[@Harie0]

Nice video, I would have thought more people would have done a video about the android remotes. As for myself I'm not an extreme enthusiast, but when I looked for one awhile ago, I wanted it as a remote and keyboard. I bought an iRainy from Amazon. It is very close to the Minix A2 lite. Difference being a little smaller and USB charged batter, and the keyboard is arranged a little non-standard. It has served me quite well. It is almost good for Windows, but it lacks the ability to reach the task manager which is a MUST. If one of these remotes could light up the buttons, it would be a nice option, even though it would hurt the price/efficiency.

[@dongrimme9257]

I have many of those remotes. My own favorite is the *M1*, mainly because it is so small and lightweight. The only thing I *don't* like is that a long press on the Home/Return key does *not* take me out of an app (e.g., Kodi or a browser) to the Minix home screen. For that - and for typing - I reach for my A2 Lite (which I prefer over the clunkier Rii, albeit an earlier version than yours).

[@Somecooltech1]

Don Grimme I'm with you. I like the small remotes. A lot of time I'm watching the show from bed and I want to be able to use the remote one handed and by feel so the small remotes work best for that.

[@fennec7906]

Do these remotes work with Kodi?

[@piapagente2404]

[@pricelessone100]

I know this is an older post but I am wondering if any of the remotes you reviewed would work with Firestick, (stick, not the box).

[@BrianDorset]

"long battery life" can be relative. Can you say how long is long as it relates to the Remote+? Do you get 3-4 weeks with daily use?

[@KyleRuggles]

Awesome list, thanks man! but who do you keep looking at? :P

[@MXVBison]

Think he has two cameras set up.

[@dancharp]

Got the Remote+ , great air mouse for Kodi. Use it with my Asus Chromebox (converted to Linus/Kodi).

[@Somecooltech1]

dancharp Good work Dan. The remote+ is my main remote too.

[@eladbari]

Great video, Rivers! I end up with a MESS of remotes on my sofa now! Just because each one is better in 1-2 things...I just cant find the sweetspot for a remote to be good in all fields: 1. I have the Remote+ by PROBOX [good for air mouse+voice+long battery life] 2. The bundled MINIX M1 remote [it has a PLAY/PAUSE button which the Remote+ doesnt have and its So important if you wanna pause a video/song etc..]. 3. LENOVO N5902 - [used for my PC at first, its good as a keyboard but sucks as a mouse]. Ahhh...this is driving me crazy, man! Such a clutter of remotes. I wish there was a remote with: Mic [for voice search] + Keyboard + Play/Pause // Back/Next track buttons + Air mouse + Uses AA/AAA batteries. The MINIX A2 Lite should be the closest to fulfill all those needs but I've heard the battery life is horrible! You need to charge it every day. Its pointless, if so. Remotes need to be good for a few weeks before charge..

[@jenovaizquierdo]

Awesome video SomeCoolTech and thanks for the tips about different remote, there is another remote just in case you are interesting that is Mele remote control and tell me what you think about that remote, I have it and the battery is awesome.

[@Somecooltech1]

Jenova Izq Did you see my video comments about he Mele F10? I love it but on mine the range is bad. Maybe i have a defective unit.

[@jenovaizquierdo]

No I didn't saw your video about the Mele F10 I will look for it.

[@SefyFriedman]

SomeCoolTech Hi River! Great video. I watched most of your videos, they really help me decide what's best. I have a question about the Rii mini i28 - how can I know if my TVbox has the driver for it to be used as a game pad? And another thing, I saw you have there the Mele f10 pro. I know it can be used as a 6-axis game pad, but I think it can be used that way only on a Mele TVbox. Do you know if there is a way to use this as such on other devices? There are other remotes like that Mele, like the Mele f10 Deluxe, Measy GP830 or the Minix Neo A2. Do you know if any of those can be used with there audio pl in/out and as a 6-axis controller on other devices? Thanks, keep it up! Sefy

[@Somecooltech1]

Sefy Friedman Hey Sefy, I haven't had good luck with the audio in on remotes working consistently. Gaming is hit and miss too. Id say don't cound on the audio working very well unless you buy an android TV box like The shield console or Fire TV. As for the game controller I like a dedicated controller. The Amazon fire TV controller works really well for me right now. It runs on bluetooth an is a pretty good price. amzn.to/1LBAVoi

[@lawrenceliptak6630]

Hey I was just wondering how you got the android OS on your TV? I wanted to do the same with my new Samsung and was waiting for the Magic Stick to be released but idk when it will be available.

