edit: the topic should read TYPE, not TIME.
I bought my xbox 360 second hand a last week. It came with a media remote. It looks just like the Microsoft version except for two things:
1) the START button isn't a green button, it's a regular button that happens to say START
2) the top of the remote has two extra buttons. Neither of them have labels and they don't seem to do anything.
Except for these two items, it looks just like the official MS version. I don't see any brand markings on it anywhere.
I didn't realize it's not an official Microsoft one until I tried using it, and it doesn't work particularly well. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. The TV codes off the xbox.com site do not work at all. Once I realized that it wasn't an official remote, I then put more thought into it and it doesn't feel real high quality, it's very light and the buttons are kinda crappy feeling.
Is this a crappy HK knockoff? Does this sound like any third part brand you're familiar with?
