Running XBMC 9.1a2 Karmic on a Revo -- looking for suggestions on a MCE RF/IR Remote that works out of the box.

I've been down the Bluetooth PS3 route and an having some issues with my wife outright hating the remote due to the # of buttons on it but am looking for suggestions and/or links.

I prefer if possible to use RF over IF but I dont know if LIRC supports RF out of the box or not (I don't want/have the time to deal with troubleshooting a piece of hardware that has issues with Linux).

Again I appreciate any suggestions and/or links -- I am in the US so likely I would be ordering from Newegg, Amazon, etc...

Shame nobody does a xbmc remote it'd sell like hot cakes.

My MCE remote does the job but the # of buttons annoys me and a lot of them have no use in XBMC.

The philips RC 197 works out of the box as a MCE remote.
It is the only one I could find still for sale.

On the other hand HID devices seem to work better in Karmic than before.

This one is much cheaper...

The cheapest remote from ebay like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/PC-USB-Media-Center-...335774f9cf works with XBMC without any adjustments. The remote itself is somewhat flimsy, I used it to program Logitech Harmony.
