Alongside the Bose VideoWave, Bose has added remote control, which is part of the VideoWave package. While this may not sound quite as exciting as a massive telly with subwoofer and Bose sound built in, it’s actually a very functional addition to the Bose line up.
The Bose Clickpad remote is designed to pull all your functions into one place. It’s got a touch sensitive area, and a few select hardware buttons: a volume control, channel up and down, source and back button. The Bose ClickPad uses RF technology too, which means you don’t need to aim at the devices, so they can all be stashed away.
The Bose ClickPad touch sensitive area brings up an interface one the screen, which frames whatever’s playing, and mirrors the shape of the touch sensitive part of the remote. It displays controls, such as play, pause, skip etc, plus sources, menus and guides, but only what is available, not anything you don’t have plugged in. Scroll around the edge of the screen and it’s a haptic click to select.
Unfortunately, the Bose ClickPad remote will only be available with the Bose VideoWave system, although for Bose, it looks as though the ClickPad remote will be the standard remote for future Bose products.
