Upgrade WeChip W1 Air Mouse Romote Control with Keyboard，IR/RF TV Remote Control for Nvidia Shield/Android TV Box/PC/Projector/HTPC/All-in-one PC

I've bought remotes like this before so I wasn't really expecting much. I was quite pleasantly surprised by this one though. The airmouse functions well which puts this device above most others I've tried. The keyboard is nice, keys take enough force that you don't press them inadvertently and functions are easy to get to.Bought this to use with a a youtube client on a FydeOS machine where the touchscreen wouldn't allow the back function and it worked perfectly with no setup at all. I've since tested it across a bunch of other systems including nVidia Shield, MiBox, Windows PCs, and Debian Linux PCs - works perfectly on all of them and needed no setup or configuration at all. Does everything I need in a nice compact cheap little package. I recommend this remote highly. If you build alternative style media systems this is an easy way to have a remote with zero effort.

I like that this model has a Home button. It works great with the Invidia Shield and all apps. If you don't like the air mouse (I found it a little off - maybe there is a way to calibrate?), you can turn it off and it works with the navigation buttons (up/down/rt/left). It doesn't use AAA batteries, and I hope they last or the lithium ion battery can be replaced. Charge it overnight and it seems to last quite a long time. This is the best remote I've found for the Invidia Shield.

The media could not be loaded. After receiving the remote I quickly discovered it didn't have the ability to wake a suspended PC. So a quick google search later I found the FLIRC USB IR receiver and it works perfect with Wechip to Wake/Suspend the PC. Just install the FLIRC GUI app, select Media Keys controller, bind 'Wake/Suspend' button to power button on the Wechip remote and done. Also, make sure the USB port you are using allows 'USB Wake Support'. Only 2/10 of my USB ports were supported. I can't comment on battery life or other quirky bugs/features yet, but it is functioning exactly how I wanted it to for the sake of being able to wake/suspend the PC and point and click Play.4/14/2020 - Since buying this I ordered two more, another for home and one for work. I service line PCs with no keyboard or mouse, so this thing saves me time for quick fixes as long as I don't need to do much typing. The air-mouse and wake-up (+FLIRC) function is mostly I what I needed it for so I don't use the keyboard much. It is okay but can be tedious to use beyond some simple input. Besides that, I haven't had any issues. I feel like it holds a charge for a month or more depending on usage. Also, don't overlook the Learn IR function! You can train your Wechip's power button with your TV remote's power button and then turn the PC & TV on/off simultaneously!6/17/21 - It has been two years of using this mouse daily and still have not had any issues. Battery is holding up great as I don't even remember the last time I charged it and all buttons still work. Would still recommend!5/6/22 - Another year of literal daily use in our living room and it's still holding up exceptionally well. Battery life is great and we really don't charge it all that often. It's also been chewed on, drooled on, and thrown around by my now 2 year old and still working fine. The volume down button lost a little travel but still works. Will continue to recommend.11/17/22 - I have finally gave in and had to replace this remote - with another of the same model! It was still technically working but the volume up/down buttons were so worn that there was no more click or button travel making it tricky to turn down the volume. All other buttons still work as normal. Battery life was slightly worse but it still held charge for weeks at a time. Other than that, this thing lasted 3+ years of daily use and I will continue to recommend it.

After scouring reviews of air mouse remotes for my Intel NUC HTPC, I settled on testing two different remotes: the W1 and the Pepper Jobs.The W1 has a simple, clean design that meets the needs of most of my inputs which looked appealing. Unfortunately my brief time testing it was disappointing. The wireless mouse is poorly calibrated and unexpectedly combines movement axes. The rechargeable battery is convenient but the port should be updated to USB-C. I couldn’t get the IR function to turn on my NUC out the box. It could work with more tinkering but I didn’t give it more effort after my frustrations with the air mouse.The other mouse I tested from Pepper Jobs is a much more busy design, but the air mouse function and IR blaster also worked great off the bat.I recommend you try a couple products side by side and decide for yourself.

I recently purchased the WeChip W1 Remote, hoping to simplify my home entertainment experience, but it quickly became a frustrating purchase. Although advertised as plug-and-play, it frequently disconnects from my Nvidia Shield and Android TV Box, requiring constant resets. The claimed impressive transmission range turned out to be highly exaggerated—signal strength drops significantly even within the same room, making usage unreliable. The keyboard on the back feels extremely flimsy and cheap, with keys that stick or don't register properly. Even basic functions like volume control are annoyingly unresponsive, requiring excessive force to activate. The lack of compatibility with popular brands like Samsung, Sony, LG, TCL, and Roku severely limits its usefulness. Overall, this remote has complicated rather than simplified my home setup, and I strongly advise against purchasing it.

Works great and has a long battery life. I use it all the time to control my laptop connected to my TV
