Review on πŸ“± Gimibox W1 Wireless Remote Control Keyboard for Android TV Box/PC/Smart TV/Projector/HTPC/All-in-one PC/TV by John Butler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works.-ish - Computers & Accessories

1. There MUST be a dongle attached2. For AndroidTV you need a button mapper to change some buttons. Ie: backwards default to Escape etc.3. The power button is IR only and cannot be programmed to work like the power button on an Android4 remote. I suspect the remote is trying to save power by going to sleep for a few seconds after each use. sometimes it takes two clicks. The volume buttons are small. not raised. and touching the Back and Menu buttons. You'll find yourself leaving the show about 1/3 of the time if you try to turn up the volume. No voice function6. The on-screen keyboard is not displayed when this unit is connected. However, the remote control is stylish. lies very well in the hand, the keyboard works well. If it wasn't bad, it would be great.
