Hercules Tunes Explorer Wireless remote control - CNET
A review of the Hercules Tunes Explorer Wireless remote control has been posted on CNET. 'The Tunes Explorer is a two-part system. A small wireless transceiver dongle plugs into the USB port of your PC or Mac (it basically looks like a slightly oversize USB thumbdrive). The dongle interfaces with the Tunes Explorer remote. The 4.25x2.33x0.75-inch (HWD) remote is pretty basic. The front face offers a centered, five-way directional pad (forward, rewind, play/pause, menu/back, and select); volume up/down buttons are nearby, but the lack of a mute key was a disappointing oversight.
Above the buttons is a four-line, backlit LCD screen. For better or worse, the onscreen menus are navigated not by the front D-pad, but rather by the BlackBerry-style scroll wheel found on the right-hand side. Below the scroll wheel is a keylock switch for avoiding unwanted commands while transporting the remote. Around back is the battery compartment--it's powered by two AAAs. There's no power button per se; the remote turns on when you touch any of the buttons, and it will go to sleep after a few minutes of nonuse. The remote is functional enough, but it has a cheap flimsy feel; the fact that the select button on our review sample was slightly off axis didn't exactly inspire confidence.'
