Rii Mini i25 Multifunction Portable 3 in 1 2.4GHz Wireless Fly Mouse Keyboard and Remote Control with Rechargeable Li-ion Battery for PC, Laptops, Linux, Android Tv Boxs, Windows, Windows, IPTV

It works best with a PC, it allows one side of the remote to work at a time based on which side is facing up, the air mouse works fine with a little bit of lag but nothing too bad, as with any keyboard check your language if you want the symbols to relate to what you are actually typing. It works on a fire stick but some of the keyboard features that work really well on PC do not work there

The remote came out the box with a charge and it was basically plug and play into my pc. I tested the mouse feature and it is basically what a wii remote is in how it functions. Their aren't as many programmable buttons at the top as I would like; the ones above the circle "ok" are programmable with my tv remote. For those that don't understand the instructions on how to program the buttons; first you need this remote and your current tv remote. Then, turn on the remote with the switch on the side and hold down one of the orange programmable buttons (which their are only 5), after holding it down for a bit, the blue light on the remote will have a red/purple light turn on next to it, then take your current remote and point it towards the receiver of this remote and press the button on your remote that you want this remote to mimic. You will know if it was successful if you see the red light flash for a second and then disappear. So if you want it to mimic the power button on your remote, press the power button on your current remote pointing the receivers at each other and it will now take on that function. I do like the color with the accent orange but it does not have a backlight in any of the buttons. So, if you are trying to use it in the dark to say turn on your tv, then it will take some memorizing or turning the light on. I really wish that their were like an extra 2 buttons that are programmable. Currently I would like to have the ability to go up, down, left, right on my tv with this remote, but sadly their are only 2 arrows. The left click for the pc is the "OK" in the middle circle, and the right click is the back arrow below that above the mouse activator button. Another gripe I have is that their is no windows button or something of the sort. There are 2 "alt" buttons which I believe do the same thing, with one having a "www" secondary function and the other one having the tilde key secondary. I would rather press w 3 times rather that have a dedicated key for it, and that button can be replaced with the windows key or a button like the windows key for any non-windows users. For my needs, I have tested it to work at least up to 10 ft without connectivity issues although it probably can work further, I have not tested longer distances. The build quality of the remote is quite sturdy,, it passes the bend test like what JerryRigEverything does on phones. It is pretty rigid in construction and is probably a teeny bit bigger than a modern tv remote. It is a downside that it is micro-B cable to charge it when we are progressing over to usb-c everything. but that might be a future upgrade that will take place. All around a pretty good buy for $20, its a good mouse/keyboard/remote combo, that is effective at its job and is arguably better than any mini portable touchpad/keyboard combo.

Best remote ever! TV: Samsung Crystal UHD CU7000 (no voice function). Replaced my Samsung one remote, which is known to have defective and unresponsive buttons plus no keyboard. The Rii mini plugged right in to the USB port (2.4ghz dongle) and was instantly responsive. The keyboard worked perfectly too! Didn't even need to buy a Bluetooth remote. The power button and the screen button were swapped initially but thanks to IR learning I just used the crappy old remote to train the new one to use the power button for power function (held power on it 8 secs then when new remote turn orange, press power on old remote until it turns blue on new one) Then I reprogrammed the screen button on top to Netflix, pure win! 10/10 best remote I've ever owned- I've even literally used a Bluetooth keyboard for this TV which is probably the second best remote ever owned. But this one doesn't make guests panic!

They used to be good, so I bought more. The newer ones are clearly cheaper and corners have been cut. You can tell right away that they're much lighter, implying perhaps a smaller battery or remove components. They have some kind of weird battery saving feature, such that it sort of just shuts off when you're not using it. So you press a button, and nothing happens, and you have to wait a couple seconds for it to reconnect so you can try to press the button again. quite obnoxious. Even with the battery saving feature, the battery doesn't last. The older model never died on me. Every few months or so I would think to myself " I should charge it", but I never actually saw the battery die. These newer ones last less than a week. The virtual mouse is just kind of screwed up. Half the time when you activate it, it moves in the opposite direction of where you point the control. You sort of just have to mess with it for a bit until it corrects itself. This didn't happen on the older model.

