GREAT little gadget

This review is for the ES02-USB, Wireless Remote version. This is a great little gadget. I bought it a while ago and was about to install it - wish I hadn't waited. This is an old-school RF remote control - just like your car's remote control. Nothing to connect, nothing to damage, no drivers to install and it will never let you down. It works like a real switch. It only requires USB power - no drivers to install, no pairing apps or anything like that. The remote works fine every time as long…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models

It works! It's a pain to install!

So, first things first. Drop the instructions. They are awful and not worth the ink wasted in printing. SilverStone chose to enlarge the pin connections and they didn't use a high-resolution image, so everything is blurry and distorted in the manual that comes with it. You can actually google for a clear image and use that instead of the wasteful kindling they threw in the box. (Maybe extra padding?) Once you figure out the right pins, the installation gets SLOW. If anything, it's a five minute

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged

Should now be an updated model. No longer lose the pairing in case of power failure!

I got one of these about 9 months ago and it worked fine but it was annoying that it lost pairing with the remote when the USB power was turned off (and that anyway all he uses is USB). This way I no longer have to use the USB rechargeable battery built into this module to keep it paired with the remote control if the power goes out (or the motherboard disconnects) as was previously required. So I think Silverstone must have taken the feedback and changed the pairing to non-volatile memory…

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
