G20BTS Plus Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Voice Backlit Remote Control Support 2.4G USB Gyroscope IR Learning Remote Control for Android TV Box(G20S Pro Plus)

Don't trust rechargeables, as they build in obsolescence. Often it's (deliberately) poor USB connectors that no longer connect for charging. So, I purchased another one so I have two now. The older remote is showing wear and heavy use but that's OK. Radio range is superb. Have a 10,000 sq foot yard so can up to volume anywhere on the property (as tested). It's used for a setup with outdoor speakers, and amplifiers hooked up to 13 speakers. Battery life is excellent. I use the device for Android box for playing movies and music so it's heavily used. Best remote period. Battery operated is the way to go. Seems like tip-toeing-through-the tulips with USB connectors used to recharge rechargeable types and devices only goes so far. Note how they require more and more jiggling until they can't be recharged anymore. A It's a common problem with rechargeables. The the USB connection seems good from the start. Even had some problems with power connectors so these are locked down to prevent any movement. As prophesized such devices no longer charge like so much Chinese stuff except the really high-end products purchases that rich people who are also Chinese collaborators and investors buy. Another strike for other remotes was the dedicated USB dongles having two identical model remotes didn't mean that the dongles could be used interchangeably. If one dongle malfunctions then the other remote no longer works despite having another one. A look at the manual shows no programming fixes. In contrast, this product was a pleasant surprise great price and works very well with android boxes. Product ships with a dongle that could be used to set it up if the connecting device doesn't support Bluetooth. If the box does support it this remote could be easily be setup like any other Bluetooth remote in the box freeing a USB port. I really like how well it scrolls like a mouse and batteries last for months. For all remotes, I open the battery pack and flip one of them (mindful of the spring) when not in use because replacing them frequently is a pain. It's weird where the original remote for my android is required to start up the device. I can't the IR function to work. That part is needed for devices with IR. That's when I ran into the power connector problem where plugging and plugging forced me to get another box. That's when the "connector trick" for planned obsolesce was discovered. The mouse has a dongle that is fully functional. It uses up a slot. If you play music a lot in say a patio and for gardening it's best to use it. However, the mouse works directly with Bluetooth but you lose features like pause. Basic functions like volume works.

I originally had a problem getting this connected almost 45 minutes to an hour. I gave up and gave her another try finally got it to work. Have limitations first the remote that comes with the android box I have optimum cable and that’s what they’re running the android system. I was looking for a remote that has back light this does. I wish it would activate when you pick up the remote, but it doesn’t until you touch one of the buttons It’s OK. It’s better than what the Cablecompany gives you with the box.

I've purchased so many different USB dongle remotes over the past few years. Some the gyro absolutely is horrible on, some work well but lack some features, and some are just absolute rubbish. This is the first backlit remote that actually does the job and does it right. Plug and play with volume control and full functionality. The voice search *does* work, but Android TV is still miles away from competitors on making that function work properly. Overall, this is a great remote and I'm very happy with the purchase.

Product is great, responsive, zippy, and does what it claims. Battery life is good, quality is good enough, and it's Ease of Use is just as advertised. Sadly - the most important button (OK) does not work or even register for Linux (tried multiple distros and desktops) unless you're in air-mouse mode. Spent a ton of time making custom mappings and it's still not quite there. It worked great on Android, but is sadly not something I'd recommend if you have a Linux Kodi server or similar.

I was looking for something really particular, a remote to control my android tablet (Lenova P12) from across the room in hopes that I could use it in my tent while camping. I really was expecting some basic functionality and wasn’t hoping for much more. I assumed the air mouse thing wouldn’t work. Mainly, I wanted to be able to point and click. To my surprise, every function I have tried (including air mouse) work flawlessly. This is just like a small smart tv in my tent. This is a pretty fancy base camp kind of setup. Being able to mount the tablet to the wall with the magnet case was already awesome. Having this remote now has me really excited!

Paired very easily with my buzztv android box, problem is when box is turned off or rebooted, the bluetooth shows paired but only a few buttons work. Re paired it many times, same results.

Air mouse feature was good, especially when using a browser app on your tv. Connected to my streaming device by Bluetooth with no issues. Using my Samsung tv remote I taught the air remote to power on/off my Samsung tv. Did the same procedure with my Vizio remote for my sound bar but was only able to teach the air remote the mute button, was not able to raise or lower the volume? Contacted the seller and they said “to raise or lower the volume, press the volume control buttons on the remote” and they included a photo of the remote with arrows pointed to the up/down volume buttons…are you kidding me? The other remote controls did work on my android streaming device except the volume control buttons wouldn’t work on the Vizio sound bar only the mute button? The instructions did say “only power and mute can be programmed” what about volume controls? It took multiple attempts pressing the OK button to get it to work. The remote feels cheap like plastic junk! Do yourself a favor and don’t buy this garbage. Shop around because there has to be something better even if it costs a bit more!

A web search for the Google reference design G20 remote (built to spec by Ohsung Electronics in Korea) will turn up a link to this device. This is NOT the Google reference design, and is not even styled or labelled like it. For a look at the real Ohsung G20, refer to what Rocktek bundles with their G2 streaming box. It is, however, very compatible (in Bluetooth mode) with various Android TV and Google TV devices. It is also (to my knowledge) the only device having "air mouse" capabilities which runs on replaceable batteries. It pairs easily with ATV devices and all of the basic functions work fine once you get used to the non-standard button labels. I think that most of the negative reviews here stem from people trying to use this with other AV devices which are connected by the USB wireless dongle. Compatibility and function seem to vary greatly and I would not recommend a random buyer to invest in this device for that purpose.
