<p>I have bought one and received it. The solutions available to use this with myth seem to be<br>
1 reconfigure the key mappings to match the remote as the remote appears as a USB keyboard (however the remote uses media keys such as volume+/- and I am unsure if the key mapping supports this)<br>
2. Use lirc to grab the device, intercept the key presses and redirect them. However... the device appears as a single hid device but there are two discrete functions. When on the remote side we want translation to occur and when on the keyboard side we will not want any input translation. I understand that a signal is sent when the remote is turned over which we may be able to use to turn the input translation on and off (especially if the signal use for being turned over to remote side and keyboard side is different)<br>
3. Use the remote in IR mode and the keyboard as a hid device. This is surely the simplest solution but requires an ir receiver and an ref receiver.</p>
<p>Any other ideas.</p>

I'm really thinking about picking one of these up. I'm currently<br>
using a ATI RemoteWonder because in my projector setup, my MCE remote<br>
wouldn't reach across the room, and back. I picked up a PS3 BD remote<br>
because of some of the issues that come with the ATI, and I managed to<br>
get it working, but every time it would timeout and disconnect, it was<br>
a huge process to get it working, again.<br>
<br>
If I do buy one, and get it working well, I'll report back.<br>
