Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhanced Xbox 360 Media Remote by Jeff Long

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good remote that still doesn't work perfectly

This remote works very satisfactorily most of the time and learned my Sony TV program quickly and automatically. I've only been using it to control recorded video playback with the media expansion feature on my new Xbox 360 and have only been doing so for a few weeks. but I have used it frequently with many world championship records, Tour de France and other records, and used all or most Media Center features. Compared to an old HP Windows Media Center remote that I have now on standby from an 8 year old HP PC, I prefer the compact and attractive design of this Microsoft remote. I prefer the more prominent control panel/HP control panel, especially the more prominent/raised central execution button. The slim built-in concave design is too error-prone, especially when I press the center instead of the direction. I would also have preferred a more prominent back button and perhaps playback controls, but that's a far secondary preference to the navigation bar. The only glitch I've encountered is that the pause/play button doesn't work consistently on my new remote - it doesn't always respond, especially when fast forwarding, especially after a long forward. In such cases, the video stays on FF for a longer period of time or until the end of the recording. Separate play and pause buttons could be a better design. Everything else works well so far, it deserves four stars and I will definitely keep it because it also looks like it might be the most beautiful remote control out there. I can update my rating and increase my rating if my performance issues are due to inexperience.

Pros
  • Has a polished top case and rubberized buttons with solid feedback when pressed
Cons
  • No
