Enhanced XRT500 QWERTY Keyboard: Backlit Remote for VIZIO M-Series Smart TVs Review

So I bought some of these as my kids are rather rough on some things. This is the first time the keyboard on the back has only worked a couple of times. I don't usually watch TV and nobody told me it didn't work so I skipped the return window. I try this every time I have a reason and it only worked once or twice. The rest of the remote works great. I made sure I got a remote that said it worked with my model. I suspect it's just a bug, especially since it worked a couple of times. Just make…

I was thinking about unboxing my new Vizio TV and I heard the trash remote buttons bounce and smack against the sides of the trash can . When I looked at it, the buttons literally fell off the old one. A sadder example of 21st century engineering that I have never seen before. That is, unless it was designed to fail. If so, then the original remote control was a technical marvel the likes of which will never be seen again. It's about how you see it. Unfortunately, I didn't watch much because my

Super cool. I didn't have any breakage issues like other reviewers. But I will say that after reading the reviews about how easily they break, I was wary of the remote. Update 11-10-20 I've had this remote for a few months now and haven't had any problems with it so far. QWERTZ is something to live for! If you're using a service that involves searching or even signing up, this remote will net you some loot! I looked inside the rubber remote control case and found that the $15 case costs almost…

Awesome remote, some people don't like push buttons but I prefer that kind of haptic feedback (the main reason I don't update my iPhone without a physical home button). ATTENTION, YOU MUST USE LITHIUM BATTERIES! I put in fresh lye and nothing (you see the keyboard backlight turning on when it turns on). After a little research I found out that some remotes are designed for metal. So at first I thought that I received a marriage from the seller and ordered a replacement, but I was wrong. YOU…

We had one of these when we bought the TV and our 2 year old threw it on the floor so many times it was literally caught in tape. Then my dog peed on him the other day, that's all. The console died a fetid and agonizing death. I decided to buy a new one (obviously) and was excited to see that they are now doing it with a keyboard on the back. (It used to annoy me when I had to type everything on YouTube or our WiFi password with the arrows!). Then the reviews said that the remote easily breaks…

This remote control is actually better than the one that came with my TV. The QWERTY keyboard is a welcome addition and the price is great. The outer plastic has been removed and the batteries have been put in odd places, but I think you should expect to make room for the keyboard on the other side. The only problem is that the outer plastic around the remote that you remove to change the batteries is very easy to damage. One wrong fall and the very thin outer plastic ripped. In fact, this is…

FIX: The down arrow (below the OK button) took exactly 14 days. It now becomes unresponsive and renders the entire remote unusable. Several other buttons now follow the same path. We're again using the Vizio app on our phones as a remote control, which is "PITA" and drains our phones' batteries quickly. If Revain wants to send a replacement I will update my review. First Review: When the remote finally arrived, I put the batteries in and nothing happened. After checking and inserting the…
