I love this remote!
I plugged the USB receiver in and it worked with XBMC perfectly!
The only cons I could see is there isn't a preset button to pull up the contextual menu, which is kinda a thing (this can be easily worked around with a keymap like this one). Other reviews say one of the other cons is the lack of back lighting on the remote but I don't have an issue with this. For 99% of the time I use the remote I can either see the button I'm trying to hit or I am just using a directional button or the okay which are easy to feel without looking down.
I also really like the tilt sensor capability which when the qwerty keyboard is on top XBMC opens up a search menu. Really slick. The remote feels like it's a well built device with a nice weight and a good in hand feel. I highly recommend this remote for any XBMC user. Solid 4.89 out of 5.
The remote is available here.
