This PC remote control is a plug and play device connected via an infra-red port. It comes with an infra-red dongle which is connected to the PC. You have a total of 38 keys including the huge mouse trackball in the middle. These keys include a mobile phone- like alphanumeric section, the multimedia operating section, and then the short-cuts on the top.

The range is good although it was not functioning as expected once I cross the 15 feet mark. The buttons are firm and give good feedback. The trackball is a little less responsive than I would’ve liked but nothing serious. The two AAA batteries lasted me for over two weeks now. There is one problem – I can’t change the default application associated with the keys, for example, I can’t open Thunderbird instead of outlook by pressing the email key (I use both the apps configured same). Another setback is the alphanumeric keypad – it takes a little used to because of the extra-elevated rubber keys.