[@CarlosWillis]

i have a Nvidia Shield TV but i have heard that there are compatibility issues with air/gyro controls. i am looking for a remote that has a air/gyro mouse as well as a QWERTY keyboard. Do you know if the Minix A2 Lite will work?

[@arthurbarnes1545]

Okey I need help I have a Vizio Smart TV Qwerty Keyboard Remote it will work my TV and my fire stick but can't get the keyboard on back of remote can you help me out

[@pessimisticpantomath9827]

I want a wireless mini keyboard input device for my TV that I could type with my thumbs. Should I go with the MiniX or the Rii?

[@wewyllenium]

Ahh Yeah! I dig this. Thanks for this review. I'm very interested with that Rii. I want to use it for gaming on my Minix. I was wondering, are the buttons plastic or rubber? CHeers.

[@Somecooltech1]

wewyllenium The buttons are rubber and nice and clicky. A dedicated controller works better but I really like the handling on the Rii for the UI and apps.

[@wewyllenium]

SomeCoolTech I see. I was really hoping that they're made of hard plastic, like on the PS or Xbox controllers. I 'm worried I might wear them out fast if they are rubber. CHeers

[@samlee7343]

I have a remote that always defaults to turning on Air Mouse on the first key press - so I have to turn off Air Mouse before doing anything every time. Do any of the remotes you reviewed allow for changing default on Air Mouse to OFF? Thanks!

[@therealist2000]

Would be great if you could do a review on the FLIRC !

[@jayhernandez6812]

is minix a3 remote is the best remote now also work with any android box or android tv

[@VernonFunk]

SomeCoolTech What system do you have running on your tv in this video? It doesn't look like your Element Ti4 from your other video review.

[@bsofiane8639]

Great video!!!..personally i recommend the tronsmart g62c...it's an all in one remote(voice search,gyro-mouse,keyboard,mini speaker)awesome..;)

[@Nkosi12]

In in TV to o a stop do do with it e wt a GP hi if case g like miss

[@wheelofadeal]

can you calibrate the mini X to work in any direction as long as you calibrate? Like pointed to the left and flip it over and calibrated and it will work from there?

[@MISSGG6]

I would like a voice command remote for my MXQ box can you tell me what is a Universal voice command remote that will work on all the boxes.?

[@Csilva857]

nice video but I think you missed the melee f10 fly mouse all the way to the right. I was looking forward to that one

[@Somecooltech1]

Christian Silva I was going to review it but I tested it and it would only work from about 6th away. I think mine is defective because I've heard lots of good things about it and I think the remote+ uses the same guts as the F10 too. Mele said they would send me one but I don't think its coming anymore.

[@Junbug414]

Nice Video tech connect I really do benefits from your video thanks again keep up the good work and God Bless you

[@Somecooltech1]

+Jose Rodriguez Thanks so much Jose.

[@mlbrown76]

If your android media player supports Bluetooth, the Amazon Fire TV Stick remote is worth taking a look at. Very responsive, simple layout, small, relatively inexpensive, does everything that you need within Kodi. Just hold the home button for about 5 seconds and sync the remote with your unit like you would any other Bluetooth device.

[@Somecooltech1]

mlbrown76 Nice!

[@nayz-]

Any remote that does it all? Keyboard, Voice, Air, Trackpad?

[@menosobota552]

There is a remote control that has a built-in microphone for voice search?

[@Somecooltech1]

+David Šigut There are a couple but none of them really work very well. On the other hand the remotes that come with Android TV and Amazon fire tv have voice search which works really well. I think some better voice remotes are coming in 2016 though.

[@paft]

*Rii mini i28's cons* Dial d-pad. You have to press exactly where the icon is on the dials with needle thumbs or you'll push two keys. Unusable. *MeLE F10 Pro cons* Air mouse works fine but the keyboard lets it down the most. Rubber keys often get stuck. Unusable. So many poorly made devices. However, both updated versions look like they have improved.

[@jurgentreep]

why aren't you looking at the camera?

[@henrooo]

***** seems he's trying to emulate a TV interview shot, but what he doesn't realise is in those shots, there is reverse shot of an interviewer. I agree he should be starring directly at the camera (audience).

[@fuupdaass275]

He has glass eyes

[@abosamo]

hi can u tell me plz wech one is the bast for gaming?

