Hi,

Motorola recently announced the Nyxboard, along with other similar remotes that have been demo/announced recently. I'm curious how many of you would prefer to have a compact dual faced remote for use with XBMC or any other Media Center software?

I just saw the news on slashdot. I am curious how the mouse pad will function? Does anyone have any details about this? I am always on the hunt for the perfect keyboard/mouse for my living room, and always been disappointed. Maybe this will be the one plus a remote too, Bonus!

yeah, looks like an improved version of the dual faced Boxee remote. A track pad would be nice.

If thats your pricerange I'd recommend the MCE Remote. Its built with a lot cheaper technology (IR and no extra keyboard etc.). Its still a good remote but more TV oriented than this which may fit xbmc better.

If you have problems please read this before posting
