[[File:aerb_fb_large.jpg|thumb|none|200px]][[Image:25star.png]] [[Image:20star.png]] Two and a half starts out of five because Aerb is half way there. For under $30.00 this remote is not a bad deal. Yet it has some shortcomings which might cause some users to start pulling out some hair. The main problem with this remote and many similar 2.4Ggz products of this nature is range. The unit has a terribly weak transceiver. The range is well below 10ft. The FCC allows for a more powerful radio than what is being used. The USB specification supports power drain for a more powerful internal radio in the receiver usb plugin component. Come on Aerb! Crank up the juice on this!Low rating because Aerb is half way there.

Crank up the juice on this!Update: We stopped using the Aerb Remote due to problems with the orientation sensor in the remote. When the QWERTY keypad was downward facing, it should be deactivated, however it sometimes becomes active and accidental keypress results in undesired actions on the computer system. The problem increases with use to the point where the media computer became unreliable until the remote was removed.Recommendation: Do not buy ANY [[Wireless Air Mouse]] with a keyboard on the bottom. They are consistently problematic and do not function as well as a SmartTV remote. Important Notice: This is a universal controller. It is normal that few keys might not be applicable to your device because of different codec by different manufacture. * Important Notice: This is a universal controller.

This makes the remote much more MythTV friendly. Note that after modification of these two files it will be necessary to completely reboot the system. Simply attempting a restart of xbindkey will result in bind failure.Use lsmod and lsusb to identify the device on the Linux installation. Output to be shared here...Verified Linux 3.8 Kernel support.
