  1. I just got my Skip 1s remote and so far it is OK.

    IR function seems to be weak I am having to use an IR blaster unless I am only 5 feet away from the device.

     

    Pros:

    • Nice looking remote.
    • Once you figure how to enter the button mapping things seem to go better.
    • Love the ability to custom buttons.
    • Works with IR Blaster to help with weak IR.
    • Work with Sonos.

    Cons:

    • Remote seems to randomly turn off, meaning it just stops working.  I know this because the LED on the IR blaster is not flashing.  I have to remove the batteries and hold the power button then re-insert the batteries to get to work again.
    • Weak IR.  The remote does not seem to work unless it is directly in front of the device.  Remote does not work well past 5 feet from the device.
    • Unable to list custom buttons for Roku example YouTube TV is not an option.
    • Took me a little while to find all the functions in the software but I found what I was looking for.
    • Not able to figure out how to switch activities without turning everything off then back on.
    • Unable to add custom apps for the Roku

    Thoughts:

    • Wish it had Wifi to control Roku.
    • Wish it would be smart enough to know to just switch inputs for different functions.  Example if I am watching TV and want to play the switch I have to turn all devices off then turn back on.  When I press B it should be smart enough to know A is active and just change inputs to the TV for the Switch.

    Devices:

    • Samsung TV
    • Roku 3
    • Sonos Playbar
    • Nintendo Switch
    • Sony Blueray player
