    "It makes me sad, In therory it was everything i wanted"

    by dpcassil on December 3, 2009

    Pros: Bluetooth, couch usable mouse (sort of), clamshell design (almost) really other than bluetooth all of the pros are almost pros. ( like they would be pros is they were implemented with more care and thought)

    Cons: Size (i know i know its suposed to be small but if you get one it will be about 50% smaller than you were thinking)
    Faulty down button (seems to be more than just mine per other reviews)
    glitch-tastic (sometimes it hangs, some times it doesnt work)

    Summary: I really really wanted this to work, I had very small and very realistic expectations. I have a media pc connected to my TV, all this remote had to do was work with hulu desktop, XBMC, and on ocasion surf the web. In short it didnt do this.
    The directional pad was so spastic that i spent more time trying to navigate huludesktop than watching the shows. (hit the down button and it may do nothing, may hit enter, hit any direction and its just as likely to hit enter as the direction) and i have small hands so its not like i am just incapable of hitting the precise part of the pad. Sometimes the whole thing would slow down like if you ever tried to run vista on a 286 or something :) the currsor would slowly make its way and jump around the screen like i was getting 2-3 fps (by the way I have an AMD Quadcore with 4gbs or ddr2 and 2.3ghz per core) so its not my pc) to the size its small like smaller that a PSP or even the harmony 1000 remote (maybe the same size) and the clam shell is made of super thin plastic it does not feel refined or anything like a $150 prodcut should feel. (i paid $89. with free shipping and stillreturned it) I have Very high hopes for a second gen of this prodcut as they are probably fyling off the shelves mine was on back order for 1 month (probably becasue of the price) so hopefully there was enough responce to get logitech to try again. I have loved nearly every logitech prodcut i have owned so its not the company just a few cut corners to hit a price point which is still to high for the end prodcut would have prefered to pay and extra $20 or so for a more substntial clamshell cover and a little more refinement to controls and finish. IMHO
