Below the Desktop button is the Application Launcher and under the Max/Restore button is the Task Switcher, which I will explain further in this review. Underneath the Windows key is an unmarked button which launches the Multi-Median program that ships with the iMON. The program acts as an interface between a DVD player, Music player, as well as a few more functions. The centre portion of the remote features a thumb controller, which will move the mouse across the Windows desktop. By pushing downward on the thumb controller is the equivalent to pushing enter on a keyboard. Circling the thumb controller are various buttons that reflect keyboard or mouse buttons. The top center switches between the mouse or keyboard functions, the two on the sides are Tab and Shift Tab and below are the mouse functions, such as left click, right click and drag & drop functions. The last three remaining buttons are functions which control Mute, Volume Up and Volume Down. The bottom of the remote features application buttons that will work with most DVD or media programs and allows you to control functions such as Play, Stop, Pause, Rewind, Forward and application full screen mode.

The IrDA unit measures approximately 1.5 meters and is connected via a USB interface and cable. The unit is capable of receiving signals from 15 meters away at an angle of 45° from any side. If you wish to custom mount this unit in a wider area for access, there are a series of pilot holes on the bottom to accomplish this task.

The iMON Universal IR Remote Control Device includes a software installation CD as well as a simple instruction sheet. The instruction sheet is accompanied by set of reference diagrams which simplify the installation process. All that is required is to plug the IrDA unit into any spare USB port and install the application software. In order to use the remote control, there are also two AAA batteries included in the package.
