I got this remote and loved it from moment one. Simple and easy. Now I have a Harmony 550 remote that replaces the Keyspan remote... plus controls my Sony LCD, Samsung DVD and old Sony AV Receiver. Took a call to Logitech to get the Harmony to mimick the Keyspan remo. Now the Harmony talks to the Keyspan IR receiver nicely.

The Keyspan remote is the perfect addition to a laptop setup. I play music through MusicMatch on my laptop, which is plugged into the living room stereo. The remote easily controls the volume setting in the MusicMatch program, PLUS the system volume on the computer (using different keys), plus has start, stop, next track, previous track and even scan forwards and scan back.

Even nicer, it does all this while fitting in the palm of your hand. No hulking TV-style bulk. Slim, light and slender. I slip it into my pocket and change volume or track as I move around. If you ever dance in your living room, which my wife and I sometimes do, the remote lets you change volume while you're dancing. Then slip it back into your pocket, it's so small. It's great!

There are a number of media players pre-programmed into the software, but it's even more flexible. The included configuration program lets you set any key to any function, your choice.

Highly recommended. It's one of those "I don't know how I got along without it" kind of things.

This little remote is a quality piece for watching TV on the PC. Since my computer is in the same room as my futon, it makes movie-time much easier to work with and allows me to watch season after season of this and that tv show without the bother of getting up to grab the keyboard every few minutes. Additionally, its range is much higher than that of my wireless keyboard and mouse, and it's equally easy to use. Additionally, since it can be EASILY reprogrammed, I have no issues using it on obscure programs (though I tend to use it with Winamp). It occasionally gets hidden under the covers late at night, but it's color makes it relatively easy to find. I have read a lot of reviews about the batteries. The batteries themselves that come with it are Maxell CR2025. I searched around and asked battery experts. They CANNOT be purchased in rechargeable form, and since most of the reviews say they die rather quickly, I always pop off the back cover and take them out when I'm not using it. There have been whole days that I have forgotten too, but even now, after over a month of use it has not died on me. Also, you can buy 5-packs on e-selling sites like this one for 4 dollars. They are small, but so far I haven't lost the batteries or the remote.

I've had this for two years. Using with Winamp, ATI Multimedia Center (TV tuner software), and other media players on Windows XP. The software can be cumbersome to set up for each program you use, but having the ability to customize for any program that uses the keyboard to execute commands, it's worth it. Also have used it with PowerPoint presentations.

If you want to transfer your settings to another PC, you can copy the install folder from "C:\Program Files\Keyspan" to your new computer, then reinstall the software.

The keymapper uses about 4MB memory. The remote's battery lasts me about a year with daily use, and are $2 to replace.

Quick delivery. The product doesn't work as well as I think it should, but that's not the sellers fault.
