I've answered that one a few hundred times it feels like. Yes its a HID device (i.e. a standard keyboard) so just enable it in the bios.

Malard Wrote:Hi,

Just to clear this up, we received 45 on Tuesday, which we shipped 44, (we retained one) this covered orders up to number 62~

We are expecting another 55 next week which will all ship out the day we get them.

A further 3000 are due at between then and the end of the month(ish) with a further 7000 due at the end of August.

I don't think I can be any more concrete on those numbers.
Sweet! that means you'll be covering up to order 117~ ish... I'm 93. Did they ship yet? I hope it gets here in time for my birthday on the 22nd. The gift of pure awesome.

No the 55, we are still waiting for, I'm trying to follow up this weekend to see if the factory have shipped them.

Thanks, but you are correct. although a few people did order 2 or 3 in a single go so that reduces the order number

Alright, still looking forward to it. Also, I think I said before... If you run into any quality issues... breakage, partially inoperative, returns in poor condition, smells funny, dosn't quite taste right...... Send it my way, and I'll do like I did with Santa here...

... ok, there's not that much to work with in a remote, but I'd give it a good work over.

argh, more delays. i cannot wait any longer! Eek

Nice work on that Santa outleradam!

I got my remote yesterday but havent had the chance to test it out properly yet :/


- outleradam - 2011-07-20

^^ Thanks!

I live in the middle of nowhere, so mail takes a long time. What was your order number that you got yesterday?


- japius - 2011-07-21

The wait is agonizing...seems like years ago I ordered.......for the lucky few who have one...whats it like?


- strick - 2011-07-21

My order number was 23, so I guess I got from the first shipment.

I tried the remote little bit yesterday, and I have a good feeling about it. Had some small issues with xbmc sometimes not responding to keypresses, but I think that is a signal issue due to the placement of my htpc.

Thanks for the feed back, if you have any issues you believe is a fault of the product, get in touch with pulse-eight support

Thanks

One of the people who already has a NYXboard posted a review on the website: http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/96-motorola-nyxboard-remote-designed-for-xbmc.aspx if you want to see what they think!

good review Smile nice to know what to expect... although i thought it had a sensor to know which way is up and prevent accidental keyboard presses? maybe the reviewer skipped that part... i would expect the "home" button to take me home? didn't you mention there would be a drop in keyboard.xml?

i shall have to be a little more patient being order no. 200 and something!!


- dan991199 - 2011-07-21

just ordered one today. probably should have looked into how delayed some people are in receiving before i picked the express shipping :/ oh well.

if you want to revise it, let me know we can help out, just send an email. The express shipping is still a good option as you will get it ahead of when everyone gets theirs!

Yes, there is a mechanical tilt sensor inside , so I'm as confused as you about that comment, unfortunately the reviewer did not leave their email address so I have no way to contact them.

In all my testing I couldn't make an accidental key press happen!

Also, the Home key, that's fixed in mainline and will be part of Eden when it comes out, until then, you can grab the keyboard.nyxboard.xml file from the git repository and rename it keyboard.xml we will host instructions and this file in due course on the Pulse-Eight website
