hi guys i have purchased a few flirc devices and just waiting for them to arrive from the US
i am looking for a remote to use with them and xbmc i want to do pretty much what i can with a mouse such as navigate to movie,tv,etc... go back to main menu or previous screen and also bring up the right click menu to mark shows or movies as watched or to scan a particular folder for new content
does anyone know a good remote for this i am not looking for a real flashy one just a basic remote that will do these functions i am looking for one under
$50 AUD
i have seen on ebay Logitech Harmony 600 for $29
650 for $39
700 for $49
i am not sure if any of these remotes will do what i mentioned above or if they are even good remotes to begin with i have heard the Harmony One mentioned a lot on here but it is 3 times what i want to spend
here is the xbmc wiki http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Rem...ol_Reviews
i also found these original MCE Remotes for $19.90

it doesn't come with the reciever but seeing as i am getting the Flircs it doesn't really matter according to the Wiki these are good
here is a picture of the board saying it is a microsoft one (i think it is the no learning remote though not sure how this effects its use with xbmc)
