Bluetooth Remote? (1 Viewer)

[finrudd341]

Hi, reading this thread as I try and decide on the best HID for the new HTPC.

I am quite keen on the idea of a Bluetooth setup for keyboard and mouse, but the Harmony 895 Advanced Universal Remote from Logitech also looks quite good, and would perhaps be a better solution for everyday use. Has anyone tried this, and how compatible is it with MP?

I also looked at the Logitech wireless Play Station style controller, that might meet some of my needs...anyone got any experience of this, and how configurable it is?

The other thing I have seen, but not tried is the air-mouse - again, any feedback on what this is like would be appreciated.

I use a Logitech 785 remote with MediaPortal with great success. I have an iMon remote module on the computer case which gets all the signals from the remote without too many hitches. The initial set up of the remote was a good few hours worth of work compared to a plug and play solution like the keyboard and mouse, but it's very simple to use once all going.
