I just setup a system using an old ATI remote wonder. I doesnt seem to work very well, I dont like the feel. Also the range is only about 6-7ft, I'd like something with at least a 15ft range to be safe. I'd prefer and RF remote but IR is ok if needed as long as my other IR remotes dont interfere with eachother. Also, I am unable to wakeup my computer from standby using the remote. I enabled the "wake up on usb" setting on my Biostar K8M800 bios but it doesnt seem to work with the ati remote wonder.

So I'd like to get another remote. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Something that is known to beable to wakeup a computer from standby, has good range, and not too expensive.

Hi enricong. I am using a Gyro remote. Here is a article describing it: Gyro-remote takes control of XP : News : Internet - ZDNet Asia

It doesn't have a standby/wake button.

I actually did look at that remote before, but I'm looking for something pretty simple and cheap. I'd prefer RF if it has good range (15ft) otherwise IR.

the vista one is decent and can be used with xp...

Thanks for the reply, I see you say it is "decent". do you know of a similar one that is better?
