Fun times

The Kymera wand is really fun. Once you get used to the gestures its super easy to use. It is also easy to set up.

The remote functions are kind of "touchy".

The difference between the actions for the remote functions are very subtle. It is not uncommon to find yourself raising the volume when you really wanted to change channels.

Great Item

While it can take a while to setup the wand initially, the novelty of using the wand to control your TV is worth the effort. The wand is easy to operate and the only problem I have had with the wand triggering a control when I don't want it to is the...

1. Works with my magnavox blu-ray player, Sony LED TV, Insignia TV, and my old Tube TV ; 2. You set each wand function separately. This allows you to teach the wand to operate multiple devices with the 1 remote ; 3. Controls were simple to learn ; 4....

1. It can take up to 30 minutes to fully program the wand ; 2. One of the controls is to rotate the wand which is extremely touchy. You will often accidentally trigger this control while trying to operate the other functions. Setting this control to...