I bought this to use with Kodi and nextPVR installed on my HTPC. The Top 5 orange buttons are programmable IR buttons, they learn the codes of an existing controller you have. No way as far as I can tell to program them manually, so if you don’t have the original remote you want to copy, you are out of luck. I programmed them to turn on and off my Sony Bravia TV, as well as change the input and volume. While this works, the RII remote IR blaster is significantly weaker than the original Sony remote. I have trouble from 12 feet away using it, have to reach way out and press multiple times. Seems to work OK from about half that distance, so I will usually turn on the TV, change the input, and adjust the volume before going to go sit down. Otherwise, I’ll just use the original remote. These are the other 2.4 Ghz buttons that communicate with the PC on the front of the remote: Direction wheel: same as keyboard direction arrows OK button, left mouse click (if air mouse is turned on) or keyboard enter key (if air mouse is off) PgUp/PgDn: same as Page Up/Down keys on keyboard App list: same as app list on keyboard (key usually to left of right control key, looks like arrow pointing to menu list) Power button: same as sleep button on computer or keyboard Remaining 9 buttons are standard keyboard multimedia buttons: APPCOMMAND_BROWSER_BACKWARD = 1 (or right click if air mouse turned on) APPCOMMAND_BROWSER_SEARCH = 5 APPCOMMAND_BROWSER_HOME = 7 APPCOMMAND_VOLUME_MUTE = 8 APPCOMMAND_VOLUME_DOWN = 9 APPCOMMAND_VOLUME_UP = 10 APPCOMMAND_MEDIA_NEXTTRACK = 11 APPCOMMAND_MEDIA_PREVIOUSTRACK = 12 APPCOMMAND_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE = 14 In Kodi when watching a recording the next track button does nothing, and the previous track starts the video from the beginning. I would rather have those buttons fast forward and rewind in Kodi, below is what I did to get that to work: Use the Kodi Keymap Editor Add-on (installed from repository): Settings->Add-ons->Program add-ons->Keymap Editor->Run->Edit->Global->Playback->Fast Forward/Rewind->Edit Key (then press the RII remoter next/previous track key to map) Cancel back to main Keymap Editor window then click Save or edit (or create) the below file: %APPDATA%\Kodi\userdata\gen.xml <keymap><global><keyboard><key id="53259">fastforward</key><key id="53260">rewind</key></keyboard></global></keymap> The home button launches the default web browser, and the search button brings up the Windows search box. I wanted the home button to launch Kodi, and the search button to launch Google chrome. Below are the registry changes I made on Windows to make that work: To change the multimedia Home button to launch Kodi vice open default Web browser, add/edit below registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\7] Name Type Data ShellExecute REG_SZ "C:\Program Files\Kodi\Kodi.exe" To change the multimedia Search button to launch Google Chrome vice open Windows search box, add/edit below registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\5] Name Type Data ShellExecute REG_SZ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" Also, if I accidently pressed the sleep button it would cause problems in Kodi. I couldn’t find any way to use that key for something else, so I disabled it: To disable the sleep button on the controller: Control Panel->Power Options->Choose what the power buttons do->When I press the sleep button->Do nothing As far as the remote itself, it seems to work well. There is no backlight (one of the few reviews with pics clearly shows it having a backlight). The thing I don’t like the most about the remote is that it goes to sleep after 2 minutes. This is extremely annoying since you have to press a button to wake it up, then press the button again to get it to do something. I have a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, and I keep them on all the time. The batteries in the keyboard last for several years and the ones in the mouse several months. Maybe they could just make the mouse go to sleep, and if you press a key wake up then actually send the keystroke. Would be nice if you could change the sleep timeout or even disable it. Also, would have been nice if they included software to reprogram the buttons, that way you don’t have to worry about trying to figure out a way to do it in an app or edit the registry. Pros: - Can do everything you need to operate Kodi including turning on the TV - Rechargeable batteries and included USB cable Cons: - No software to customize what buttons do - Annoying sleep timer - No backlight - Weak IR transmitter

I tried some other similar "air mouse" remotes with keyboards, and this one is by far the best. It's not perfect, but it does 95% of what a full keyboard and mouse can do, the battery lasts forever, and it's so easy to use, I can hand it to houseguests with almost no explanation and they figure out how it works. Here are the few small things I wish worked better: - Missing functions: There is no "Windows" button, no scroll-wheel equivalent, and you can't "Ctrl-click" - No backlight. In a dark room, it's hard to see the button markings, especially the red "function" markings which you need to use numbers and some punctuation. - The IR blaster is not that strong. It can learn to control infrared remote devices like the TV, but you have to make sure it's pointed straight at the sensor, and even then sometimes it takes a couple of button presses Regardless, I would buy this again when this one dies, unless there is an updated model. I've had it about a year and a half, and it's working just as well now as when it was new.

I have recently switched my appletv out for a mini PC and turned that into my streaming machine. This remote was one of the first ones that popped up and I purchased it on impulse, I'm really glad that I did too! Some of the reviews here are concerning but they seem to be nothing that you have to worry about. If you're using Kodi as an interface for your streaming apps this remote will be perfect for you. The dpad (navigation buttons) work over the USB adapter just like you'd expect a normal remote to behave. The mouse takes getting used too but it's definitely come in handy and made surfing the web a breeze. Just so you know .. you don't have to use the charger cable to plug this dongle in you can insert it directly to any USB port you'd like. All in all , I highly recommend this product. Spec's: os:Linux mint. Model: acemagic s1, n97 CPU. Controlled through xrdp/ssh/ this remote. Good luck

Ok first the good part - nice remote, buttons are good, media control and full querty keyboard, as advertised. Build quality is better than other air mouse remotes in this price range. But the battery lasts less than a week after a full charge, and I feel like it's quickly degrading with each recharge. This is with the remote going into sleep mode every few minutes of unuse, apparently to save battery. The problem with that is that waking up takes a good second or two. So if a loud scene suddenly comes up and you need to mute it, the first couple button presses will wake the remote, no effect on volume. Then the volume will go quite after couple of seconds. This problem exists with all of the buttons, not just volume or mute. Additionally I've found that if the air mouse is active, the arrow buttons don't work which is also a bummer. Anyways, this remote had promise, but it's a bit of a disappointment.
