Title: Multimedia Controller?
Post by: finleye on Mon, 01 September 2014, 20:07:05

I'm looking for a multimedia controller. I've taken a look at the Griffin Technology NA16029 PowerMate USB Multimedia Controller (http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Technology-NA16029-Multimedia-Controller/dp/B003VWU2WA/ref=cm_cmu_pg_t) but I would prefer something wireless. If anyone has experience with the Griffin PowerMate I'd appreciate some feedback. I just want to be able to pause/play, adjust volume, and skip track. Thanks!

They are currently out of stock, but Griffin also makes a bluetooth version (http://store.griffintechnology.com/laptops/powermate-bluetooth) of the PowerMate.

Hope that helps!
