Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The cube needs a usb mini to usb converter for the dongle. Air mouse and mic both work fine too.

In moving things around after various upgrades, the shield tv now resides in my office/gaming room. Works great with our nvidia shield with one exception.



Cons

This remote is not perfect and heres why. The paper it is printed on is tiny and the print is so small i could not even read it with a magnifying glass. I'm sure i'll revisit the idea, but this bad piece of tech put me off.

New version of remote frustrates full time. Sometimes the mic works, sometimes it doesn't. Resetting, reinstalling didn't not resolve it.

Same thing with every keystroke. Less than a year later, however, all three are now prone to double-pressing. Lastly the keyboard function on the underside as you use the remote for navigation feels super awkward in your hands.

I think the remote had been returned and restocked since some of it's packing was missing. I use a freight forwarder to the caribbean, so returns are near impossible for me. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.

This one is much nicer, the buttons have a great feel, the performance is flawless.


The original used to have a delay and then just stopped working.


This is probably my 3rd or 4th one of these and each time it's because i have misplaced the original remote or are unable to pair a device.

Price


And good price and very good quality


Hard to complain with the price, but i wish the shape of the remote was a bit sculpted to make it nicer to handle and be less w...  Read More

Competitiveness


This is better than the original remote that came with 2017 nvidia shield tv.


That being said, the price difference between these two remotes is large, and my logitech 550s, while not operating without som...  Read More

    Then i turned it off or at least i meant to do that by pressing the red off button and it turned off my computer and tv and might have opened to neighbors garage door

    I was startled then a bit miffed because starting everything back up is a challenge then i went to turn it off and realized i didnt know how for sure


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It runs on internal rechargeable batteries so i couldnt take the batteries out so i took it far out of the house and stashed it in the truck awaiting return authorization


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im going to find a different way to do what i wanted to do i hate it when a gadget ends up being scary instead of useful


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Documentation is poor to nonexisting


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Key programming appears to be limited to the power button and the functionality is questionable but you shouldnt really need it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In conclusion if dont require a keyboard on your remote this may be the perfect remote for your nvidia shield
