Also, are you using the remote with Windows 7? Because many reviewers said that they had compatibility problems with it, when using it with W7.

I'm using it with Windows 7 x64, yes.

And to get it to PROPERLY work with XBMC, I had to download the file "InstallXBMCLauncher.exe". That made it so the Windows Media Center launch button, launches XBMC instead. After that, it works flawlessly with XBMC and Windows 7 x64.

I know, I'm just saying most remotes are universal.

ahh ok. Thank you for clearing that up. I thought you had meant key bound, as in wired. (I didn't think of keybound as in key functions.)

One of my friends owns one of these Pro-Mini Remotes. It works pretty well as it has the full keyboard with alternates and a "mouse" trackpad. It lets you control the computer basically like you would at your desk or if you had a wireless input set.

Honestly that keyboard is amazing. I never knew that they even made them that small!!

I just ordered pone from amazon, since this would pretty much solve the problem.

I also like that it is about the same size as, if not smaller then a remote control. smile.gif
