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 Miguel Yurco

I bought this for my Shield TV Pro because the one I purchased only came with a controller. At first, that was fine, but eventually I consolidated that device into my home entertainment system and controlled the whole thing with a Logitech Harmony Hub. This made controlling the Shield TV simple, with either a standard remote, or my smartphone. In moving things around after various upgrades, the Shield TV now resides in my office/gaming room. That room does not have nor need a Smart Hub, so I'm settling for an old Logitech 550 to control that system. I'm not sure if this remote would be in the Logitech 550's database, given how old it is, so I can't tell you if you just need the dongle and can get rid of the remote, but if I end up finding out that is the case, I'll update my review and let you know. That would be the ideal solution. However, the remote is certainly fine to use, with a solid, well-constructed feel and firm, tactile button presses. That being said, the price difference between these two remotes is large, and my Logitech 550s, while not operating without some issue, are still perfectly usable after well over a decade. Also, that's two extra batteries I don't end up having to swap every year or so. But minor annoyances aside, the product itself is a good one that should work well alongside whatever remote controlled device you're using it with.
