<div>I'd heard Flircs are great so I bought one. I was
actually disappointed. I didn't find it very simple to set
up and I couldn't really work out how to get every key on my
remote mapped to something. I found it easier to use my old
MCE USB remote and devinput to send keyboard strokes from my
Harmony 650 remote. So the Flirc is sitting in its original
wrapping on a shelf :(</div>

<div>I'm happy to accept this may just be me missing the point
of the Flirc as everyone else seems to love them! </div>

You are not alone. I did not like mine either. For me, the FLIRC
is designed backwards. I need to program a keyboard key value for
each remote control button, assigning the same keyboard key value to
more than one remote button, but it does not work that way. You can
only assign a given keyboard key value to one remote control
button. Mine sits on a shelf too. I find a full wireless
keyboard/mouse combo works better anyway - and can be used for web
browsing, email, and system administration too.<br>
