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 Will Rahman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little remote control for my bike.

At first I was surprised that there weren't many of these Bluetooth remote controls. However, this one would probably be the best designed anyway. Pros: Small and compact Aesthetically pleasing features as advertised Cons: Difficult to press the pairing button Steering wheel mount diameter too large for my motorcycle handlebars (not really a complaint as it's not a design, but you'll have something to consider when using a release new model) The device looks good and works as it should. The button on the back, which is a pairing button, is a little hard to press, but other than that I have no legal complaints. I bought it for my motorcycle so I can control my music in my Bluetooth helmet without taking my hands off the wheel. The handlebar mount is amazing and I used it to mount it on the handlebars. My handlebar's diameter is slightly smaller than the handlebar which allowed it to rotate freely so I used thick foam tape to enlarge it and then tapped the base to prevent it from rotating due to the vibration. I think this company would have had more success with this product if they had also targeted motorcycles. I'm not sure how it will hold up in the water but then again I don't plan on riding in the rain. However, if this is the case, I will update. Addendum: I am using this with a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. This product appears as a keyboard on my phone. Works with amazon mp3, slacker radio, iheart radio and google music app. Updated June 4, 2015! So after a few months of use this little guy is still working, I use it a lot and it seems very sturdy. I will update again if it breaks soon. Having said that, I got caught in light to moderate rain a few weeks ago and it held up very well. Also yesterday I was near the beach and in the morning my bike (including the knob) was covered with heavy heavy rope. After driving home today I find it ok as it still works with no flaws. But then again, only time will tell. bottom line? 4 of my buddies have bought it since I got mine and they all love it and so do you. Good job Satechi.

Pros
  • Great design
