Works well except for reverse button
(4 out of 5) by Edward Simpson on Aug 8, 2009I am using the apple remote with my Mac Mini that is hooked up to our TV (i.e., set up as a home theater PC). In terms of connectivity, it works better than I expected. Even though it uses infrared, I feel like I don't have to have line-of-sight to get the signal to the Mac. I am using it to control iTunes and iDVD.
I'd give it a 5-star rating except that the reverse button is touchy. When watching a DVD, I like to scan back to hear some dialog that I missed. To do that, you have to press and hold. However, it often just jumps back to the beginning of the chapter (which is extremely annoying). It's only supposed to jump back if you click the button (i.e., press and release). So that touchiness is a problem, but other than that it's a great product.
