Getting it to work...

etnpnys · 2006-01-21, 17:16

Ok, lemme see if I get this: if I can acquire a remote that connects to my PC, can I have a program like Girder or whatever remap commands to keys on the keyboard?

If this is so, I can essentially get any crappy remote that connects to my PC and just remap the buttons/IR codes to things that work... Is that what I am to understand?

Now, I'm sure also that there are some exceptions - like remotes that use crazy high frequencies or something - but would remotes like these work??

or

These are crazy cheap (exactly what I'm looking for) and I think they will work if I can just remap the buttons to something, no?

Does this happen often, or am I an idiot??
