MCE vs hauppauge remote (vs. Sky+ remote?)

f0rmula · 2006-01-27, 17:58

I've got both hauppauge remotes: the <insert low number> remote, and the <insert high number> remote. (from a Nova-T and a PVR350).

They are OK, but they feel quite cheap and nasty. Does the the MCE remote have a better feel to it?

I was also thinking maybe a Sky+ remote might be a good idea. It's really weighty, and the buttons have very positive feel to them.

Thanks for any opinions

hi if you read the many posts on the forum both the MCE remote (european version best) and keyboard both have a QUALITY feel about them and once youve used them you would not want to change.
PS use rechargeable batteries cos lighting up remote lasts about 6-8 weeks even less if falls down into the chair and permanantly has button pressed.
