WeChip W1 vs WeChip W2 | Best Airmouse Remote

[@FreeTech]

I also forgot to mention. Both have IR learning capabilities which I have done a video on this using the WeChip W1 remote. 1 more thing when using these remotes with Chinese Android Boxes sometimes the back button doesn't seem to work. Making the Home Button essential.

Are they Bluetooth remote controls ?

Thanks for respond to my question. Right now I found the Bluetooth CR3 it may work better than this one for me 😀

[@capblack7367]

@@elmundodestreaming9952 your welcome, but be very careful, as a lot of remotes say bluetooth, but it still has a Bluetooth dongle, so defeats point of being really Bluetooth remote 👍🏻👍🏻

[@adrielortega2]

Hey boss big time fan of your work here, it's truly saved my life especially durring these crazy times. So I just got the w2 and realized that when you hold the back button it becomes a home button. Hope this helps. cheers mate.

[@SVGNATION]

I actually purchased the W1 primarily for my PC, since it is hooked up to my living room tv. It’s way more convenient than the Bluetooth keyboard I was using prior. Just mentioning this because you said in your video you didn’t know why someone would use this for their PC.

[@veve339]

Does the right-click button work properly for you? For me, it doesn't recognize the pointer on the screen so it opens an unwanted menu.

[@Larimuss]

Yeah I've used mi mix for Android on pc and it's good for media on pc

[@SVGNATION]

@@veve339 yes, it works fine for me. Sorry it took me so long to respond. Just saw this. Wish we got audible notifications for KZbin messages

[@KingCyrus96]

*FOR NVIDIA SHIELD TV USERS* I'd just like to say that the back button on the W2 air mouse actually doubles as a Home/Return home button. I accidentally stumbled across this today. If you long press the back button it takes you home. This is an ideal remote for Shield TV users. I can't rate it highly enough. You may want to try this with your other android devices as it may be the same. Cheers

[@RoshanDrummer]

Can you turn off the shield to standby mode if the tv does not support HDMI-CEC?

[@Wayleran]

The W2 is the better hands down. You just need to LONG PRESS THE BACK BUTTON TO GO HOME! You get a better device with VOICE CONTROL and more functionality on the keyboard and simply needed to read the features to find out about the long press HOME option... Please update this video with at least a text overlay about this so people don't waste money on the W1 anymore.

[@Humble452]

some peopel including myself would rather get W1 without someone hearing everything we say with the voice control, I would get w2 if it did NOT have voice control, but like he said its all personal preference, some are ok with devices hearing everything

[@OfficiallyTonyGianni]

on the W2 to use the HOME key you press the RETURN key for a few seconds and it goes to home.

[@zozihn8047]

It should be noted that some people do use Air Mice on PC for head tracking or minimal movement with RSI etc. Head tracking by velcroing an air mouse to the top band of a headset or the top of a hat. It's a super budget setup you see sometimes in the flight sim community.

[@tonip73]

I have the W1 and use it with my Nvidia shield. I absolutely love it!

[@johncarr6073]

Sadly no voice control.

[@megawattti]

I use the W1and 3 other types, I agree the home button is essential

[@michaelbonner7129]

I have W1 & the only thing I don't like is the Volume Buttons are too close to the back button,& I Press the Back button by Mistake.A poor design. I may try the W2,though, & thanks for the Review. it's good to know someone across the Water likes some of the same Tech !

[@charleschamp9826]

If there's ever a W3 hopefully they include all features from W1, W2, and add more features.

[@brianday52]

I've ordered the WeChip W1 remote Adam, (coming tomorrow) along with the UGREEN USB 3.0 Hub Ethernet Adapter and the CentBest Micro USB Splitter Cable OTG Power Enhancer Cord following your previous video........hoping these gadgets will enhance my recently purchased Fire TV Stick 4K Ultra HD......which is AWESOME :) Many thanks

[@Kimmyj30]

I always try to find vids of your for new tech. My 1st gen firestick remote crapped out out the blue, and the second one was hardly touched and crapped out. I didn't want to waste money, so I'm glad I found this.

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome review brother ADAM. Much appreciated. Keep the videos coming. Hope you are staying safe and enjoying your weekend. Much love bro

[@FreeTech]

Cheers Timmy. I hope you're well brother. Stay safe bud!

[@wildtramper3132]

I have the W1 as having a home button is a must for me. The power & volume buttons don’t work, but as I bought it for the keyboard & air mouse, it does everything I need.

[@jefjefg]

I just bought the W1 to hook up to my Android TV Box and I really love it and I agree that the home button is an important button to have. This was a breeze t8 ho8k u9 and next I'll be customizing a few button functions from my original remote. Thanks for the video and have a super day.

[@RoshanDrummer]

Can you turn off the android box to standby if the power button is IR mapped to turn off the tv and the tv does not support HDMI CEC?

[@muhammadbilalb7636]

Dear you can press the back button for few seconds to go back to Home.. so it means new version has Home button. I have bought and tested myself.

[@andycooper4347]

I use the W1. I think its the best I've ever had. The sound works perfect. I always turn the TV remote up too loud, then tune it lower using the W1. Letscrackon

[@bryanparker5310]

Got both but use the W2, it’s a far better remote than the W1. Used button mapper to get a Home button. Never used the on/off switch or the lost remote signal.

[@FreeTech]

I love the design of the W2 I just hate how they got rid of the home button. Many people won't want the hassle of adding button mapper either. I agree though, cracking remote.

[@robobrien9041]

I have the W1...on a android box.. and love it ...

