Sanyo Infrared Remote control for Projector

Advantages: No software or drivers required, built in mouse, hotkeys, excellent value for money!
Disadvantages: None

...I bought the Shuttle PN31 Infrared Remote for my Dell Dimension 8400 PC running Microsoft XP Home Edition two months ago and love it!! The remote requires no driver CD or software - simply plug the black infrared receiver into a USB port and your PC recognises it straight away as a "human interface device", just as it does a mouse or keyboard. It has a built in mouse which is really easy to use. There are a number of "hot keys" - these are shortcut buttons which allow you to open windows media player, your web browser, start menu, email, favorites, my computer, it even allows you to turn off your computer at the press of a button!!!! It works really well with media player - even if media player is running in the background or minimised, the volume can be adjusted at the touch of a button. I have a Freecom Freeview USB TV...

...I purchased the Nintendo Wii after weeks of searching the internet for a shop that hadnt sold out and once i found one available i bought it immediately. The package came with Wii sports and a remote controller and i have to say that i was quite impressed. The controllers work well with the console and in particular with wii sports. The biggest issue that i have with the remote is the battery issue. Whilst the batteries do last a long time when installed, to keep replacing them costs a fortune. I also have had this problem with my xbox 360 wireless controllers and would recommend anybody who was buying the controllers to also consider a quick charge kit to accompany it. The unit is very responsive and works very well, this depends on where you put the sensor that is supplied with the wii so make sure that you read the manual carefully... Read review
