    Hey boss big time fan of your work here, it's truly saved my life especially durring these crazy times. So I just got the w2 and realized that when you hold the back button it becomes a home button. Hope this helps. cheers mate.

    I actually purchased the W1 primarily for my PC, since it is hooked up to my living room tv. It’s way more convenient than the Bluetooth keyboard I was using prior. Just mentioning this because you said in your video you didn’t know why someone would use this for their PC.

      Does the right-click button work properly for you? For me, it doesn't recognize the pointer on the screen so it opens an unwanted menu.

    I have had the w1 for a week now and I love it. I didn't know about the hold down on the center button for the scrolling feature I will try that thanks. It is easy to learn the buttons for the volume I also had to learn it for the center buttons to use without the air mouse. I agree about the home button I use spotify and if I had to back out every time that would suck lol. I would highly recommend one of these remotes thanks for the awesome review.

  • @KingCyrus96

    *FOR NVIDIA SHIELD TV USERS*
    I'd just like to say that the back button on the W2 air mouse actually doubles as a Home/Return home button. I accidentally stumbled across this today. If you long press the back button it takes you home.
    This is an ideal remote for Shield TV users. I can't rate it highly enough. You may want to try this with your other android devices as it may be the same. Cheers

  • @tranzhuman
    @tranzhuman 4 роки тому

    The W2 does have a home button : Fn and left direction = home and it works. However it is absolutely impractical to turn the remote over to do this so I am using Button Mapper too. Another feature missing is that there is no light to indicate the remote is charging or fully charged.

    The W2 is the better hands down. You just need to LONG PRESS THE BACK BUTTON TO GO HOME!
    You get a better device with VOICE CONTROL and more functionality on the keyboard and simply needed to read the features to find out about the long press HOME option... Please update this video with at least a text overlay about this so people don't waste money on the W1 anymore.
