It's quite popular, but it's been on the market for a couple of years now and in need of a refresh.
I'd be interested in knowing what the wider Kodi community think of it and if they have any ideas on how we can improve it.

Hi Sam,
would buy the remote immediately if it would have volume keys and a power key. It should have the possibility to program the Volume keys for any infra-red remote, so we can control the Volume of our TVs/Audio stuff. The power key should have also the possibility to be programmed, but it should have a double function (for example short press for standby of the device, double or "long press" to send the programmed ir). My point of view skip buttons are not needed on your remote, would replace them with volume buttons and the Info key and the Home key I would replace with Power key and maybe a Mute key (Mute key not needed really as we have play/pause). Button wise I prefer smaller hard plastic buttons what I currently have with the Xiaomi bluetooth after market remote.
A good example for me is this FireTV Edition remote, just without the extra Vod-buttons, I know buttons are awfully removed
If this remote would have programmable keys I would buy it immediately without thinking a second So the current OSMC remote is quite near, almost there
I can see us adding volume keys in the short term, but hadn't considered the benefits of programmable IR key before.
I will look in to the feasibility of that, as well as the best way for the remote to learn new keycodes.
Cheers
Sam
