Great Projector, Terrible Controller

The projector is just great. The screen is bright and the picture is clear. It's 1080p, which suits my needs as a secondary PC monitor. But his controller sucks. Don't get me wrong, it gets the job done, but if you intend to use the projector for any of the applications, prepare to be disappointed. More than half of the apps, including the APP STORE SELF, require the ability to sign in with Google. What usually happens is if you want to access Netflix, for example, you press the OK button in the middle of the arrow keys. , you will be taken to the login page, an input-ready cursor will appear, and the on-screen keyboard will appear immediately. What's wrong with Google? You press the sign in button via google play store, youtube or via settings and you are taken to the google sign in page and you don't have a cursor to type or an on screen keyboard. No problem, you can use the arrow keys to navigate to the input field and select it with "OK", which will open the on-screen keyboard. Now HERE is the problem. The OK button on the controller also doubles as an enter button for Google purposes, so it will also automatically try to move on to the next part of the login process. You just haven't entered anything in the field yet. So he reloads the page to prompt you, and guess what? Still no keyboard. Therefore, you need to click OK again for the keyboard to appear and Google to restart. Above. And more. And another result? You can't sign in to Google. You cannot access the Play Store. You cannot get other applications. You can't log into Youtube to get personalized recommendations. You cannot update your applications. You can't do ANYTHING with what is supposed to be a SMART projector other than use it as a projector and run two and a half apps on it that actually work, but who knows how long that will take once the apps are old enough. Edit: Fixed USB wired keyboard issue.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
