0Olhando para além do Boxee remoto teclado

Por muito tempo eu estive procurando o ideal HTPC controle remoto Eu quero um controle remoto bastante padrão, mas com um teclado QWERTY na parte traseira, ou dentro de uma peça flip / slide out. Tenho acompanhado as opções em [int­link id=“46” type=“post”]um artigo de Jan-2010[/intlink], e finalmente me pedi um controle remoto Boxee alguns meses atrás. O boxee é um excelente teclado sem fio, mas Infeliz-tu-mente, Boxee optou por ir a "rota Apple" (aka idiotizadas) no lado não-qwerty. Há um total de 7 botões, non of which is a power but­ton. There is also no “back up” type but­ton. This makes the boxee pretty use­less for Media Cen­ter 7.I decided that if I was going to get yet anoth­er remote, I wanted it to offer addi­tion­al fea­tures, as well as address­ing the prob­lems with the boxee. The 2 most use­ful options are to be pro­gram­mable (i.. uni­ver­sal) and to fea­ture an RF com­muni­ation to the PC, so it can be tucked away out of sight. The remote I was most inter­ested in is the Philips Home Con­trol Dual / uWand, but I can­’t find any­where to buy that in the Reino Unido.  I’ve seen some pos­it­ive reviews of the Motorola NYXBoard and loc­ated a retail­er that ships to the Reino Unido.  £40 isn’t cheap for a remote con­trol, but the nyx­Board does offer both RF and uni­ver­sal­ity, as well as clearly hav­ing the required but­tons. I’ve ordered one, and am optim­ist­ic it will do the job. Its just a shame its a bit chunky, one of the nice things about the boxee remote is how slim and slick look­ing it is.
