Hi All,
I've got a Geniatech MyGica ATV120 Android stick that I picked up from Futeko for just over GBP40 (http://www.futeko.com/products/MP046.php) which I've used to replace my Linux XBMC box and apart from a few issues all is working fairly well. The one thing that really leaves a lot to desire is the awful remote that is supplied with the box. Whilst it's very small and fairly well laid out it doesn't really work well with XBMC with no play/pause buttons etc.
I'm therefore on the hunt for a good quality (but cheap!) remote for my Android box that is 99% used for XBMC.
I have a Cyberlink remote for my Linux box which I attempted to plugin and use with this but I'm guessing it's not supported at all with Android as KeyTest didn't even pick up any of the keypresses. I'd ideally like something very similar to this as this remote had good spouse acceptance factor.
The one's I've had my eye on so far are:
MELE F10:
Pros; seems to be able to configure all the buttons to work under XBMC via keymap and also seems to look good, is cheap and also has a keyboard on the back.
Cons; not sure on the quality, not sure if you can turn off airmouse function which will mean the arrow flying all over the screen
MEASY RC13:
Pros; cheap, seems to be quite popular, full keyboard
Cons; looks very crowded, fair amount of bad reviews
EGREAT AK64:
Pros; good reviews, nice few button layout, seems to be good quality, also has mic input option.
Cons; XBMC doesn't support mic input, unsure as to how configurable
Any other ones I should consider or any input on the above? Seems there is very little information regarding using a remote for XBMC under Linux on the web...
Thanks!
