Hi,
I have installed openelec on Intel NUC5CPYH and need a little but fine remote control (like Apple TV, Fire TV or Xbox One Media Remote).
I tried Xbox One Media Remote but I have problems with power off and power on on the Intel Nuc.
Which remote do you recommend and which works ootb with openelec on Intel Nuc platform?
I won't use Smartphone or Tablet as remote control.
Thanks in advance,
free2k

I have the same question (NUC5i5RYK, running Mint/Cinnamon and kodi 15.2). Some apps (Kore, Yatse) are fine for controlling kodi, but I'd prefer something that would control the NUC as well. I tried Rii WiFi keyboard/touchpad, but it functions spastically and only when I am close to the NUC.

Same question here, too. I have the pentium braswell NUC here.
So apart from the power on\off issue (does anyone know how to fix this?) does the Xbox One Media Remote work out the box without any config'ing with Openelec, specifically fritsch's excellent v15_2_EGL build?
Just in the market for a remote (which must be backlit) and works without any messing about. Any info greatly appreciated.

Hi noggin,
huge thanks for taking the time to provide all the great info, it's greatly appreciated (as is everyone else's advice and assistance here).
After reading your post went onto UK Ebay and picked upped an official original white Xbox 360 Media remote, brandnew and sealed for £.7.99!!! Can't really go wrong for that price. Quite a pleasant surprise to find out that you can still pick these up new quite easily.
Still like the idea of the dainty Xbox One Media Remote though, anyone out there know how to resolve the remote's power on\off issue?

Evening all,
Very interested in this thread as I have bought 2 x NUC D34010WYKH as presents for my kids this Christmas. I intend to install either windows with Kodi or openelec on them.
Am I understanding correctly that the Xbox 360 remote should work with Kodi and the NUCS inbuilt IR sensor straight out of the box as they are RC6 remotes? Apologies if this is a bit of a newbie question. Just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly, before I take the plunge and order two remotes.
Thanks in advance.
