Doesn't work with Samsung Galaxy Tablet S5E

Unfortunately this remote doesn't work with Samsung Galaxy Tablet S5E which I ended up wanting to use for mouse pointer control and media controller settings in Samsung Dec mode. Although the device was able to recognize the "ZY Control Mic8k" driver, none of the buttons on the remote responded to any commands and unfortunately I was unable to control my tablet with it. So why 4/5 stars? When I plug the USB stick into my Windows 10 machine, the remote connects automatically and works great as it should. The air mouse control was an interesting concept as it allows me to move the cursor naturally by flicking it in the appropriate direction I want it to move. It takes a while to get used to, though, and if you're not a fan, the company has been kind enough to include a touchpad for mouse control. The buttons also worked flawlessly as I was able to watch YouTube videos and other Google results from another part of the room without getting up. The remote also has some great features, like a backlit button that lights up all buttons at once, a voice listener for the moment of speaking to text, and a beep to detect a missing remote when you press a button on the USB stick. This remote also has a feature that allows it to learn from other remotes using infrared technology. Maybe this could fix my Samsung tablet problem. But other than that, it's a very good remote for around $20 and has many of the features you'd expect from a keyboard-equipped device. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work with my Samsung tablet, so I have to deduct a star from this rating.
