Since it seems Microsoft no longer make / brand an MCE remote, I'm looking to get hold of something that is as easy to use.
I have two of them in my house but am making a machine for my parents, ideally I'd like something that is plug and play and will work as easy as the MCE remote did with my LIVE setup.
Is there anything that you guys can recommend? I've heard that the RC118 from Maplin(UK) works out of the Box and has all of the same buttons.
Not mad keen on the design of it, nor of the fact that it has a tiny IR receiver that you have to use a USB extension with.
Any suggestions ? I did have a quick search but couldn't find a thread recommending alternatives ?
Cheers
