Three? August 26, 2008
I actually didn't realize that this was three controls! Oh well.
I do really like the feel and responsiveness of the control. Works well.

I plugged it into my vista home premium system and it worked, can't ask for more than that.
My wife hated controlling movies and music on the keyboard, and the kids can control their DVD's now.
Great remote for MCE October 24, 2007

If you own an MCE2005 PC, you can't live without this remote. Don't listen to the other n00b who doesn't get it :P.
I've been using this remote for months without a single problem and the button layout is fine. I use it by touch all day long.
 Functionality works, but button size and layout is terrible October 2, 2007

Summary:
This remote control has a poorly designed button layout with too many very small buttons used for frequently used functions. Plan on looking down at your remote ALOT when you want to do simple tasks like 'pause', 'forward', 'go back', etc. It works fine, but the design and button layout is lacking.
Details:
I bought this remote to replace the remote control I received with my HP Media Center, wich didn't have backlighting and the buttons/keys were not arranged or sized for easy use. I bought this Microsoft remote contol because it looks similar to the remote control for my Tivo (which is great). The MS remote is a bit better than the HP remote, but it still has too many buttons arranged poorly and with many keys the same size or where the button size isn't related to its importance or frequency of use. For example, the Mute button is probably one of the largest keys on the remote (I rarely Mute - at least intentionally), but 'stop', 'pause', 'fwd', 'back' are all the same very small size and arranged in a circle. You can't tell by touch or feel what does what. The 'go back' button is very close to rewind button -- so I accidently exit my movie instead of just 'rewinding'. The remote does have backlighting, so at least see you what tiny key you need in a dark room. Overall, its ok, but far from great.
