Upgrade WeChip W1 Air Mouse Romote Control with Keyboard，IR/RF TV Remote Control for Nvidia Shield/Android TV Box/PC/Projector/HTPC/All-in-one PC

I've bought remotes like this before so I wasn't really expecting much. I was quite pleasantly surprised by this one though. The airmouse functions well which puts this device above most others I've tried. The keyboard is nice, keys take enough force that you don't press them inadvertently and functions are easy to get to.Bought this to use with a a youtube client on a FydeOS machine where the touchscreen wouldn't allow the back function and it worked perfectly with no setup at all. I've since tested it across a bunch of other systems including nVidia Shield, MiBox, Windows PCs, and Debian Linux PCs - works perfectly on all of them and needed no setup or configuration at all. Does everything I need in a nice compact cheap little package. I recommend this remote highly. If you build alternative style media systems this is an easy way to have a remote with zero effort.

I built a desktop computer that stays in our living room that connects HDMI into our TV. The computer is a media computer that has some Super Nintendo games, PS1, and PS2, etc. We also watch movies off of the device. I wanted a remote or wireless keyboard that I could use to interact with the computer that would be small enough to stay with the other remotes in our couch tray.The device takes some time getting used to it. I couldn't get the hang of it in the beginning. I'm not sure if my family is confident in using it or not. Its a lot like using a Wii remote but with a mouse pointer. Sometimes I can dial in the cursor and click on whatever icons even the smallest things like closing out browser tabs. Often times I have to hold it overhead and yell at it like it can hear me while I try to click on things that I am wanting it to do. But each time I use it, it gets easier to use. I ended up programming the power button on this remote to act as a input change button from our tv remote that came with the tv. That way I can switch to the computer when another input was being used and not need the remote that comes with the tv. There is a video on YouTube that explains how.I have learned that if you flip over the keyboard make sure the keyboard is flat in your hand or the keys won't respond. There is a motion detector inside that will ignore keystrokes if your using it like a remote control, that way if your trying to move the mouse and accidently click a button under the remote, the computer won't see that letter being pressed.Battery life on this remote is insane. I have literally charged it for maybe an hour when I first unboxed it and have not had to charge it again for the past three months. I can't believe that the remote is still charged and operating on such a short charge time.Overall, the remote is decent. If you have patience for it and don't mind learning how to use it, this may be it. Now I feel like I prefer this over a wireless keyboard. I like using the up and down directional buttons to scroll in browsers and using left and right buttons to skip or rewind a video. Much more convenient than using a touch pad to do that. It has its features and it does have it frustrations but for me, I'll be keeping it for now.

The media could not be loaded. After receiving the remote I quickly discovered it didn't have the ability to wake a suspended PC. So a quick google search later I found the FLIRC USB IR receiver and it works perfect with Wechip to Wake/Suspend the PC. Just install the FLIRC GUI app, select Media Keys controller, bind 'Wake/Suspend' button to power button on the Wechip remote and done. Also, make sure the USB port you are using allows 'USB Wake Support'. Only 2/10 of my USB ports were supported. I can't comment on battery life or other quirky bugs/features yet, but it is functioning exactly how I wanted it to for the sake of being able to wake/suspend the PC and point and click Play.4/14/2020 - Since buying this I ordered two more, another for home and one for work. I service line PCs with no keyboard or mouse, so this thing saves me time for quick fixes as long as I don't need to do much typing. The air-mouse and wake-up (+FLIRC) function is mostly I what I needed it for so I don't use the keyboard much. It is okay but can be tedious to use beyond some simple input. Besides that, I haven't had any issues. I feel like it holds a charge for a month or more depending on usage. Also, don't overlook the Learn IR function! You can train your Wechip's power button with your TV remote's power button and then turn the PC & TV on/off simultaneously!6/17/21 - It has been two years of using this mouse daily and still have not had any issues. Battery is holding up great as I don't even remember the last time I charged it and all buttons still work. Would still recommend!5/6/22 - Another year of literal daily use in our living room and it's still holding up exceptionally well. Battery life is great and we really don't charge it all that often. It's also been chewed on, drooled on, and thrown around by my now 2 year old and still working fine. The volume down button lost a little travel but still works. Will continue to recommend.11/17/22 - I have finally gave in and had to replace this remote - with another of the same model! It was still technically working but the volume up/down buttons were so worn that there was no more click or button travel making it tricky to turn down the volume. All other buttons still work as normal. Battery life was slightly worse but it still held charge for weeks at a time. Other than that, this thing lasted 3+ years of daily use and I will continue to recommend it.

Followed both written instructions on this page as well as video instructions (different instructions) but cannot get the power button to work. Written instructions state to "Long press the power key on w1" where video states to press the power key + OK key. In any event, the W1 flashed 3 times indicating the infrared code was received but cannot turn off the Nvidia TV Shield. The other keys/buttons on W1 work normally.
