NVIDIA - SHIELD Remote - Black

Best feature headphone jack in remote allows for private listening. Sleek , has Voice prompt in remote Can be used for game play Sliding volume control is nice but not not too accurate Using it for controlling a streamed movie takes some learning Minimal instruction provided Got it free during BF2015 promotion, otherwise not worth the $50 extra - the shield controller is way better and that has the headphone jack too.

I would actually give this 4.5 Stars, It really does seem expensive and i'm not sure I could bite the bullet if I didn't have a best buy gift card to use towards it to soften the blow. That being said, after using it for a few days now I'm beyond impressed with the build quality. It's brushed aluminum back makes it feel like it's a $50 remote. The microphone is easily sensitive enough to not have to hold it up to your face to search and the fact it's rechargeable via micro usb cable is a huge plus on making it so thin. My only other gripe is that it's not so ergonomic when you are holding it in your hand, they almost needed a little niche or something so it is held in your hand more comfortable when you are using the most common part at the top (the directional pad and circle ok button in the middle). All in all I dont regret spending the money at all since I use the headphone jack feature a lot on the included controller and this is much easier to manage in a master bedroom when you are watching something at night and dont wanna wake the Mrs or the kids

Not much to say other than it is a great piece of hardware. Small, but not too small to be comfortable or to lose. Lightweight and comfortable to hold and use with one hand. Simple, but functional. Looks good. It functions perfectly and is very intuitive to use with no learning curve (I'm a bit techy, but I believe this applies to most). The mic feature works well, and it just feels good in your hand. Note that I use a receiver for volume control, so I can't comment on the slider volume control that some have complained about. That said, I did use it for the first few days while I was still tinkering and testing, and didn't notice any issues with it and found it to be as comfortable and functional to use as the rest of the remote. Once again, Nvidia shows that they take time to do things right, and build quality, high performance products. Would definitely recommend the remote for cord cutters.

Great Little remote for an excellent streaming device. The voice search feature works quite well using Google for recognition! The volume control touch slide area is slick too. Plus, this is coming free with b Nvidia Shield purchase so grab one, you won't be disappointed!

I'm not sure this remote would be worth $50, but it came bundled with my Shield TV and it's a nice remote. Feels good to hold and has a rechargeable battery. The voice search works well and is a nice feature.

I bought the Nvidia shield on sale with an extra controller and figured I was just going to use them to operate the shield. I did not want to spend another 50 dollars on an accessory that should have been packed with the unit. Well I was wrong and wanted the controller bad so I got it. I'm really liking it because it's small, thin and a quality build. It definitely feels like a premium item and adds voice search to the shield. I also love the fact that it is rechargeable, which has not needed a charge in over three weeks of constant use. Well worth the price of admission folks!

I love this remote its rechargeable and i could privately listen to my Netflix or play games with out anybody waking up just connect any headphones to the control and your good to go

Very well designed, feels nice in the hand. Voice search and navigation and sound control functions work well. Also bonus - you can connect you headphones to the remote to get sound.
