Gyration Media Center Remote and Keyboard Review

The Gyration Media Center Remote and Keyboard can control your Media Center PC from up to 100-feet away, but the remote lacks the features that would make this a must-have HTPC accessory.

Summary

Gyration’s Media Center Remote and Keyboard allow you to access every aspect of your Media Center PC from up to 100 feet away from the base unit. The keyboard works flawlessly and has some great multimedia features. The gyroscopic mouse was comfortable to use as well as easy to learn, however, the remote control functions and design could use some serious improvement.

Gyration has come up with some innovative ways to incorporate their Gyro technology into a Media Center remote, but we feel they still have a bit of work to do. Its main flaw is the lack of number buttons which are often used while watching TV, but there were several other issues we had with the remote.

The Media Center Remote and Keyboard certainly improve upon having to use a wired mouse or keyboard for a Media Center PC and the fact that you don’t need a flat surface
