Hardware Review: Nyko Intelligent Remote 360

Posted on 16. Nov, 2008 by starg in General Discussion

Control your Xbox 360 and TV with 1 remote. Never be burdened with programming remotes again. The Intelligent Remote 360 is a self programming remote for the Xbox 360 that learns the functions for other remotes without the hassle of universal codes or software. Simply select the function on the remote that you would like the Intelligent Remote to learn, point the remotes toward each other, and with the press of a button the data is transferred instantly. This allows for convenient access to the 360’s functions while using other common devices like the TV, Stereo, etc, all from the same remote. The Intelligent Remote eliminates the need for switching between remotes and takes the hassle out of the setup.

Full Feature Learning Remote for Xbox 360

Lets take a look at the great features for this xbox accessory!

• Control your Xbox 360 and other devices like the TV, stereo, etc, with one remote.
• Built-in “Smart” function learns from existing remotes, no codes or software required.
• Back-lit buttons are clearly marked and simple to use.
• The remote turns on and off automatically to maximize battery life.
• Runs on 2 AAA batteries.

Basics

So far so good on everything you just read?! I hope so because your jaw will drop when you hear the price… you ready??? Only 300… Just kidding! you can get this baby for a WHOPPING! $19.99 from the manufactures site!!! This mouse is basic though and for myself that is all I need. I love to watch those Halo 3 demos I save of my double kill with one shot! Or shows, Movies, Por… *ermmm* the point is that this remote is great for those DVD features the xbox comes with.

Auto Power

I thought this was kinda neat, the Intelligent remote will shut down when it has not been used for a while so your batteries wont just die out on a weekly basis.

Back Lit Buttons

This remote also features back lit buttons so the buttons will light up so you can easily view them when it gets dark. This is great for those late nights with your friends or that special lady… or gentleman for some of you out there ;D its OK we don’t judge here.

Conclusion

The Nyko Intelligent Remote is not for someone with a huge entertainment system. Those of you who are may be looking at another remote I will be reviewing soon, But this is a must buy especially for $20.00 (US). It doesn’t come with many features but for the average person it will make your life easier when you view anything on the 360.

Overall Rating

8/10