[@inzamamlopa]

what is your android tv box model? runing on your back.

[@JoeGP]

did i miss it or did you forget to talk about the last remote ? the one to the right of the keyboard

[@Somecooltech1]

Joe G.P. That is the Mele F10 . Mine seems to be defective and it would not work form more than about 6 ft away so I left it off. Its supposed to be pretty good though. I've heard lots of good things about it.

[@ChazRose77]

Do you know anything about the mele f10 pro? i have one coming in the mail. i hope its good. Just realized it was on the table but u didnt say anything :/ SomeCoolTech

[@Somecooltech1]

***** I just added some info about the f10 Pro in the comments. If you notice its actually on the table in some of the shots. Check out my comments.

[@hunedali]

Between the M1 and A2 which one would you recommend?

[@Somecooltech1]

+Huned Ali Probably the M1 just because I really like small remotes better. I'm pretty good at using the mouse pointer to type also. I'd consider the remote plus too amzn.to/1upwT7N

[@hunedali]

Thanks!

[@riddle725]

will the minix a2 lite remote work with the amazon fire tv box

[@bladereflection1642]

what software is this guy using on this tv / comp or w/e?

[@bladereflection1642]

Ah okay thanks for the response.

[@Rami-rh6vv]

i have the rii i28, the same one from your video. but i dont know how the air mouse works on it? please explain

[@Somecooltech1]

Rami 67 you hit the orange function key and I think the space bar to toggle mouse mode.

[@mondoger4202]

hi there , can you recommend a player / box / PC for using on TV to watch KZbin and other sides ;-) I wanted a PC , but a few minutes ago I found your channel , so I ask here :)

[@jakerockificatio]

Do any of these air mouse have a 3.5m earphone jack?

[@marcelomandiola2530]

Minix best ?

[@fennec7906]

Do these work with Kodi?

[@xctechs]

awesome video

[@Somecooltech1]

***** Thanks buddy!

[@JPepeLopez1996]

What is the best player overall ?

[@Somecooltech1]

***** The one I use the most on the Minix X8-H Plus is the Remote+ @1 But i really really like the accessory remote for the Shield Console amzn.to/1d2E8P3 To bad it doesn't work with other devices (that I know of).

[@chrisr4815]

Great video!

[@Somecooltech1]

***** Thanks!

[@samvanlooijen9822]

Thanks, really good!

[@ShuvroSikder]

Hi! Can u make a video of Nvidia shield TV

[@Somecooltech1]

Shuvro Sikder OK kzbin.info/www/bejne/maHdZ6KufL-JfJI

[@asmirarapovic2809]

You got f10 MELE on the table?

[@Somecooltech1]

+Asmir Arapovic yes I do but mine only works from like 5 feet away. It might be defective or maybe there is interference in my house. It wasn't working so I didn't include it. Very observant though.

[@lifecracy6510]

Why do you two KZbin app on your tv screen ?

[@phillippradoxyz]

Anyone else notice the "farorite" spelling error.....? no? just me? ok then

[@sjmorrishome]

[@mark_r49]

All of us were being polite!

[@fuupdaass275]

Fuk u is that correct ashol

[@mdshewaz668]

[@kstevenson3504]

I'm a dreaming or is it possible to find a decent remote that is not on your phone that will not take up a USB port?

[@taquanacollins1533]

Nice tv

[@dmzsniper]

Hey, the camera is over here..yo over here. You can do it, look over here.

[@AladdinSaneNYC]

How great and informative your vid are! Bravo, friend. I'm a subscriber too, and glad to be one! Peace...AladdinSaneNYC ♐

[@SuperDuper0805]

First to comment. Good job River. Keep up the good job.

[@Somecooltech1]

Brigada MN Thanks Brigada!

[@ChaaozZ]

Hahah. Can't believe you forgot to talk about the remote in the bottom right corner

[@Somecooltech1]

***** Is it the Mele F10 Pro? Maybe I have a bad unit I tested it and it gave me problems. Check my video coments about the F10 Pro.

[@tacitblue69]

cool

[@cgouais]

I think a wireless mouse is much better than a remote. I found it much easier to navigate!

[@Somecooltech1]

cgouais I agree. When I'm setting up a new AMP I just hook up a mouse and fly like the wind. I have a had time using a mouse when the player is attached to the TV though. For me it's hard to find a flat surface to use the mouse on so I use both depending on the situation.
