The range on this thing is horrible. I cannot even walk to the end of the hallway (less than 25feet, line of sight away from the Air Click unit which is on top of my monitor using its extension cable) and use this thing. 60 feet line of sight is a pipe dream. Do not get this if you plan on using it through-out your house, much less outside. We were looking for a good remote control to change music through our airport express while we were outside. This will not fit the bill.

I'm using it with an old G4 Mac running Tiger to control iTunes and the OSX DVD Player. I only needed it to work in the room the Mac lives in because I just use it to control the volume, pause and skip on iTunes and the DVD Player. One oddity was that I need to reboot if I remove it and plug it in again for the Mac to see it. The other thing it took me a while to notice is that it seems like the granularity of the volume control is very course (10 steps) but if you hold the volume button down at the limits it actually changes the overall volume of the system so it's more useful than it seems as long as you don't mind the largish steps. It also took me a few minutes to realize it installed an icon on top of the screen that is used to select which app it is controlling. So it's not perfect, but it does what I wanted.

I bought this at the end of Feb. 2006 for my Mac. It works well except for the fact that the device is poorly designed. The part where the USB connector is and where the device bends doesn't take the stresses of normal use well and keeps popping open. For a while I put it back together, but this last time it tore out four of the five wires that connect the USB to the rest of the device and it is kaput. The wires are thin and soldered on lightly. It is not a robust hardware design. That is too bad because except for that (serious) problem, the device worked well with iTunes, the DVD player and other software. I wrote to the tech support people at Griffin Technology and told them that they need to replace it because it broke under normal wear and tear. We'll see what happens. I will report back. But if you purchase this, be very very careful and treat it very very gently.

Software installs in seconds and this unit works perfectly through walls and floors. My place is not that big, so those people with huge homes, well, can't help there. But for my use using this with VLC, DVD player and iTunes works flawlessly. I have a video projection system hooked to my computer, so the idea of having to get up to advance dvd chapters or controling the volume in the dark or using an infared controller was not optimal. But this is super. Thanks Griffin!!! I just love buying something and having it work just as I imagined.

A cool gadget. (...) Works well with my Mac. I'm using my mac as a jukebox and it controls iTunes great. Also used it with powerpoint and keynote without problems.When I received the unit, it had corrosion on the USB connector (but it worked!). (...) No regrets!

I like the compact design, but it just doesn't work well. This remote has an annoying habit of jumping to the end of a power point show, instead of advancing one slide. This is off-putting to an audience and cumbersome for a presenter. Ugh. I just ordered the Kensington remote to replace this one. Also note: for Mac users, this remote only works with MS Office 2004, not earlier versions of the software.
