Nyko Intelligent Remote reviewed
Planet Xbox 360 has posted its review of the Nyko Intelligent Remote for the Xbox 360. Essentially a budget version of the Logitech Harmony remote, the Intelligent Remote is a "learning" remote, that relies on direct programming rather than manufacturer codes. To program the Intelligent Remote you place another remote in front of it and press the appropriate button. This is then mapped to an appropriate button on the Nyko remote. While the process is tedious, as each button must be individually programmed, it allows for multiple device functions to be contained on one remote.
As 360 functions are automatically programmed into the control, it works well for watching DVDs or navigating menus on the Xbox 360. Your satisfaction of the device will likely rely on how much time you're willing to spend programming it. Ultimately, Planet Xbox 360 recommends the official 360 remote over the Nyko product.
Does anyone out there have one of these? Would you care to attest to its quality (or lack thereof)?
