Welcome viewers. Today I have a brand-new wireless voice remote from the G series line,
and this one is called the G7. This one features 6 axis gyroscope sensors.
Voice commands feature. A full QWERTY keyboard.
5 programmable IR learning keys. A 200 mAh rechargeable battery.
It has a range of 10 m. It has backlit keys.
It comes with a wireless receiver dongle. And it has 77 keys in total.
In this video we’ll take a look at its design and button placement,
and I’ll test its voice commands feature, its air mouse function,
and I’ll also test its IR learning function. So stay tuned that’s up next.
In the box you get the G7 itself,
a micro USB charging cable, a receiver dongle, and a user manual.
Now a look at its design and button placement. To the front side starting from the top you have
an LED indicator and a built-in microphone. Below that you have your power button.
Next, you have a mute button and menu button.
Next you have your media player buttons, and below that you have four IR learning keys.
At the center you have your direction pad with an okay button.
To the left of the direction pad here you have your volume controls, and on the opposite
side you have your page up and down buttons. Below the direction pad you have a home button,
the voice commands button, and the air mouse button.
Below that you have a number pad a button for the backlight, and a delete or backspace button.
On the reverse side of the remote you have a full QWERTY keyboard.
When in the dark you have two double tap the backlight button to turn it on or off.
To start testing its features I will first connect it to my
desktop PC and test its air mouse feature, built-in microphone, and QWERTY keyboard.
To increase or decrease the speed of the cursor, press and hold the home button
and tap the volume up or down buttons to increase or decrease respectively.
So when connected to my PC everything works okay, the only issue is that voice commands don’t
work automatically, you first have to click the microphone and then use the voice commands button.
Next, when connected directly to my LG TV it has mouse pointer function,
the direction pad and okay buttons work, the volume controls work, but the voice
commands a feature does not work. The power button works to turn off the TV and you can
use the IR learning function to learn the power function on the stock remote to turn it back on.
Next when connected to an android TV box with Google assistant feature,
all features of the remote work perfectly including the voice commands function.
What countries are affected most by climate change.
The QWERTY keyboard also works fine.
The remote can also put the box into standby mode and wake it up using the power button.
It can also bring up the power options by long pressing the power button,
which will allow you to shut down the box. However if you attempt to power on the box it will
not work until you use the IR learning function to learn the power button on the stock remote.
I’ll show you how to do that now.
So after about an hour of testing, I discovered that the IR learning function
does not work on all IR remotes. The power button on this remote
cannot be learned by the G7. However I was able to learn the
power button from my TV’s remote. Remotes where the only IR button
is the power button you will not be able to learn any other button but the power button.
Remotes that are 100% IR, lots of other buttons can be learned.
So this is my LG TV remote, and the only IR button on this remote is the power button.
So to learn the power button. First press and hold the IR button on the G7 for three seconds
on till the LED indicator flashes quickly then release the IR button.
Then point the TV remote at the G7 and press the power button.
There G7’s LED indicator will go solid. Then press the power button on the G7 to assign
the power function and it will blink slowly again. Then press the IR button to save the function.
The five programmable IR learning buttons on the remote include the
four blank buttons and the power button. No other button can be used to learn.
To reset all learn the functions, press and hold
the IR button and the delete button for three seconds until the LED indicator flashes quickly.
So viewers there you have it. This was a quick overview of the new G7 wireless AirMouse.
It has lots of features, and it works from as far away as 10m and I can guarantee you that,
because I’ve tested it from behind concrete walls in another room.
The build of the remote is of a very high quality, and the rechargeable battery saves
you money from purchasing disposables. So if you are interested in the new
G7 remote you can get it for just $18.95 on Amazon.com, or for just $17.92 on AliExpress.
