Review on πŸ”˜ Satechi Bluetooth Media Button with Steering Wheel Mount - Compatible with iPad Pro, iPad Air, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPhone 12 - User-Friendly Controls for Convenient Access by Corey Owens

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works great as intended for my Samsung S9. Literally a lifesaver!

Small, slim and well designed. Due to the setup of my car, I mount my phone on a window mount and it's a bit out of reach while driving. It's too dangerous for me to keep reaching for it just to change the song. This solved that problem. It came with a small lanyard for a pendant/necklace which is always a nice feature although I don't need it. The steering wheel is great. My only concern is the lack of a strap to secure the open end. I think it's entirely possible to throw it off the handlebars and out the window in the right circumstances, but overall it has a very solid grip. Once you position it correctly, it appears to be a much smaller obstacle. I chose to position it right next to where I hold the wheel the most so it's very easy to reach with my thumb and I don't have to take my hands off the wheel. Due to the simplicity of the product, even though I'm right-handed, left-handers can use it. It's worth nothing. Packaging and instructions are great too. It doesn't take much to think about design in general and Satechi takes as much pride in their box design as they do in their product, and it shows. It's just a small bluetooth controller. I can't necessarily say I think it's worth 30, even though it works great, but in the sea of complete junk that Revain is right now, it stands out from the rest. So in that case I think it's a good buy. As a side note, I didn't encounter the keyboard issue and couldn't type while using it. I've texted, looked at the address, messaged people on Instagram, all with no problems. Maybe try to toggle the system keyboard if you encounter an error. I didn't have to do anything. When desyncing, it takes no more than 10 seconds to reconnect. If you can't wait 10 seconds, consider buying a bluetooth remote again.

  • Delivery was very fast
