The dongle installed as a Nyxboard Remote 2.4GHz device and after adding the batteries to the remote i was having all sorts of range problems (limited to about 1 meter,) the keyboard side was non responsive or would repeat button presses (even though i only pressed the button once.) I then disconnected the dongle from the back and plugged it into the front port and it installed as a USB Composite Device/USB Compliant Device and the remote functioned much better, the keyboard functioned correctly and the range problems were solved. I removed the dongle from the front and I then restored my windows OS (7 x64) from a saved image. Once it had restored i ensured batteries were in the remote, connected the dongle at the back and it installed as a USB Composite Device/USB Compliant Device and is working as could be expected.
I have however noticed that there are single scratches from all of the buttons (One scratch per button) Also the mouse pointer is very sporadic (speeds up, slows down, stops, starts, speeds up, slows down etc) Flipping the remote (from the remote side to the keyboard side) seems to execute an F7 when the tilt sensor is activated
Just as a little side note, In the instructions, under the Navigation keys/Mouse it states to hold down shift to use the mouse, when it should be Fn
I am currently still setting up the remote so have some testing/configuring ahead of me, i just thought i would let people know how my experience has been so far
Thanks for your feedback, please send me a photo of the scratches [email protected] and i will send them to Motorola for investigation. You should not have any marks on the remote.
The F7 is used by XBMC (or will be) to toggle the search when needed, this is normal.
I will get the manual updated and I have already let Motorola know, thanks for spotting it!
