Re: Wireless Remote for XBMC?



When I used xbmc on a windows box I used HAL and a cheap rf remote I
got
from a fair and used XBMC's keymap config to setup the keys.

I now currently use a x10 wireless Windows MediaCentre remote branded
Packard Bell under linux and have maped its keys using lirc & XBMC's
keymap=
.

both worked just as well but the MCE remote just looks a lot nicer.
