[QUOTE="Pat Clark, post: 1138901, member: 123421"] I, too, migrated from WMC some years ago. The biggest hurdles for mouse users are these: 1. Use a skin that supports mouse usage -- I use PureVisionHD, but Default Wide is also good -- same author. 2. Understand that there are "menus" that slide out from the left when you move the mouse over there. 3. Understand that the on screen display (OSD) that slides up from the bottom is of little "use" for mouse users, but does carry information. 4. The "topbar" must be enabled to be seen. Also, skip steps are not present in the topbar. Scroll wheel forward and back executes skip steps. 5. Scrollbars, etc. must be enabled to be seen. (I forget just where this is done.) Scrollbars operate differently than Windows standard -- better in my opinion. 6. Not every function available to a remote is available to a mouse. You will be happy using a mouse. A keyboard is almost never needed, except for Windows things. [/QUOTE]
