Co-Star Remote

I love my Vizio Co-Star. The remote is great, with one hitch. Using my thumbpad (for Chrome, etc.) the cursor moves effortlessly, but I have trouble making a "selection". If the cursor is on a link or button, it takes me 5-6 tries of tapping (hard, soft, it doesn't matter) for it to actually make the selection. Is there another way to do it? I was hoping that I could "select" by pressing the center of the 5-way pad, but that doesn't work. Any words of wisdom?

BTW, I've had my Co-Star for several months. Love that fact that with the recent op system upgrade and more and more GTV apps being available, this thing is really starting to feel great. GTV finally coming into it's own! They are even FINALLY getting more and more movies in the Play store. I love this thing! Also, the Open Launcher app is perfect and greatly improves the experience.

 

IS anyone else having this problem?
