Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhanced Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote by Nick Garrett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Finally, all the features you need are at your fingertips.

First of all, you should know that I'm not a fan of the universal remote control. I don't mind having 6 remotes on my desk and having to reach for 3 to run the whole TV/console/Bluray etc. Once everything is on you only need one remote to work anyway. However, this remote control is what I've been missing for a long time. better than my tv netflix plugin, sony blyray interface, ps3 or wii. I don't even need to mention the latter as it's hard to call it an interface, but it's good. Big plus points of this remote control: 1. It does not need to be bound every time it is not used for a while (time saving)2. It has an instant on/off button for the console. No more having to hold down the X button and bring up the menu to turn off the console late at night before bed.3. All video controls are here - no menus! Direct hit! (Play, Pause, Stop, FF, Rev etc.) 4. You can program it to control the volume of your TV or AUX. and all buttons are highlighted in light green when in use. This should now be the 5th Pro, but some might find the bright green color a bit overwhelming in a dark room at night. It confuses me a bit, but not enough to deduct a star. All in all, having the button glow at night should have been nice, right? It's just a little light for me. Microsoft did a good job this time. I think it was one of 'they said we'd listen' when they released the console. Too bad it took them so long to hear the call :) Great quick service from Revain!
