Rating:  - Great for use with Microsoft Zune player
This product makes using the Zune player easy. However, it can only be used with the Zune dock which is sold separately. Connect the Zune Dock to a PC's USB port or an AC adapter and then dock your Zune player. Connect your Zune player to a TV/stereo system and you can access your music library in Zune wirelessly. The remote has the full functionality of the player.
Rating:  - Handy remote for Zune
It is very convenient to use the remote to change the playing options on the zune. I really like it and recommend it to other Zune owners.
Rating: - It does what it needs to.
First off, size wise it's about half the size of the Zune itself in just about every way. It's small, but not too small to where it could innevitably annoy you.
To me, the buttons seem like they are placed a tad oddly. The back button and play buttons are over the "d-pad", instead of on the sides of it like the Zune device itself. It takes some getting used to, and the two "skip track" buttons are even higher up then said back and play buttons, which is even more out of the way. Also, the two volume up/down buttons toward the button of the remote don't actually control the volume on the Zune. I still have yet to figure out what they do.
Now, even though the buttons are (in my humble opinion) placed oddly, the d-pad on the remote mimmicks the one on the Zune device spot-on. So, you actually don't really have to use the buttons if you don't want to. I do have one more quibble, though. The IR range doesn't seem to be that good. When I use it in my Car, I sometimes have to point the remote directly at the Dock to get any response. Maybe that's just me, though.
But, I digress. The remote does what it needs to, and pretty well overall. It also has the same "soft" feeling the Zune device has, and like the Zune, is pretty scratch resistant. Now, if only it came in Brown or White...
