The orange keys are infrared, terrible option. try the melee f10.

Interesting.
Would you say it is the best remote out there (for an affordable price)?
I have a PS3 remote that I use with my HTPC and XBMC.

Thanks.

I tried several remotes and the Melee F10 is the best, no perfect, no backlight, some keys are IR, the air mouse is not super friendly, but my wife prefer it, so it's a winner. If your PS3 Remote works for you and you can customize it (with Keymap editor) an air mouse will not give you a better experience unless you need, let's say to move the mouse in a windows 8 HTPC.

im still on the fence myself, the mele f10 looks like a good choice, but has limitations also, one being no "back" button which reqiures flipping the remote and using the "esc" key from what i've been reading, is there a work around or fix for this issue? also can anyone with the f10 chime in on other short comings of it. thanks in advance,

You can assign the Back key to one of the 8 keys at the bottom of the remote (circle, triangle, square, etc) Use the Keymap editor program in the XBMC, I did assign the back, the tab, stop, play-pause to those keys.
