Just received this VMX3 remote:

I see it is available on DX too.
I will make a fast review.
I is better than I expected. It has a RF keyboard, mouse and remote (positive and very important)! Airmouse can be turned off pressing a button, but some other buttons active this automaticaly (negative). The remote can be turned in IR by pressing "TV" button (positive), so you can have a remote which you can choose if it is IR or RF. Buttons worked fastly in RF when connected to my rasp-pi running openelec. It has almost all buttons I expected in a remote, except the "stop" button (negative), I don't know why. I choose to change remote to IR and use learning function to make it work in XBMC, bcs of two things: it's boring when you press a button and airmouse is activated... it will not be fine for my wife. :-) Second point: the stop button. :-) I've learned stop on the IR remote as beeing another button. When I need to use airmouse or keyboard I change to RF function by pressing "TV" button again. Ok, maybe I prefer to disconnect the dongle and connect it again only if I need to use keyboard and mouse, which is not common.
In general, I think this remote is very nice.
