With the fast and exponential rise of technology, more and more Smart Devices have been integrated into their daily lives. These gadgets obviously include all of the personal devices that we use on a daily basis, such as our Smartphones, tablets, PCs and laptops, which people not only use for entertainment purposes, but obviously, for work purposes too. Now, with so many devices taking such an important role throughout our daily routine(s), it’s inevitable that the display screens on our devices eventually get some unwanted fingerprint smudges. Moreover, our arms and hands can easily get tired after using those devices for long hours on end, and we can also end up with a poor posture after long periods of screen-time. Lastly, our productivity also tends to drop during a presentation or while reading an E-book, as we we’re obviously required to flip through our presentation’s pages or scroll through our E-book’s chapters in order to respectively keep presenting or reading. In order to make your entire “Connected-Life” a whole lot easier, consider getting yourself the the bluetium LitZERO.
The bluetium LitZERO is a portable smart Bluetooth touch remote controller that can be used to control just about any smart device by simple touch gestures, including Smartphones, iPads, tablets, PCs and laptops.
Featuring a whooping 72 hours of battery life on a single charge and 5 different Modes that are suitable for all purposes and to control just about any smart device, the LitZERO Smart Bluetooth Touch Remote Controller can be used as a Computer Mouse, as a Multimedia Controller, as an E-Book Controller, as a Presentation Remote and as a Directional Key and Mouse via its Experiment Lab Mode.
With this simple, yet innovative smart Bluetooth touch controller, you can more easily control any of your personal devices during any sort of task, whether you’re working or studying, driving, working out, cooking, or anything else in between.
Now, let’s have a more detailed look at this awesome smart “lifestyle” gadget and check out everything that the bluetium LitZERO has to offer you in order to improve your quality of life.
DESIGN & BASIC SPECS
Starting with the device’s size, the bluetium LitZERO comes at an extremely compact size, measuring just 2.04 inches in diameter by just 0.23 inches thick (52 x 6 mm), and the device is also quite lightweight, weighing just a meager 0.70 oz. (20 g).
Featuring a very simple, ultra-minimalist, and extraordinarily modern design, the bluetium LitZERO is as discrete as you can hope for. Additionally, the device also features a very durable construction, as it is made of really high-quality plastic materials.
Moreover, don’t think that this is just for your typical Millennial person, as this smart Bluetooth touch remote controller is truly designed to be used by anyone, and that even includes blind / visually impaired people.
That’s because the LitZERO also integrates several Braille imprints throughout its body that can help help out the visually impaired to more easily and much more conveniently use the device. (Note that this is already the 2nd-generation of the LitZERO, as the integration of these Braille imprints is a huge upgrade from the 1st-generation of this device).
Last but not least, as the LitZERO is designed to improve your quality of life when it comes to using all of your smart devices, the company also thought about including some very handy accessories.
The first set of accessories include a Velcro Loop Sticker and Velcro Loop Srap, which allow users to attach their LitZERO to a backpack, a bag, or even their clothing.
In addition, each package also comes with a Metallic O-Ring that users can use to attach their LitZERO to any large key-chain, one of your pant’s belt-straps, a backpack strap, or anything else that you can think of.
CONNECTIVITY
For its Connectivity functions, since the LitZERO works as a smart Bluetooth touch remote controller, it uses Bluetooth 4.2 as its connectivity method in order to establish a wireless connection between the device itself and any of your personal smart devices.
The LitZERO’s Bluetooth wireless connection can withstand a maximum connection range of up to 49.21 ft. (15 m).
Finally, it’s also worth mentioning that the LitZERO features a Multi-Pairing function, meaning that it supports Bluetooth Connectivity to multiple devices at the same time. That said, you can pair it with up to 8 devices at once.
COMPATIBILITY
Now, for the device’s compatibility, as long as your trying to connect the LitZERO with a smart device that’s equipped with standard Bluetooth technology, then any of those devices will be 100% compatible with this smart Bluetooth touch controller.
That includes any Android devices (running on Android 5.0 and up), any IOS devices (running on iOS 13 and up), any computer or laptop running on Windows 10 or above, and any MacOS device.
In addition to that, know that this smart Bluetooth touch controller is also pairable with all of the most popular Smartphones Apps released to date, whether those are designed for Android or for iOS.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
Since this smart Bluetooth touch controller is meant to be portable and work wirelessly, the device also comes equipped with a 3.7V 140mAh (0.518W) Lithium-Ion Battery that can offer you up to 3 days of battery life (72 hours) on a single charge. That’s actually an outstandingly long usage time for a smart Bluetooth controller such as this one.
Moreover, if users actually turn the device On only when they actually require to use it, you’ll really be able to make it last close to 3 days. (Note that this is based on 100 touches / interactions with the device during each hour).
Last but not least, if the device is turned Off, its battery-charge can ultimately last you for up to 30 days.
This 2nd-generation of the LitZERO also comes equipped with a built-in USB-C Charging port (found at the bottom-side of the device), and as such, the device support Fast Charging, which allows its battery to be fully charged from 0% back to full-power (100%) just within an hour.
