Works Great! Does Exactly What It's Supposed To Do!

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2009

Verified Purchase

This remote is great. Installation was a breeze. All I did was plug in the USB receiver on the back of my PC and Windows automatically detected it. I was able to use the remote instantly. This is the perfect remote to control your PC and Media Center with. I like to sit back and watch DVDs and listen to music from a distance and this remote definitely assists me with that. All of the expected functionality is there: volume, Media Center button, menu, playback buttons, etc. I have absolutely no complaints. The RF receiver is fantastic. No need to point at any receiver; just use the remote to your desire. Another great thing about this remote it that it is pretty light and rather compact as compared to most other Media Center remotes. It requires two AAA batteries, which are included. Highly recommended!

fails as a remote

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

I had high hopes for this remote, i needed a RF remote since the xbox and mediacenter use some of the same IR codes, they would interfere. But this remote simply fails and the most basic of levels. the buttons dont work unless pressed excessively hard, and then they double or triple press. there is simply no way to press a button once. sad to say this remote is going right back on the shelf with my old cable box.

pros:
good range
RF doesnt interfere with xbox or mediacenter extenders.

cons:
buttons have to be pressed extremely hard
buttons double send commands!!!!!!!
very cheap feel to remote
rf dongle MUST be on front of Mediacenter to work

works great

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is the 2nd one of these that I bought. It works with Windows 7 even though the description only covers Vista. I use it with Windows Media Center. Since it is RF, line of sight is not needed. For me, it even works through a single wall, so the PC does not need to be in the same room as the TV. Installation is simple -- just plug in the USB receiver to the PC - no software to install.

Bill,

works well for a while, excessively complex and touchy

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2009

Verified Purchase

I'm replacing the same product, which I purchased about a year ago. My first product worked well for many months, then started flaking out requiring reset, and then finally couldn't be made to connect at all. I looked for an alternative RF remote with a decent range, but to no avail, so purchased the same product again. Even though my first unit failed too soon, it's worth the modest cost because it works, plug and play, to operate my Vista laptop media player from 60 feet without a need for line-of-sight pointing. For me, the Keyspan has other drawbacks: way too many buttons, and it is easy to bump a button and unexpectedly get some unintended function, especially mute. These problems are annoying when you're trying to teach a dance class, but won't be a problem for very many people. And who knows, maybe the failure of my first Keyspan was just a statistical anomaly.

Not as good as it is advertized

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2011

Verified Purchase

This product is very easy to install, and it works just like an IR remote.
However the range is not as strong as it is advertised. I had my htpc in my office room which is less than 30feet away from my remote and it was disappointing to see that it did not work.

I had my doubts to post this until I bought another product that just did that with no problem.
The issue with this product could be the fact that its receiver (usb powered antenna) is too week, but I could be wrong.

Nice product, reasonable price, works great in Windows 7/8/8.1

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

I've used other MCE remotes, and this one has a better key layout with somewhat larger buttons than some others--compare to Rosewill's similarly priced RHRC-11001, for example. If you're using for Windows Media Center on a PC (what it was designed for), installation is dead-simple: just plug it in and you're done. The RF is convenient, as you don't have to point the remote directly at your PC, but be aware that if you install the USB receiver in a rear port on your case that range will likely be somewhat limited due to the metal of the case interfering with the signal. I purchased a USB extender (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QES0MKA/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0) and mounted the receiver inside my case near the front in an empty 5.25" drive bay and it works just fine there. Check around Amazon's marketplace for different buyers: there seems to be quite a wide range of prices between new/used/refurbished and various sellers as well... could save you some money.

A must have for Windows Media Center

This is a must have for anyone wanting to add a Windows Media Center PC to their living room or bedroom. The remote gives you ultimate control over your Media Center experience, it works with windows Vista and Windows 7 both 32 & 64 bit OS I have tried it myself. The package comes with the remote, USB receiver, two AAA batteries and instructions, to install and operate the remote install the batteries plug in the USB receiver and Windows will load the drivers and that's it enjoy.

not bad, does what it's supposed to on Win7 also

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2011

Verified Purchase

Does just what it's supposed to. It DOES work on Win7 although it is marketed for Vistavistavista. However... I did find that the receiver (wish it was bluetooth but it's not) NEEDs to be plugged directly into the PC, unlike the other IR remote I used that worked in a USB hub. For some reason the USB receiver kept disconnecting itself and reconnecting. So use it near the PC and it should be fine.
