Just wondering what people use to control their XBMC (besides the normal mouse and keyboard combo). Please provide links if you can.

I was thinking something like this: logitech air mouse

Seems neat, but a wiimote would be cheaper
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search and search the forum before posting.

DiNovo Mini works well as does the Microsoft MCE remote which is VERY easy to setup. Search, you will find about a dozen threads on this.
Openelec Gotham, MCE remote(s), Intel i3 NUC, DVDs fed from unRAID cataloged by DVD Profiler. HD-DVD encoded with Handbrake to x.264. Yamaha receiver(s)

dandirk,

Do you mean Eventghost? Thought that was Windows only ?

I use the Logitech DiNovo keyboard (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboa...2&cl=US,EN) for my PC-needs on my Ubuntu HTPC and the Harmony (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/remote...2&cl=us,en) remote configured as an MCE remote (http://www.pcalchemy.com/product_info.ph...1a2f3f1908) for my media needs in XBMC and MythTV.

As a remote receiver, I use the IR-receiver in my Antec Fusion Black (http://www.antec.com/usa/productDetails....s&id=15739). The nice thing about this case is that if you connect the cables correct, the MCE remote will turn on the PC out of the box...

well I went and got the Logitech Mini DiNovo keyboard (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboa...8&cl=us,en)

seems great so far. had trouble getting the mouse pad working straight out of the box

found help on the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-727505.html

works perfect now!

Is anyone using iMonVFD remote? (the one that came with Antec Fusion Remote case).
If so, is everything working (keys, display, volume knob)?
