An interesting design I must say, I have my remote for my PS3 which is situated in my living room to watch TV, so this would go along quite nicely. I do quite like the 'snowboard' shape they're going for, my only concern is how small it is. Compared to an actual cable remote, it looks quite tiny. But, I could adapt to it.

 

Good article Mr. Zebra.

It's slick and looks good but the real question is, does it work properly? You know what remotes can be like, you press a button and it either takes a few seconds that previously thought for the action to go through or you have to hold it closer to the TV which is like super effort it you're lazy. #firstworldproblem

I personally don't see the point in a media remote. You could just use a regular controller to pause, rewind, etc. or maybe use a Smartphone with SmartGlass. Why spend that extra £15 for something you really don't need?

 

Because using the controller as a remote is a pain in the butt.
