jhsrennie,
That was extremely helpful. Thank you!

The WM_APPCOMMAND mapping is a standard part of Eden (obviously Windows build only) and applies to anything that generates multimedia keypresses. At some point I plan to rewrite the Wiki stuff on input mapping.

Left click issue is back again with my replacement remote (range issue wasn't resolved either)... :/. Is it in any way useful to return the remote, or will I get a replacement that has the range- and left click issue again?!

Am curious about this myself as my replacement has also developed the left click issue, the right click is also on the way out too

This is just to expensive to me, when for the same price you could get two of these... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UE52ME/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details

You can't control your TV with the Rii. That makes this worth the extra.
If only it worked as advertised. I too am holding off on sending mine in for replacement until I see confirmation that these issues are resolved.
I do think that Pulse Eight is doing a solid job on the support front - they're offering to reimburse the shipping costs, which most companies won't do these days. Hopefully Motorola can get their shit together soon.

My replacement has exactly the same problems as the first one I got. But I do not want to wait months for a fully working version, or send my faulty one back again to receive another one to send back after a week. Then I'd rather buy something else for the money spent. Maybe Pulse eight could give us a date on which a fully working remote can be shipped, so I can decide to ask for a refund or wait?

Can this control an atv2

Yep. The IR part can learn the Apple Remote, and the keyboard part is seen as a standard bluetooth keyboard, which works on jailbroken ATV2s and XBMC: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=92386
So, all functions should work. Pulse Eight even started selling a Rii clone as an alternative for ATV2 users. I think they should go with this one instead *hint hint nudge nudge*

If any of you Nyxboard users use the nightly builds, could you try the build XBMCSetup-20111119-f8d48da-master.exe or later. I've rewritten a bit of the code that handles input from the Nyxboard to work round an obscure bug. It works on my PCs, but it would be nice to get this well tested before the v11.0 beta starts.
There's nothing novel to test; it's more a matter of checking I haven't broken anything!
Thanks,
JR

Will do
Anything in particular we should be watching/looking for?

Mainly that it all works.
The way you create Nyxboard specific key mappings has changed. The keyboard.nyboard.xml file has gone, and if you look in the install directory\system\keymaps you'll now see there's a nyxboard sub-directory with a small keyboard.xml in it. XBMC now reads the standard mappings then merges in anything it finds in the keymaps/nyxboard subdirectory. This means there is a lot less duplication of mappings.
If you want to add custom Nyxboard mappings to your userdata folder create the subdirectory userdata\keymaps\nyxboard and put your extra mappings in there.
You longer need to need to add name="Motorola Nyxboard Hybrid" to the <keyboard> tag in your key mapping files. If you have key mapping files with the name=".." attribute they will still work because the "name" attribute is just ignored.
All this will be documented when (or before) Eden is released.

build f8d48da working just fine for me with my existing key mapping file.
The STOP button still does bugger all though (OSX)
Also, I've just put a fresh set of batteries in because it was starting to miss key presses quite a lot, it benefited from the fresh batteries, which is good news. The appalling news is that it seemingly killed the other fresh set in about two weeks, which is majorly excessive.
Looks like there's a gap in the market for another custom remote that includes an inductive charging pad

The stop button sends the same keypress as the stop key on a multimedia keyboard. I didn't realise this does nothing on OSX. Do you (or any other OSX users reading this) have a multimedia keyboard? If so, does the stop button work on the keyboard?
