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.

Great remote for the price. Works well, backlight is bright and paired with Kodi and LibreELEC right away. The buttons are a little looser, but its expected for the price. -1 star on the product itself because it has a little quirk where the air mouse has to be turned on and off for the keyboard to recognize. However on the plus side, it does have an accelerometer so it knows which side is up and only the keys and backlight work on that side. No accidentally hitting a key on the back

AMAZING! If this did nothing but basic air mouse functions, it would still be a great product but it does so much more. I use it on a mini PC media center and it works fantastic. The remote has many buttons for dedicated control functions plus 4 learning buttons for your custom configuration, and a complete QWERTY keyboard on the back. The backlight function is very useful in darkened rooms. A great addition to any tech setup. Great value on this 2-pack and I may buy more.

This is a really nice replacement for the weird sized / shaped remotes that streaming players come with. It's bigger than I expected which was a nice surprise. However only in length and width. It's quite thin especially for having two working sides. The buttons are a soft rubbery material with great feel. Tactile feel of pressing buttons is perfect. If you're old enough to remember, you'll be transported back to the 80's and 90's when AV stuff came with nice big great feeling remotes. I have no idea why makers of modern electronics feel the need to "innovate" with remotes. Remotes were perfected 40+ years ago. Why try to reinvent the wheel? (And do a crappy job every time!) The remote is light as a feather with batteries installed. If you have hardwood floors or tile you'll appreciate that when you drop it. It's not heavy enough to self-destruct like most modern remotes. I'm looking at you, Nvidia Shield TV remote! The backlight on the white backlight model is BRIGHT! Too bright for a fully dark room. I wish there was a key to adjust it. To my surprise, the air mouse works great and is not overly sensitive. I have an old Samsung TV with an air mouse remote that's so sensitive you need the dexterity of a surgeon to use it. I was able to learn all the buttons I wanted to from a Samsung TV circa 2013 . I could not learn all the buttons I wanted from an 2015-ish LG TV. Would be nice if it could learn from any IR remote regardless of protocol. More custom learned buttons would be nice too. However, the learning procedure is simple and efficient. THE KEYBOARD ON THE BACK IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NVIDIA SHIELD TV (2015). I have two shields and it doesn't work with either one. I have no idea how that could happen. Follow the USB HID spec and it should work on anything. It was the one thing I was sure would work before I bought the remote. Oh, well... These have become my "daily driver" remotes for my Nvidia Shield TV's and they're a pleasure to use. Previously, I used the new model Shield TV remotes. These pieces of garbage: https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-Motion-Activated-Backlit-Buttons-Customizable/dp/B08GNHJB6X Whoever designed those abominations should be committed, especially the guy who designed the battery door. I have of those and they both broke in less than a year. The icing on the cake is the super easy to access AAA battery door, no screwing with USB recharging and so easy to open. They do go though batteries quick if you keep the backlight enabled but that's what rechargeables are for right? The remote works perfectly fine with NiMH AAA batteries. I might buy a couple multi-packs to keep as spares since this is kind of a generic unbranded item and might disappear from Amazon without warning. That's how much I like them.

The mouse sometimes becomes erratic, backlight does t light up freezes up and made my TV very slow I would return but box got tossed out.

Worked great for almost 1 month with my 2017 Nvidia Shield Pro, then suddenly the remote no longer communicated or paired with its USB dongle. Tried all recommended fixes including new batteries but it still wouldn't work. Returned for refund.
