No before you think why would you use it sideways, I lie on the couch watching TV and often have the remote near my hand and it gets used sideways while I am lying down. If this remote turns off the downward facing keys, then I need to know how it responds to being used sideways.
Is there a simple guide to getting it to work with live/freaks or openelec installs. I have never delved into the xml file for setting up a remote. I see you assign a key ID to a keyboard keystroke, but how do you get the key id?

I have the boxee remote for one week. It does work good
On openelec it works out of the box. On xbmc live it does not work, because of a problem in the x server, and i haven't been able to fix it yet.
On xbmc live freak 10.1 maverick it does work out of the box, there is a patch around, to make it work.
About the key stroke, that is one question i haven't figured out yet, maybey with debug mode turned on?

What i would like to know however is if there is a way to change the CAPS key to SHIFT instead as previously mentioned to make my browsing a little easier.
The rest of the remote seems to work quite well although the play/pause button is not recognised in Windows 7 however i do not really need this as i have the enter button on the front to start/stop my movies. Is there a way to map this lunch xbmc.exe?
Thanking in advance,

Take a look here. So you can remap the keys. Only like mick say, i haven't figured out yet, how to get the key ID's.
Indeed the pause/play button does not work to start a movie, the pause/play button does work to pause the movie. I use xbmc live.
