I just got my Motorola remote for XBMC yesterday and the thing is GREAT! On one side is a nice media remote and on the other side is a keyboard and click mouse. It works perfectly out of the box (so far anways) and I find it quite a bit easier to handle and use than my previous favorite - the diNovo Mini.

I am considering ordering this and it would be a replacement for my Harmony 1000. Can anyone attest to the responsiveness of the remote when clicking around XBMC? The Harmony is quite slow and bothersome. Also, I use a Windows PC with XBMC, a PS3, and a cable box in my living room. Will I be able to switch between these devices via my Pioneer receiver with this remote? How is the cable box control?
Thanks!

I'm still loving mine. It just stopped working the other day and I saw an "unrecognized USB device" in my device manager. So, I unplugged the dongle and plugged it back in and all was fine. I emailed support about it and they responded in just like an hour, incredible support. I thought I had a broken component because of rattling when I rotated it but that was the proximity sensor. I also asked them about setting a button to launch XBMC. They were helpful on that too, although it doesn't work. I went to the shortcut and went to the map key field and hit the red button which filled it with "shift-f3". When I press the red button XBMC does not launch. I'm sure I have more to learn, but the remote is very responsive clicking around XBMC.

Thanks guys. I've already ordered it. Can't wait to give it a try in a few days. I'll let you know how I do with keymaps and launching XBMC, etc.

Nope shortcut is in its default location in start menu. The button maps works now for some reason so go figure.

Anyone else having the unrecognized USB device problem in Windows? My remote will work fine for a while, and then all of a sudden it stops and I get this message. This has happened multiple times already.

I'm using Win7 x64 Prof. Still having the problem. I went into the device manager and turned off the setting allowing Windows to power off USB devices not in use. That didn't seem to take care of it.

raise it with pulse-eight support and it will be taken care of
