    In reply to X10 iconRemote RF Universal Remote Review
    And here I thought they went out of business a decade ago. They're still alive? I used to work with a guy who had his house heavily stocked with X10 controllers and loved them. I think they're novel but never much felt the need to have this much control over my appliances.

    That said, this remote looks awesome namely due to the "His" and 'Hers" buttons. Hilarious, yet not a bad idea!

    In reply to X10 iconRemote RF Universal Remote Review
    I have never had X10 work well in any of three different homes.

    It's never been very reliable, it would often take two or three attempts to issue an on/off or dim command.

    Crap product.

    @beartrash: I've had it work great for how I use it (lamps in apt's w/ no overhead lights) The big problem I have now is that with everything going to CF bulbs, the dimming doesn't work any more.

    In reply to X10 iconRemote RF Universal Remote Review
    Is it wrong for me to question any technology that has been around since the King James era and has barely evolved since then? They had an X10 control cartridge for the VIC-20.

    In a day when we want to control our entire home via a simple one buck iPhone App, is it reasonable to think we should be buying a billion RF boxes to control each device in our home separately with a barely acceptable remote control? Yes, there are a lot of add-on items for X10 technology, and I don't mean to dismiss that - but there is just something about this that seems way out of date, even to the old guy typing this.

    So, effectively, it's a $40 wireless USB keyboard/mouse?

    @Worf: Basically, except that it takes up nowhere near as much space as a keyboard, and requires no table to put the mouse on (gyration mice excluded). When I build my HTPC I'll be getting one of these. Was kinda dreading having to have a keyboard in the living room.

    I have used this for 3 months now. i was sceptical it being from hong kong, it is legit! and the rage is awesome. i use it when i have my laptop hooked up to my HDTV and am in the bed watching blu rays(better than keeping a wireless keyboard and mouse in my bed), or just wanna surf a couple of pages. no install works right out the box. lights up in the dark. no complaints at all. best 40 ive spent in awhile...

    Despite its kind of cheapy finish, it got a good review.
