RECOILWaterproof Bluetooth Media Button Steering Wheel Remote Control for Car Bike Motorbike Boat Powersports Compatible iPhone 16 Pro/16 Samsung Galaxy or Any Android Device

I just bought this so I can't speak about longevity but I wanted to share information I wish I could have found more easily before buying! I'm on a Pixel 9, so this pertains to Android.- Connects as an input device. It does not interfere with your earbuds connection, and controls on your earbuds will also still work. You might need to click an option on-screen to tell Android you want to see the on-screen keyboard even though you have an input device connected. No big deal.- There's a button at the top of the device you hold to pair. If you single tap it the camera app opens, and then pressing the volume buttons take photos.- Holding the play/pause button requests the assistant (e.g. Google Gemini) when your phone is unlocked and when it's locked, though you have to enable that in the assistant settings - that's normal android stuff.- Play/Pause, volume up/down, next/prev track all seem to work as you'd expect. In addition, at least on Play Music, holding the next/prev track buttons performs a short seek forwards or backwards.- If you have Personal Safety set up on your phone to handle an emergency when you press the phone power button 5 times, be aware that pressing the pairing button on this controller 5 times (6 if it needs to reconnect first) will do the same thing. I didn't know this originally, and ended up calling 911 while I was just trying to reactivate this buttons. Oops!- It's a good size for fitting inside a glove or just holding so you don't have to mess with your earbud controls constantly.- Yes, it's hard to see except in good light. Recoil seems to have other models with different color schemes but Amazon doesn't seem to stock them yet. I will probably add some white paint on mine.- It does have a USB mini slot for charging, USB C would have been much nicer.- Haven't tried mounting it, won't be using it like that personally.All in all, an excellent solution for people who like to walk/hike/bike/skate/skii.Update after a week of use:- The fact that it's round makes it incredibly difficult to know what buttons you're pressing if you have this inside a glove in the cold. I may have to modify mine. The manufacturer should include a case to add some easy to hold and identify orientation shape to this.- I wish there was protection against holding the volume up button. Because I couldn't tell which button was under my thumb inside my glove I held volume up instead of the assistant button and blew my ears out. That's bad, especially since the buttons are right next to each other. There's no reason you'd need to hold volume up, that should be disabled by the manufacturer.- It really is brutally hard to see the button graphics in dim light.- I haven't experienced any of the battery life issues some reviewers talk about, and I wonder if they had a stuck button preventing the device from sleeping.

Pros: Build quality and connectivity is great. Easily and quickly connects to my android phone. Responsive tactile buttons. Does make a clicking sound with each press (not silent press if that is what you need, but click not that loud or annoying).Cons: Bracket totally useless as many others have commented. Difficult to snap device onto the mounting bracket. Even when it is snapped in, a slight tug will pop it out. No way I would recommend anyone using it as is on their motorcycles or bikes without retro fitting mount with velcro tape or some sort of strong magnetic mount.... The other con is what others have said too. Very difficult to read as dial is all black. A quick glance and you can't tell what button is what. Would have been great if buttons had colored indication icons and/or raised button ridges.Conclusion: With all the cons, I would still recommend it if you're looking for a good remote. I can live with the short comings as I don't need it to be mounted. I have it on the included string as I'm using it as a remote keychain on my bag or jacket. Will work great on active activities like snow blowing/mowing without needing to take out my phone. To get around the visibility con, just brush some acrylic paint into the button grooves. Just enough to cover the recessed button icons, then take a damp paper towel and gently wipe the excess off. As long as towel is moist, it should take off the surface excess and leave the paint in the recessed icon indicators. If you mess up, just use a wet towel and rub it off and start again. Take your time, it's easy. I used a different color for the bluetooth button. Even after it has dried, if you ever wanted to redo with another color, just wet a cloth and rub into the grooves to get paint off and redo. Enclose is my finished product. Was going to record video of me doing the painting, but got lazy. :) Good luck.
