1Great, but doesn't control the power On/Off  Aug 21, 2008
Controls the PS3 great, except that you can not turn the PS3 on/off with this remote. You still need to get up to power on/off. Other than that, it works very well. I have integrated this with a Logitech Harmony 880 remote.

5Works Great!  Aug 16, 2008
I bought this device for the infrared USB dongle. I can now control my Playstaion 3 using my Logitech Harmony One remote.

2Just okay, could be better  Aug 15, 2008
I don't recommend this remote unless you need the IR receiver so you can use a universal remote such as a Harmony remote. The remote control that comes in this package is very cheap feeling and also does not give you that much control over your PS3.

Unless you absolutely need the IR receiver, I recommend the Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote instead. It gives you a PS button as well as additional buttons such as audio/subtitle and eject; all buttons that the Nyko remote does not have. Also with the Sony one, you do not need any usb dongle plugged into the front of the PS3 (which looks sorta of weird).



5Perfect Device to sync PS3 with Harmony Remote  Aug 14, 2008
I looked at several options before deciding to go with the nyko. 1)The IR2BT, which is pretty much useless after one of Sony's latest firmwares.
2) Schmart adapter, which which offers full control including power on/off, but costs over 100 dollars. 3) Nyko blu-wave, offers full control except for power on/off, costs 20 dollars.

For the price, this item cannot be beat. Harmony has the Blu-Wave in their database, so I added it, and was controlling my PS3 through my Harmony 550 in less than 3 minutes! Trouble free operation and worth every cent. There is no power off/on, but I go to my PS3 anyways to put the disc in, so really the only thing missing is power off. But that is really not even worth mentioning as its such a minor thing. I really love this product and give it 5 out of 5.

5Terrific  Aug 11, 2008
When I bought my PS3 a Sony PS3 remote came with it it in a deal. What an annoying piece of junk. Every time I used it it needed to reprogram to work.
The Blue wave remote worked flawlessly.
