Best choice for a PS3 owner

 

Best choice for a PS3 owner

Infrared and bluetooth controller in one. You can't go wrong with this. The four stars is for the small keys and the coating which is starting to peel off after weeks of use.

Don't buy if you just want to control your PS3

I ordered this a week ago, set it up according to the instructions, and discovered, regardless of being extremely diligent when it came to transferring existing remotes, that it just didn't do it all. It could not control the smaller functions of the...

Like it a lot with one big flaw.

I returned my Sony remote for the PS3 because of big flaws. The major flaws are that the buttons are close together the labels for the buttons are hard to read and the remote didn't feel good in my hand. I've been waiting for another control with...

A lot of remote for the price, but still needs refinement

SMK should be commended for making this remote. It really is a novel concept, a universal multi-device blu-ray PS3 remote, an idea that Sony missed the boat on altogether! The remote works quite well for most basic setups, but it's not without fault....

Simply Amazing for this price range

I can not sing enough praise for this remote. It works wonderfully with my entire setup. I have it programmed for a Philips TV, Motorola cable box, Media Center PC and of course my PS3. A few commands had to be learned here and there but this process...

Works great!

Recently acquired a ps3 - girlfriend was sick of having to juggle multiple remotes - and truthfully, so was I. After reading a few reviews here, I grabbed one. My current setup is: Sammy 52 LCD (750 series??) Onkyo 6200 (i think) 7.1 reciever...

Great Product

Nothing fancy, but this thing does the job thats needed. Wish that the component buttons were a little larger and more legible but you'll have it memorized in no time. Connected with ease to my PS3. Remember to change components on the remote when...
