Adesso ARC-1100 - Remote control - infrared Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great remote for controlling an HTPC. It's not going to replace your TV remote (nor will it even be able to turn on/off your TV), but it lets you control and launch media applications like a pro.
I use an application called "Eventghost" ([...]) to trigger actions based on which buttons I push. This is how I use the remote to launch Mediaportal, for example.
Once inside your application, it has very sane defaults for controlling playback.
It sends 4 or 5 different key combinations with each button push; there is no native software to control that. But paired with Eventghost you have customization, which is a good thing.
Being able to control the mouse as well is also a win. It's kind of slow, but it works just fine and it's great to have that versatility.
There are three different zones on the remote: mouse (bottom), control (middle), playback (top).

Wireless USB IR PC MCE Remote Control with laser pointer for PC Laptop, windows media center suppot with Windows 7 Vista w/ Wireless mouse functions (up to 33ft) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the absolute worst remote control that I have ever owned or operated. I spent $13.00 on this remote and $7.00 for shipping. The remote came with a dead battery so I had to go to Radio Shack and spend $5.00 plus tax on a Lithium CR 2025 battery. After investing $25.00 into a this remote control and struggling to comprehend the instructions that were written in broken English, I quickly discovered that the remote not only works intermittently, but only works within two feet of the usb receiver which renders it worthless for the purpose for which it is intended. This product is virtually worthless. I looks like I got what I paid for. I suggest to anyone looking for a computer remote control to spend at least $50 to get a remote control that actually works.

PC Media Center Remote Control with Infrared USB Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some ppl seem to think that this should be like the 75-100$ remotes... This it is not.
The manual is weak, a bad translation from Chinese with many errors... Big deal - it works.
If you have Windows XP, Vista or 7 (32 and 64 bit) just plug it in and it works. The computer sees it as a keyboard/mouse. A little searching will find the key codes for the 'special' function buttons and you can always use AutohotKey (which is free) to get them to do -whatever- PC task you had in mind.
This is far better (and cheaper) than some of the DIY solutions I've previously used. If you really know your way around Windows then this is for you.

Windows 7 Vista XP Media Center MCE PC Remote Control and Infrared Receiver for Home, Premium and Ultimate Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This remote connects easily and works well for Windows Media Center. However, I bought this for use with XBMC only to discover that this is not truly a "remote"; It simulates keyboard presses instead, which means that an advanced remote config program such as EventGhost cannot be used as it does not identify almost all of the buttons on the remote. This is dissapointing because It cannot be remapped to work for a custom program (ie controlling winamp, itunes, XBMC, etc). If you are buying this for purely Windows Media Center, than go for it. It's a great deal. If you want something more out of your remote, then look elsewhere.

Noah Company MediaGate GP-IR02BK Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate MCE Remote Control, 2 Channel IR (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This remote seems to work well for the basic MCE functionality, but it has some issues that hamper its usability (for me.)
First, the "learning" feature that's been mentioned elsewhere. The MS remote for MCE has the ability to "learn" to turn your TV on/off, and to adjust the volume on your stereo (or TV.) This remote mentions such a feature in the manual ("if available"), but the version sold here doesn't actually have this feature. Having to juggle three remotes gets cumbersome, especially when the "standard" MCE remote doesn't have this problem.
Second is response time. As implied in my previous paragraph, I also have an MS MCE remote. The MS remote/receiver is quite responsive. With this remote you have to hold down each button longer for it to "register" as a button-click with the receiver. At first I thought it was an issue with the remote itself, but I later realized it's an issue with the receiver. (The receiver that came with this remote will work with the MS remote, but it still has a "sluggish" response time. No such issue if I go back to the MS receiver.) If you're used to clicking through menus (or commercials) quickly, this gets aggravating because it doesn't register some of your clicks.
Finally, this remote is extremely lightweight. It has no heft to it. This might actually be a good thing if it weren't for the learning issue, but since I'm not actually using the remote for its intended purpose, this means I can't even use it as a paperweight on my coffee table.

Wireless USB PC Remote Control Mouse for PC Review

(More customer reviews)Got a Logitech Harmony universal remote? Want to control your home theater pc with it along with everything else in your living room? Then this is the remote you want. I actually only needed the IR adapter and i was able to control my pc with the Logitech Harmony 880. I tried the remote pictured here and it works perfectly but i didn't need it. If you want a cheap IR to control your HTPC then here is a good solution. Oh and to program the Harmony to work with it you'll need the model name and number which is: Chinavision CVSB-983
