Alternative Remote
« on: October 27, 2016, 10:33:03 AM »
Hello together,

I'm searching for an alternative remote for my Q10 Pro. Itshould be similar to my AFTV-Remote. The "pressure-point" of the buttons should be nice. My AFTV remote won't work with it  ???

Sorry for bad english but i'm from germany  :P

Thanks!

Nice Monkey

Thanks, but there are only a few remotes. All of them don't have a pressure point like the amazon one. The buttons are way too soften and gummy.

If you don't want mouse/keybaord functions then Logitech Harmony?

Rii MX3-M is excellent and inexpensive. Accurate airmouse, functional keyboard (good only for infrequent typing), and programmable IR for HiMedia power on/off. We've tested several alternatives.

a) Which keys can be programmed with IR codes exactly? The TV mode toggle button (2.4G/IR) suggest that all keys may have a double function: one programmable IR function and one 2.4G default assignment via pairing.
b) Do the buttons on the top really work with the function indicated? Fast FWD, Fast REW, Next Chapter, Prev Chapter, Pause/Play of Q10 Pro Media Center and or KODI.
If that is really the case I will get one to replace my standard remote with.

The specification, text plus user guide do not make it really clear for me. If all buttons are programmable the biggest feature is actually not advertised well. Most of these devices have a limited number of programmable IR buttons only (1 or 4). Have a few of those and still need my other remotes regularly.

a. The bottom four buttons can be programmed to IR commands.

b. In HiMediaplayer these top buttons work: play/pause, fast forward, reverse, skip forward, skip backward. In Kodi these top buttons work: play/pause, fast forward, reverse.

I'll put together a better guide at some point. Zero time in recent weeks.

All airmice/remotes have buttons that are not mapped correctly or not mapped. Rii MX-3M is as good or better than most. The main remote buttons all work (menu/back/cursor, volume, page up/down etc).

The magic words are in the leaflet/manual "IR Learning keys" which makes only the colored keys programmable. No differentiator with the many other products probably all using the same chip. Only the remote physics and actual number of keys+labels differ per product. Also valid for the standard IR remotes.

Will stay with my Xtreamer Airmouse Pro which does functionally exactly the same (probably using the same chip).

I appreciate that the user manual is a particularly inept case of Chinglish. I will write a better guide specific to HiMedia products soon.
