not actually in production yet... and i think it might be a while as phillips aren't actually gonna make it, just want to license the design? but i can't wait for uwand style remotes to become available Smile

i actually got a semi- after seeing there site, especially after my (soon to be lifted) disapointment at the nyxboard.

@eskro I am thinking of going with a Harmony remote instead of a IR tiny keyboard after reading this thread.

I like being able to use the Esc key in XBMC, and like the C for the context menu a keyboard provides. How difficult would it be to program the Harmony to do something a $30 remote/keyboard does out of the box? trying to assess the level of effort vs $$.

Its easy. You can setup the harmony to act exactly like a keyboard using the 'MCE keyboard' device. This then allows you to program any button on the logitech remote to any keyboard key.

For example you set the 'exit' button to the 'esc' key, 'pause' to 'space', etc.
