Review on Black WeChip R2 Air Remote With Voice And Backlit Keyboard - 2.4G Wireless For Android TV Box, PC, Projector, And HTPC (Not Compatible With Smart TV) by Stephen Hobbs

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great idea, quality does not last

I bought 3 of these to replace the super-thin 2017 NVIDIA Shield remotes we have around the house. Initially things were awesome. I thought the gyro control for bringing up an on-screen mouse was a very neat feature.Less than a year later, however, ALL THREE are now prone to double-pressing. You hit up/left/down/right/select and it transmits a double-press about 30% of the time. Navigation through on-screen menus is now very annoying where you are constantly overshooting. Software debouncing / better mechanicals seem to be needed here unfortunately. Too bad. Otherwise, it was a great remote.

Pros
  • 1 Lithium Polymer batteries required. (included)
Cons
  • The remote is clunky and not very ergonomic
