MX3 Pro Mini Keyboard Backlight Fly Remote Mouse,Android TV Remote Control,IR Learning Mini Wireless Keyboard for Android TV Box.HTPC.IPTV,Networked Set-top Box,Mini PC(Battery not Included)

I bought (and then got 2 additional through Amazon Vine) the MX3 Pro Remote to use with my Home Theater PC, in particular, I needed a remote that would work with Plex, turn my 2016 Samsung TV on/off, and change inputs/volume of my surround sound system. The MX3 Pro did everything I needed it to with ease. I was able to set everything up in about 20 minutes after opening the box, and that included reading the instructions and playing with all the different buttons.I was able to set the power button to turn off/on the TV, and the four customizable color buttons at the bottom of the remote worked flawlessly for my surround sound. For my use case, I use 2 of the buttons for volume, one for power, and the other as a source/input button.For Plex users, many of the other remotes and controllers have syncing issues with Plex HTPC that cause errors or are ignored by Plex HTPC altogether, looking at you Xbox controller users, BUT this remote worked on Plex right out of the box with no setup once so ever!For the first time since using Plex HTPC my partner can also just grab the remote and use our living room TV without getting confused by the 3 different remotes and unique start-up procedures that we once had to deal with. The remote is so easy to use that even a child could use my complex Plex HTPC setup. This took my clunky niche hobby and made it approachable for anyone who comes over to use my home theater for only $10??? How did I not know about this until now?Next, the buttons themselves. The illuminated back lights also make all the difference in our dark living room "theater". Even better, it only illuminates the side that is face up and only after you press a button, so it saves on battery life while still being ready to use at any moment. My stock surround sound remote has almost 50 buttons on it and none of them are illuminated. Finding the right one in the dark has been a problem since we bought it, but thanks to the MX3 Pro, there's no more fumbling in the dark. It was not uncommon in the past for me to try to turn the sound up and accidentally change inputs or other settings, much to the chagrin of my partner.I also love being able to flip the remote over and quickly type in search bars. The navigational layout also feels natural and easy to use. You have to press the buttons quite firmly for them to register. I believe this was intentional so you don't accidentally hit buttons. Additionally, I noticed the buttons on the upright side are the only ones that work, so you can't accidentally hit the buttons on the bottom of the remote when trying to use it.The only con is the range of the air mouse function. It works great from about 10 feet away, but beyond that, it’s very jumpy and difficult to use. I will likely only use this feature occasionally, so it is not a big deal to me, but if you are picturing yourself lying in bed with a TV on the other side of the room, I don't think you will be satisfied with it. There is a button on the remote if you want to disable it so the cursor isn't scrolling all over the screen. I did try using a USB port extension and mounting the dongle on top of the TV, which helped significantly, but a cable did not come with the kit, and I don't think this would be done in a typical install.All in all, I’d highly recommend this remote for anyone trying to get a smoother experience out of their Home Theater PC. The only thing I would change is a longer-range antenna for the USB dongle so the Air Mouse works better and I'd love even more of the programmable buttons.For the price, you really can’t beat it. I am legitimately surprised this remote is only $10.

This remote works amazing for the asking price! I am very happy with this for my Home Theater PC.The 6-axis gyro is a bit finnicky for fine adjustments but otherwise works seemlessly - Brings me back to the days of the Wii remote. It's a lot of fun to use!My one issue is I have a Samsung TV and I did not see a disclaimer before purchasing, but there is one in the manual. The RGBY and Power buttons are reprogrammable to match my remote's functionality but is severly limited requiring I use the original remote and this one as these are the only buttons that are remapable.

this remote overall is easy to use, plug the receiver into the usb port and put a couple batteries in the remote and it hooks right up. wish it had more than three programmable buttons for the tv portion of it, but i guess being able to program three buttons to the tv is a bonus in itself. keyboards and remote controls both alike do not have a long life expectancy in my shop, but i feel this one will last longer than most. it fits well in my hand, the only draw back i have found is when the back light is on i cannot read the special characters on the buttons on the key board side and the button to control the back light is on the "remote" side of the controller. so if im entering in an email and its not light enough in my office i have to flip the controller back over to hit the button to turn the back light off so i can find the "@" symbol. overall it functions well and does what it is supposed to. for the money, cant complain.

First things first: everything they say in the product description is correct; the device works as described, and is usable as both mouse and keyboard from the couch. The mouse cursor tracking is as good as (if not better than) the Wii remote, but uses only gyroscopes and accelerometers without the need for setup or any external hardware. The precision is sufficient to us the on-screen keyboard comfortably in Windows; in fact, I'm typing this review that way.The layout is well thought-out; and the option to stop/resume cursor tracking with a single button allows you to always have a comfortable wrist angle and avoid fatigue, as the remote does not have to point at the cursor. The motion is relative, as with a regular mouse. And if it drifts away too far, getting it back is as easy as lifting the mouse from the pad while moving it.The keyboard is good, and the backlight is welcome. My only wish is that it had a Ctrl/Alt/Shift buttons. Instead, there's Caps Lock. Not that much difference for typing, but some keyboard shortcuts are unavailable - notably, Alt+Shift to switch input languages.If I could have a wish, it'd be for a more standard keyboard. And maybe a scroll wheel.Conveniently placed PgUp/PgDn buttons do make up for it though.The remote knows which side is up, and disables the other side.It's so fun and comfortable to use, I forget I'm using it - I can focus solely on whatever I'm doing on the screen. That's the first time I'm feeling this comfortable using a PC from the couch.

The MX3 Pro is my second air mouse - I had another brand I got several years ago that was handy but had issues. The keyboard was plagued with repeating letters when the key was only pressed once, and the buttons were mushy,This MX3 Pro has none of those issues! The keyboard works perfectly, the air mouse works perfectly, and the buttons are clicky and feel good. I like it so much I bought 3 more of them for all my TVs. I am using it with Linux (Ubuntu) installed on miniPCs which I have connected to my TVs via HDMI. Jellyfin is installed on the miniPCs and the air mouse controls both Ubuntu and the Jellyfin server and clients (for watching OTA TV, streaming, or my media library off an external drive).I am really impressed with this air mouse and frankly there isn't a single improvement I can think of. It even has a backlight.