Whenever the LitZERO’s internal battery is running low on power and needs to be recharged, the device’s built-in LED Lights will flash with a Red color.
Alternatively, during its charging-time, as soon as the device’s battery is fully charged, the device’s built-in LED Lights will flash with a Blue color.
DIFFERENT MODES / SMART FUNCTIONALITIES & POSSIBLE CONTROLS
Moving on to the LitZERO’s many different smart functionalities. Now, as said earlier, the LitZERO is designed to work as a smart Bluetooth touch remote controller, and as such, the device also comes equipped with a set of High-Sensitivity Static Touchpads, which are exactly what allow this smart Bluetooth touch controller, to sense its user’s fingers.
To be a little more specific, these High-Sensitivity Static Touchpads can accurately sense over 80 touches a second, thus allowing the device to instantly respond to any of its user’s touch-based inputs.
Not only that, but whenever a user inputs a touch pattern, a signal intaking algorithm allows LitZERO to output up to 12 different Touch Gestures or different coordinates throughout the device’s body.
These gestures can include:
- Swipe (gently swiping your thumb through the device’s Touch-surface)
- Move and Pause (starting to swipe from an edge of the device’s body and then stopping at its central Braille imprint)
- Single Tap (lightly touching the device’s central Braille imprint)
- Double Tap (quickly touching the device’s central Braille imprint twice)
- Pause at Center (touching the device’s central Braille imprint for more than 1 second – to differentiate from a simple Single Tap)
- Palm (widely covering a large area of the device’s Touch-surface with a large portion of your palm – meaning “palming” the device)
Different Functionality Modes
As mentioned before, the bluetium LitZERO supports a total of 5 different Modes that are suitable for all purposes and to control just about any smart device, and as such, you can use the LitZERO Smart Bluetooth Touch Remote Controller as a Computer Mouse, as a Multimedia Controller, as an E-Book Controller, as a Presentation Remote and as a Directional Key and Mouse via its Experiment Lab Mode.
Mouse Mode
For its first mode, this smart Bluetooth touch remote controller can be used as a Mouse for your PC or laptop, allowing you to move your PC’s mouse cursor just like you would with a standard PC mouse, as well as click with the cursor and also scroll up and down any sort of document or webpage.
Specifically for its Mouse-Clicking functionality, the device comes equipped with a small built-in Clickable Button that can be found at the left side of the unit.
Multimedia Controller Mode
For its Multimedia Controller Mode, the LitZERO can be used to control your Smartphone, more specifically for listening and controlling your music, as well as for answering an incoming phone call whenever your hands are busy.
Last but not least, it can also be used for taking Pictures (Selfies included) with your Smartphone’s Camera (which is also done by using the unit’s built-in Clickable Button).
E-Book / Video Mode
Moreover, the LitZERO can also be set to work as an E-Book Controller, with support to simple Scrolling and Dragging functions for reading any sort of content, whether that’s webpages, E-Books, webcomics, stories, etc.
Thanks to that, you can very easily flip through your pages in a completely digital and hassle-free manner by just using simple gestures instead of you having to physically go up and touch your device’s screen. Those same gestures can also be used to check out online video courses, as well as to watch Netflix and YouTube.
Presentation Remote Mode / Page Mode
The LitZERO also boasts a Page Mode that allows you to use it as your dedicated Presentation Remote for page flipping during any lecture or business meeting presentations, as the device is programmed for Keynotes, PDFs, documents, memos, other apps.
That said, you can use it with simple gestures to go through the content of any sort of digital document and without ever again having to recur to using a bulky mouse or a pointer, whether that’s for presenting a Microsoft PowerPoint document or any type of written content on any other sort of application (PDF, .txt, etc.).
Experiment Lab Mode
Finally, the LitZERO also boasts one special mode called Experiment Lab Mode where the device is mapped to work with a directional Directional Key and Mouse, which basically allows you to move and run any Apps that are visible on Android OS as well as control any videos that you want to watch on your device.
This Experiment Lab Mode will also allows users to start mapping their keys via the LitZERO’s dedicated Smartphone Companion App, which we’ll discuss in detail right ahead.
THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP – The LitAPP
The LitZERO’s dedicated Smartphone Companion App, which called the LitApp, is available to download for free for both iOS and Android phones. As a side note, I’d like to reiterate that the LitAPP is designed specifically for Smartphones, and not for any other sort of personal devices.
Via the LitAPP, users are offered multiple different functions that allow them to use their LitZERO at a whole next level.
At the LitAPP’s Main Menu, users are informed about the device’s remaining battery level as well as about its current Bluetooth signal connectivity (both in real-time).
Moreover, the App also allows users to find their Smartphone, configure their Music Settings, and also features One-Touch App Activation, as well as find their LitZERO device via their Smartphone and the LitAPP and also check their Smartphone’s Feedback Settings to Lit Input.
Finally, users can also configure a Lit Alarm Setting for whenever the device becomes far way from their Smartphone (potentially avoiding users to forget or even lose the device by leaving it behind somewhere), as well as configure multiple Lit Disconnection Alarm Settings (for whenever the device’s Bluetooth Wireless Connection is disrupted).
