<div style><br></div><div style>Also when they get low on batteries they tend to go a bit crazy ;key keeps repeating, even though the batteries in the remote are removed.</div><div style><br></div><div style>I've also tried the bluetooth ng on google code. (<a href="https://code.google.com/p/bdremote-ng/">https://code.google.com/p/bdremote-ng/</a>) This has similar problems. </div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I've got 3xfrontends and 3x PS3 remotes with 3 different bluetooth adaptors. </div><div style><br></div><div style><br></div></div>
