Are you referring to this device?

I bought one at Fry's a while back, plugged in the receiver dongle, and
paired the keyboard and mouse with the receiver.  Since then, it's Just
Worked.  You need CONFIG_USB_HID and CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT enabled in your
kernel.

(I haven't tried doing anything with the presentation controller.  Maybe you
can use it as a simple remote.  My PVR-350 came with a remote with more
buttons on it, though, which is more usable.)
