to answer my own question.... yes! the NYXGreen if it will ever come into production i shall have to wait to see!

Why do we need it rechargeable?

how long does the batteries in your remotes last now-days? I don't remember changing mine for a damn long time.

It it adds cost to the unit to add recharging capabilities then I say no don't add it.

If it uses a lot of power and needs to have batteries changed once a week type of thing then there is justification for recharging.

how do you recharge? Cradle (more cost to build it).

Shame there is no standard for wireless recharging where you could just place it on a pad and it recharges. I would like to see all manufactures adopt this type of philosophy and allow the consumer to have a single "charge pad" for all remotes, phone's etc.

I like the NYXGreen, simple remote great for the kids to ruin. Get this as an option for xbmc as well

No worries at all mate, I understand why you have to be careful.

question on the operation of this remote.

I lie on the couch and watch TV a lot. When I use a remote, it is often sideways. How will that affect this remote if it is using sensors to enable/disable the keypad.

Does anyone find having the transport controls at the top hard to use. I would prefer to see them below the nav ring - more centered in the remote.

I ordered one of these a while ago and am patiently waiting for release and have only just read through some of this forum....

I see there is no subtitle button, can the coloured buttons be programmed to a specific task, like subtitles?

I have a few different people use my xbmc setup and invariably the first question i get is "how do i turn off the subtitles" since its not intuitive for many people to grab the keybaord and hit T. They want something on the remote.....and so do I Tongue

So can the keys be programmed to a specific task?

Preordered. It's exactly what I want.

Was surprised the money was taken straight away though, and not nearer the time.

I don't know if the remote itself will be programmable in that way or not, but even if not I'm sure a quick change in the keypad.xml file or whatever it is will allow you to make it work however you want.
