Perfect For Nvidia Shield

If you're an Nvidia Shield user, you know how awful its remote is. This low-priced device is what Nvidia should have included with its brilliant set-top box instead of that minimalist abomination the company has foisted upon its users.This unit has everything you need to control the Shield. Its surprise coolness is its mouse control, where you push a button and a cursor appears on the screen. Whoa, I didn't expect to like this feature so much! It's like magic to move the cursor around the screen by simply pointing the remote where you want it to go.The remote itself is cheap plastic and too light to seem substantial enough. Besides that it works well. Its radio-controlled (not the flaky infrared) signal doesn't require you to point the device at the receiver at all. Its mute control (the most important button on the remote if you're watching commercial TV) is conveniently situated at the top right, just where I like it.I was a bit worried when I received this unit -- there was something loose rattling around in the box and it sounded like a piece of it had broken off. But not to worry -- that was the USB receiver, which was carelessly placed into the box with no wrapping. But that didn't end up mattering at all, because to make the remote work, all I had to do was plug this USB receiver into my device, and it just worked. Bravo! Worth every penny.
