Ocustar IR Universal Remote Adapter vs VANTIYAUS USB-C IR Remote Adapter
Both are tiny USB-C IR blasters that turn an Android phone into a remote, and they are physically near-identical: same aluminum-alloy body, same 3.9 g weight, same silicone sleeve, same 10-meter class range. The Ocustar is the safer pick because it is MFi certified and lists iOS support alongside Android, while the VANTIYAUS is Android-only. Neither has a written warranty, and both need OTG enabled on some phones. Buy the Ocustar if you want the broader device support; the VANTIYAUS only makes sense if you are Android-only and want the simpler single-purpose unit.
- Choose the Ocustar if you want MFi certification and iOS support alongside Android in one adapter.
- Choose the VANTIYAUS if you only use Android and want a plain USB-C IR blaster with no extra platform claims.
