The HTPC remote you’ve been looking for.
I bought (and then got 2 additional through Amazon Vine) the MX3 Pro Remote to use with my Home Theater PC, in particular, I needed a remote that would work with Plex, turn my 2016 Samsung TV on/off, and change inputs/volume of my surround sound system. The MX3 Pro did everything I needed it to with ease. I was able to set everything up in about 20 minutes after opening the box, and that included reading the instructions and playing with all the different buttons.I was able to set the power button to turn off/on the TV, and the four customizable color buttons at the bottom of the remote worked flawlessly for my surround sound. For my use case, I use 2 of the buttons for volume, one for power, and the other as a source/input button.For Plex users, many of the other remotes and controllers have syncing issues with Plex HTPC that cause errors or are ignored by Plex HTPC altogether, looking at you Xbox controller users, BUT this remote worked on Plex right out of the box with no setup once so ever!For the first time since using Plex HTPC my partner can also just grab the remote and use our living room TV without getting confused by the 3 different remotes and unique start-up procedures that we once had to deal with. The remote is so easy to use that even a child could use my complex Plex HTPC setup. This took my clunky niche hobby and made it approachable for anyone who comes over to use my home theater for only $10??? How did I not know about this until now?Next, the buttons themselves. The illuminated back lights also make all the difference in our dark living room “theater”. Even better, it only illuminates the side that is face up and only after you press a button, so it saves on battery life while still being ready to use at any moment. My stock surround sound remote has almost 50 buttons on it and none of them are illuminated. Finding the right one in the dark has been a problem since we bought it, but thanks to the MX3 Pro, there’s no more fumbling in the dark. It was not uncommon in the past for me to try to turn the sound up and accidentally change inputs or other settings, much to the chagrin of my partner.I also love being able to flip the remote over and quickly type in search bars. The navigational layout also feels natural and easy to use. You have to press the buttons quite firmly for them to register. I believe this was intentional so you don’t accidentally hit buttons. Additionally, I noticed the buttons on the upright side are the only ones that work, so you can’t accidentally hit the buttons on the bottom of the remote when trying to use it.The only con is the range of the air mouse function. It works great from about 10 feet away, but beyond that, it’s very jumpy and difficult to use. I will likely only use this feature occasionally, so it is not a big deal to me, but if you are picturing yourself lying in bed with a TV on the other side of the room, I don’t think you will be satisfied with it. There is a button on the remote if you want to disable it so the cursor isn’t scrolling all over the screen. I did try using a USB port extension and mounting the dongle on top of the TV, which helped significantly, but a cable did not come with the kit, and I don’t think this would be done in a typical install.All in all, I’d highly recommend this remote for anyone trying to get a smoother experience out of their Home Theater PC. The only thing I would change is a longer-range antenna for the USB dongle so the Air Mouse works better and I’d love even more of the programmable buttons.For the price, you really can’t beat it. I am legitimately surprised this remote is only $10.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT!
AMAZING! If this did nothing but basic air mouse functions, it would still be a great product but it does so much more. I use it on a mini PC media center and it works fantastic. The remote has many buttons for dedicated control functions plus 4 learning buttons for your custom configuration, and a complete QWERTY keyboard on the back. The backlight function is very useful in darkened rooms. A great addition to any tech setup. Great value on this 2-pack and I may buy more.

Wish it was better made
The mouse sometimes becomes erratic, backlight does t light up freezes up and made my TV very slow I would return but box got tossed out.

Works well
