This is what I have seen on two remotes. IR left arrow is fine, RF left arrow needs a firmer press (RF left arrow on keyboard side is fine)
And it is a completely different issue to this;

As I have said previous, I can get 5m away, through a stud wall, and the remote behaves in the exact same way as if I were a few inches away. The left click
-EaS- describes is not a "range issue".

BT Programmer?

I bought it because I wanted an RF device to control XBMC which would also be able to replace my TV remote (at least be able to turn it off) and not require to be pointed at the receiver. It's reasonable for me to expect it to do all that.
My remote both operates XBMC as you wanted, and replaces my TV remote (including turns the tv on/off) and it also replaces my Sky+ remote.
I can also close down XBMC if I want to.
So yes, I guess it is reasonable for you to expect it to do all that, as I have two remotes doing that and more.
As for launching XBMC as an application from the remote, this is obviously something you would have to configure on the computer, not the remote.
For one XBMC is cross platform, and there will also be various other software installed that could interfere. How would this be possible from a £40 remote, at least without configuring something on the PC first?
As designed, the remote sleeps and resumes a PC perfectly, but I didnt want this functionality, so I disabled it.
I think people are really over thinking what a remote is supposed/be able to do, all that can be asked of it is for each button to send a unique code.
With regards to the more specific functionality within XBMC, as we have seen in this thread, the people who have worked out how to customise buttons using a keymap.xml - none have been the same. And this is exactly why the un-marked buttons (coloured) and such are user definable.
And its still not specifically a left handed remote, no matter how I look at it it.
Also did anyone pick up on this, it may be important?
SkItZo Wrote:Ok, got the remote today, First time i installed it i didnt have the batteries in the remote and connected the dongle. The dongle installed as a Nyxboard Remote 2.4GHz device and after adding the batteries to the remote i was having all sorts of range problems (limited to about 1 meter,) the keyboard side was non responsive or would repeat button presses (even though i only pressed the button once.) I then disconnected the dongle from the back and plugged it into the front port and it installed as a USB Composite Device/USB Compliant Device and the remote functioned much better, the keyboard functioned correctly and the range problems were solved. I removed the dongle from the front and I then restored my windows OS (7 x64) from a saved image. Once it had restored i ensured batteries were in the remote, connected the dongle at the back and it installed as a USB Composite Device/USB Compliant Device and is working as could be expected.
