SofaBaton Introduces U3, an Air Mouse Universal Remote for Streaming-First Living Rooms

2026-05-18 20:00 Last Updated At:20:15

NEW YORK, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SofaBaton today introduced the SofaBaton U3, an Air Mouse universal remote designed for streaming-first living rooms. It will be available through SofaBaton's official website beginning May 18, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET.

The idea behind U3 is simple: the living room has changed, but the remote has not. Many households now move between Apple TV, Fire TV, Google TV, Xbox, soundbars, and TVs throughout the week. U3 brings those controls into one handheld remote, with a 2.4-inch LCD screen that lets users see and switch between configured devices.

"Modern living rooms now move between streaming, gaming, and smart TV interfaces every day, but many remotes still feel designed for a different era," said a SofaBaton spokesperson. "U3 is built to bring those controls into one handheld remote, with Air Mouse navigation and app-based customization that make everyday entertainment easier to manage."

The headline feature is Air Mouse navigation. On compatible Bluetooth-connected devices, users can move an on-screen cursor with natural hand movement, making app browsing and interface control feel more direct than traditional directional buttons.

U3 also supports customizable macros for everyday routines, such as switching from streaming to gaming or setting up a movie-night sequence. For compatible Bluetooth-connected devices with native Google Assistant support, U3 adds Google voice control for search and supported voice commands.

SofaBaton U3 lets users add compatible IR devices, pair supported BLE/BT devices, and use RF433/RF315 learning for compatible RF-controlled devices through the SofaBaton app. IR control requires line-of-sight unless used with SofaBaton's optional R1 Repeater, sold separately. Air Mouse and Google voice features depend on the connected device's Bluetooth support, and Google voice is not compatible with Apple TV Siri, Fire TV Alexa, or non-Bluetooth infrared devices.

U3 includes USB-C charging, a charging dock for everyday placement, a 1200mAh Li-Polymer battery, and up to three weeks of battery life depending on usage.

SofaBaton U3 will be available May 18, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. ET. Consumers can secure a limited $99.99 early bird price on the SofaBaton U3 Launch Page, before it moves to the regular $129.99 retail price.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For users who need more than basic capture, demand remains for dedicated professional scanning apps that combine high-quality scanning with document editing, text recognition, format conversion, and AI-assisted document processing.

That continuing demand is reflected in CamScanner's development over more than 16 years. The company has focused on improving the scanning experience while expanding the ways users can work with documents after capture.

At the capture stage, CamScanner has continued to refine the fundamentals of professional scanning. Its Auto Cropping capability helps identify and frame the page being scanned, while image processing addresses practical issues that can affect scan quality, including blur, shadows, glare, show-through, moiré patterns, and distracting backgrounds. Multi-page scanning and optimization for different document types further support users working with documents in different formats and situations.

The next layer is turning a captured image into usable information. Through Text Recognition, CamScanner can extract text from scanned documents and support subsequent tasks such as document editing and format conversion. This allows a scan to become more than a static image, making the information within it easier to access and work with.

From there, CamScanner extends into broader document processing. Its PDF capabilities support editing, conversion, merging, splitting, compression, signing, and sharing, connecting document capture with the tasks that often follow. CS AI further expands this workflow by providing AI-assisted ways to work with document content, helping users process and use information more efficiently. Rather than treating each function as an isolated tool, these capabilities are built around the document, allowing users to move between scanning, recognition, processing, and sharing according to their needs.

Dedicated professional scanning apps continue to improve the scanning experience while expanding their document-processing capabilities. CamScanner remains focused on both the quality and efficiency of document capture and the growing range of tasks surrounding the document. As user needs become increasingly diverse, professional scanning extends beyond digitizing paper to helping users recognize, edit, process, manage, and use the information within their documents.
