IIRC, any remote that you can use with lircd can also be used with lircm
(simultaneously)... you can configure any buttons you want as the
direction & left/right mouse buttons. At one point I had this
configured with my Hauppauge WinTV 401 dbx remote & IR sensor. You
configure a single button to transition your remote in/out of "mouse mode".
