my bedroom so its not falling on any hard floors or anything like that. So im in the process of getting it RMA'd again. Their build quality is piss-poor. I love the remote and its functionality... but please please please build it with pride!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great MCE remote, December 8, 2008

By	Z. Simic (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use this remote with Vista MCE all the time (in living room). The RF reception works great. I occasionally use it as a mouse, it does that part of the job very well too. Never tried to control over devices with it though.

For Media Center, I wouldn't go back to my previous remote. The fact that this can be used as a mouse as well is a definitive plus. It takes some getting used-to to efficiently control the pointer on screen, but once you get the hang of it, it's great.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fragile!, August 9, 2009

By	Shankfoo (Boston MA) - See all my reviews

The product works great until the first time you drop it. I've had 2 of these and they've both broken the same way; the housing gyro in the back end of the unit breaks off and rattles around, rendering the mouse cursor unusable. Both incidents were an 18-inch drop onto a wooden floor from the armrest of a sofa.

If you don't have thick padded carpet in your TV room, stay away.
