Good concept with so so execution.......2007-10-31
I bought this remote because I got sick of switching between 5 different remotes to work my complicated TV setup. It looks great, worked fine, and I loved the way only the buttons for the device I was using lit up but the batteries died every few weeks because the motion sensor went off and turned the thing on with the littlest bit of stimulation. A great idea but unless you have stock in Energizer you may want to choose a more traditional remote.
Battery eater no more.... After the warranty was up.......2007-07-27
I opened it up. I read at a hack site about the vibe sensor tied to little bb's in a 1 inch x .25 inch little silver colored box. I carefully pried it open from the one side where it is is black plastic and out popped two little bb's. I removed them and reassmebled the little box and the unit and now the lights only go on when I hit a button. They stay on for about 5 seconds and a few of the buttons are a little darker now, but I don't care. Battery life is a lot longer now and the unit works like a champ. Can't do anything about the tactile feel, but it's ok, I'm used to it now.
It works! Instructions are actually useful - not regular "stereo" instructions........2007-07-23
Finally, a universal remote that actually can control everything. It controls all components of my home theater system: Onkyo receiver, Hitachi widescreen, DirecTV DVR, and Denon DVD/CD player. Having purchased other $100-$200 dollar remotes that didn't actually control more than 2 components, it was really refreshing to find one that works.
PROS:
1) It works.
2) Instructions are understandable to normal people. I programmed keys for macros to turn on all the home theater at once, and to switch the video output from DirecTV to watch movies. Programming a macro key will save you from going through many steps.
3) If the batteries are running low the remote tells you by blinking, will do what you want and immediately shut off to conserve power. Don't have to wait until it stops working to go find those batteries.
CONS:
1) Battery eater. Goes through a set every 6-8 weeks. Rechargeables are a good idea.
2) Vibration is sensitive. Walking past the table it is sitting on will turn it on.
3) Because the keys are not raised it is difficult to control what button you're pushing if you have larger fingers. Just for some of the buttons close together like "channel down" and "last channel." (Hearsay from my husband - I don't have any problems),
Overall, an excellent value. Patience with the initial programming will pay off in that you can put away the pile of remotes.
Kameleon 8 Review.......2007-06-08
Some difficulty with the program for Yamaha home theater recievers, other wise works as advertised. Lots of capability & flexibility. Good instruction manual.
Two words: Rechargeable Batteries.......2007-04-28
Pros:
--The only reason I am giving this product
2 stars is for it's stamina. We've had
it for two years and it is still funtioning.
Cons:
--It is motion sensitive and EVERYTHING sets if off.
You walk around, your cat walks around, you bump the
table, you sit on the couch: the remote lights up.
We changed batteries in this thing at least once a week.
--As someone else mentioned, the buttons are not raised.
I may be spoiled, but if I pay $100 for something, I
shouldn't have to look down at the remote everytime I
need to change the channel or volume.
--It wears easily. Ours still functions, but the keys are
worn down and showing black underneath. Which may be a
product of 2 years worth of use, but if the buttoms were
raised, this may not have been an issue in the first place.
--It is too complex for my taste. My spouse set it up so that
the macros could be pressed to activate multiple devices for a
certain activity, but turning it, for example, from game to TV
mode, requires multiple steps instead of one simple click.

Great product!!..........2007-10-26
Product does not have the code of my old home theater,new TV and DVD player, called customer service, she downloaded the software (through phone), entered the code..then the remote works like a charm. Now I only have one remote for the whole home theater system.
I like it.......2007-10-10
Some people complain about the battery life in this thing, but i use the 15 minute rechargables from rayovac and it doesn't bother me. Batteries need recharging about once or twice a month - no biggie. It does seem pretty sensitive to motion, it tends to come on even when it's on a solid surface and i walk by about 5 feet away. Overall it's a pretty cool product - i wish it had some more buttons (like delete for the PVR) and i wish macro programming were a bit more accessible/intuitive (still haven't figured that out, but haven't really spent any time at it). I like it, tho - all our stock remotes are in the drawer not getting used any more.
Better than Logitech Harmony remote any day!!!.......2007-08-06
I bought this when my Logitech Harmony 659 decided some buttons were worn out and would not work any longer (channel, menu,exit). Made my life miserable and frustrating after spending $130 for the Logitech remote.
I made a wise choice and changed back to this great company's One For All remote line. We have all used their products for years, even new electronic equipment manufacturers use their products and rebrand them as their own.
I love this Kameleon remote. It accepted all my codes and all the functions work great. The price was a lot less than the Logitech Harmony, too, even with the 2 year extended warranty I bought.
It looks cool, works flawlessly and even knows when you want to use it, with an internal motion sensor that turns the screen on when you pick it up!
About the motion sensor: It lights up the screen when the remote is picked up or even lightly bumped, which wastes battery power. I rest mine on my chair armrest, and it would light up every time I moved. Even walking across the room would light it up. Battery life is miserable (in the 4 day to 2 week range) with the sensor on. Some internet geeks want you to do surgery and remove the sensor, which is not smart! I researched and found a fix to this, used it and will describe it here:
To deactivate the motion sensor, begin at the cable/satellite screen, press setup until setup menu is entered, select the button labled "other" in the center area of the remote screen and input numbers 9-8-5 and the top area will flash 4 times as confirmation, then press home to exit. The motion sensor is now off and the screen can be turned on by pressing the screen anywhere. Reactivation of the motion sensor is done by repeating the same steps.
With the advent of home theater systems and/or multiple pieces of electronic equipment invading our lives, this is THE remote you need to take control of all those items an do as you intended, make your life more enjoyable and efficient!
Waste of money........2007-07-10
Pros:
Looks really cool
Cons:
Difficult to use - you have to look at the remote to use the buttons (don't underestimate what this means while you're watching TV)
Battery life is HORRIBLE!!!
I tossed mine and bought a Logitech 670 that I love.
Great Idea, Poor Quality.......2007-06-27
Easy to program and use. Very cool idea for adaptive display. However, after only a few weeks of use the remotes' backlight quit working.
I threw it away and bought a Logitech 550.
