0Motorola NYXBoard

Bene, un grande complimenti a pulse-eight e posta reale: lunedì ho ordinato un telecomando QWERTY Motorola NYXBoard, e 21 ore più tardi è arrivato alla mia porta - e tutto ciò che per la spedizione gratuita!

The NYX­Board does all that it prom­ises. It was installed without fuss on my Win­dows 7 x64 HTPC and func­tioned imme­di­ately. The sig­nal is impress­ive — the r.f. works really well. I was also impressed that the device worked pre-boot up, unlike oth­er remotes I’ve used. I have also pro­grammed the remote to con­trol my Yamaha DSP-E800 sur­round sound amp­li­fi­er, and Sam­sung Slim­Fit 32″ HD CRT. This took a couple of attempts, but has also worked well. There are only 2 real weak­nesses — the mouse con­trol is slow, and the remote is quite chunky — nowhere as slick as the boxee remote. Cor­rect­ing these, and adding a super­i­or mouse con­trol meth­od — a small touch­pad, a “nipple” like that sound on some laptops, or an optic­al track­pad (like that found on the HTC Desire) would make for a per­fect device.

Regard­less of these minor imper­fec­tions, all my oth­er remotes have been instantly retired!
