The remote is an Air Mouse as shown on the wiki:
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Air_mouse_rf_remote
It's RF and connects via USB receiver.
lirc is not installed
Here's what I just did.  In Settings -> Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts.
I added a shortcut to run mate-calc if I pressed my remotes >|| button. It
created the short cut noting that the key would be the AudioPlay. However
this didn't work as something else has captured the AudioPlay button.
That's why mythfrontend can't set that button to pause.
