One thing stops me from buying: Control. Is there a companion remote app? I will NOT buy something requiring a separate device like mouse/keyboard.

This requires a sperate device like a wireless keyboard and mouse to use it from your couch. You can look at some videos on YouTube.

You need a wireless mouse and keyboard. I use a keyboard mouse combo wireless all in one. No remote app for it.

There is no remote. You would need to add a usb IR. Also, no OS. You'll need to add that and a hard drive and memory. Read the specifications for this box carefully.

Here is an article about rkremote, which is a free app. http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/android-mini-pc/rkremotecontrol-remote-control-app-rk3066-3285.html, some say droidmote is a little more responsive, but if you don't want to shell out any money, this one could be good enough.

Yes, I use a wireless keyboard with my switch. I can't speak to a mouse, but I don't see why not.

I have the newer high-end Mac Mini hooked up to my Samsung 56" TV. Works great. I wouldn't expect nearly the same experience with a Windows machine (I use both Windows and Mac at home). I have the Logitech DiNovo Edge keyboard with touchpad to control it, and the regular Apple remote can be replaced with any universal remote that supports it (such as Logitech Harmony). I can also use my iPod Touch with the "Snatch" app to control it. I use iTunes, DVD player, QuickTime, VLC, etc. with good results.

OK, it clearly states under the first paragraph of the Product Description section: "Plus a wireless multimedia remote, with a built-in mini-keyboard and mouse, is included, enabling you to browse the web wirelessly from the comfort of your chair or sofa." And, in the "At A Glance" section, the last item reads "Compact handheld wireless multimedia remote with a built-in mini-keyboard and mouse" So. where is my included remote?? Had anyone gotten one?

it doesn't come with a remote controller. however it has digital buttons to control your gadgets (if I remember correctly). it has been a long time since I used it last.

yes you can purchase the remote controls. They come with a 3 pin adapter to sync with another remote you may have, or you can program/sync with the keypad...however, take the metal hook off when programing, it interferes. I've purchased replacements of both item and never had issues with syncing.

It's only helpful if you use the smart tv like browser, etc.. If you plan on using the browser getting an integrated mousepad/keyboad combo is a must. I picked up the Logitech K400r which has a nice mousepad and does a good job..

Not a dedicated one. What type of device are you wanting to control? I ask because when I'm watching DirecTV, the center circle button pod acts to take me up or down one channel at a time (or through time left and right), and the CH+- button cause me to page up and down. So while not dedicated, I get an effective pgup/dn button anyway. It's a learning remote, so presumably one could program any buttons to act as a page up key as well.

You can buy a remote control on Ebay, for $5.99. I just got one. Yes, it comes from China, but it WORKS!

Check out the Logitech Remotes, Harmony series. Very easy to program and will replace ALL of your remotes with one!

I've heard of JoyToKey (google it), I'm not familiar with actually using it, but I believe it's a way to enable a controller to emulate a mouse and keyboard
