MS-Tech 1200 remote color keys not working - witje - 2014-01-01

I have an MS-tech 1200 HTPC case which includes a remote. The remote seems to emulate a keyboard and most of it works fine.

Only the red / green / yellow / blue keys do not seem to generate keypress events, also in showkey they are not visible.

Anyone experience with this remote ?

I am using it with Windows 8 with the standard Microshoft HID driver.

Hi everyone.

I'm new here, but if anyone have a answer to the question of witje, I will also be very interested. I have exactly the same problem (nothing in showkey...).

Thanks in advance !

Try eventghost. This is a guide I wrote in another forum. http://www.hifivision.com/home-theater-pc-htpc-media-pc/22367-diy-amd-fusion-htpc-3.html#post313338

Thanks baijuxavior. I already tried Eventghost (with this tuto : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=46595)... But when I tap one of these buttons (red, blue, yellow or green), nothing happen. Your tuto seems to be a little bit different, so I will try ! Thanks

But, in any case, I'm note sure that it will work mainly because nothing is detected with Showkey.

I am not sure if your remote control is rc6 compatible mce remote. If it is mce compatible then the device manager will list it as ehome device driver. The guide I posted is for non mce remotes like the one shown in the image.

Hello baijuxavior.

The remote control of the MS-tech 1200 HTPC case is not listed as ehome device driver in the device manager. So, I suppose it is a non mce remote.
I didn't try your method yet, but it is planned for the next days ! Hope it will work !