[@watthefook]

So I use the w1 and I use it on my PC. My PC is connected to my TV as a 3rd monitor and Its easier to use than having to move my mouse/keyboard from my desk to couch when I wanna watch something. Everything works fine except my back key is another menu key lol as for the home button you don't like thats missing, The remote has a learn function, if u have both remotes couldnt you teach the home button to the w2? Provided you dont use the mic button,Just teach it to that.

[@Richiecandylover]

I have the W1 and I had so many issues with the remote not responding and the light staying on (or flashing) so I use a Fire TV remote with my Nvidia Shield TV (I don’t like the Nvidia remote as it uses coin batteries) - unless I had a dodgy W1

[@paulmassey2573]

Hi m8 great video as usual.I use the W1 after watching your video about and it's brilliantWhen I used it with 4k firestick the volume worked on TV.I now have a beelink GT1 mini 2 box and the volume works on the box.Used button mapper for back button cheers m8

[@FreeTech]

Button mapper really comes in handy for these remotes right?

[@paulmassey2573]

Button mapper is a brilliant app m8.A back light would have been a brilliant addition. I've found 7n the last few weeks that q key doesn't work.Have you or anyone one else had this problem.Its a pain trying to search for Queen or Queer as Folk LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

[@pearlygates12]

The Power button works the W1 has IR Learning u can program the main power button to turn on and turn off ur android tv box

[@briancator5182]

I have a w1 for the loss of my firestick remote. wish it had a back light., other than that it's sound

[@FreeTech]

Very good point. A back lit Keyboard would cover all bases.

[@AGreaterAmerica]

Ditto. W1 for my fire stick 4k. AND, a backlight would be MUCH better.

[@voyager4328]

Sorry Adam, don't have any of them, a bit on the pricey side... imo, I use the MX3 backlit air remote, much cheaper as well....

[@tranzhuman]

The W2 does have a home button : Fn and left direction = home and it works. However it is absolutely impractical to turn the remote over to do this so I am using Button Mapper too. Another feature missing is that there is no light to indicate the remote is charging or fully charged.

[@BorderlandVideo]

Hi buddy. I have the W1 and i love it and just waiting on the W2 getting delivered. P.S I decided to upgrade my old Leelbox Q3 and treated myself to the Beelink GT Pro, definitely not disappointed. Great build, great everything lol. Thanks for all your reviews, oh and jokes lmao. Keep up the good work buddy.

[@loloschannel2195]

So funny fella. I use the w1,i am happy with it. home button is a must,can’t believe they haven’t added it, apps crash all the time.

Cheers as always big guy great vid as usual from your good self. I've actually bought the Pro version of the 2 & that does come with a dedicated home button so for a couple of quid (literally) extra you'll get that or for the tight arsed amongst us you can of course just long press the back button to get to home & use that saving to get, oh I dunno 2 mars bars or whatever takes your fancy in the pound shop 😉👍

[@bushgreen260]

*How can they not add a home button on the w2. What a stupid thing to do. I know you can long press the back button to go home but it would be better to have a dedicated home button to just tap. It's annoying to long press back button every time to go home.*

[@walton905]

I have had the w1 for a week now and I love it. I didn't know about the hold down on the center button for the scrolling feature I will try that thanks. It is easy to learn the buttons for the volume I also had to learn it for the center buttons to use without the air mouse. I agree about the home button I use spotify and if I had to back out every time that would suck lol. I would highly recommend one of these remotes thanks for the awesome review.

[@scrobster3590]

I have a W1 after seeing it on here. The only thing I don't like is the tiny thin volume buttons! I wouldn't buy the 2 without the home button but love the extra functions.

[@mrpugster]

Why do most Android TV builds / launchers refuse to add home, back, restart and shutdown button commands on the gui? Would solve a lot of headaches. I know you can 3rd party apps but not all work, root issues etc.

[@donaldmende4222]

Why can't you just say "home" on the W2 version?

Hello my friend, I want to know which one is the best in terms of manufacturing and compatibility with all devices so that it works without problems Q40 air mouse Or Wechip w2 pro And I hope for a quick answer to the question, thank you

[@petrussternegard5440]

After doing my research including your videos (thanks!) I bought the backlit version of the W2 from AliExpress (sometimes called W2 Pro or Vontar Q40) . Not quite as good looking as it is white and grey but has got the home button. Only had for a day but really like it so far, pad is a bit fiddly. One big gripe for me though is that I programmed all the IR learning for the TV only to find that once the dongle was put in the Android box, you can't use the IR anymore (apart from power) . Including when the Android box is in standby. Id rather have dedicated IR buttons or even better, a switch to choose IR or Bluetooth.

[@johncarr6073]

Why oh why can't I find a remote for the Nvidia shield 2019 that has IR learning for volume (to work my Yamaha receiver), a voice button that works right, and all the other regular functions operate correctly? It seems every remote is missing one essential feature. The included Shield remote does all of this , but that tiny low profile d-pad makes navigation/selection mistakes constant.

[@DaveHaynie]

I've got the W1, and it's connected to one of my PCs. Why? This is out in my "he-shed" (aka, man-cave), where I have my home office as well. The home office PC has two monitors, one of which goes through a splitter/downconverter, so I can send that second screen to both a 1080p monitor and my 55" 4K TV at the same time over HDMI. So while I have a Shield Pro and an HTPC on that TV as well, if I want to use the big PC as a media player, I can control it from the couch with this. The W1 is a bit awkward for any extended keyboarding anyway -- I have a different wireless remote for the HTPC with a bit more capable keyboard. Though not the cool air mouse feature.

[@carlostoro9949]
