Hawking Technology HWMP1 Wireless Multimedia Control Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm very leery of purchasing anything these days that has no review to be found online. But, the description was exactly what I was looking for to control my HTPC, so I rolled the dice.

Arrived this morning. First impression - It's tiny. Just slightly larger than a credit card. Feels very good in hand, sturdy, like it can be dropped a few times and not break. The USB was stuck in it's holder. After prying it out, I plugged it in. Works perfectly!

Touchpad -
The touchpad is exactly what you'd expect. Kudos to Hawking for the accelerometer. When you pick up the remote, up is always "up", which is nice. I haven't gotten the rotate feature to work yet, but I haven't tried much nor care much. The circle button acts as a right mouse button. Scrolling and zooming can sometimes be confused with each other, but it's not that big a deal. Very responsive, easy to use.

Keyboard -
The Keyboard toggle switch is easy - just hold down the button for a second or so and the backlight is on indicating keyboard mode. Typing is very fast - the backlight flicks slightly after each keypress as a confirmation. So far it seems pretty intuitive with the "shift" commands. if you toggle to numbers, it stays there until you toggle back. Shift is only on for one press. Smart.

I'm happy my gamble paid off. This will fit nicely in the Living Room remote tray. Very tiny, but very useable. Thanks Hawking!
