Microsoft MCE Remote vs Hauppauge MCE Remote

[xanataus]

Hi,

Can people give their thoughts/feedback/recommendations on

1) Microsoft MCE Remote Control - http://www.netplus.com.au/products-detail.asp?pcode=SWMSXPMCE%2BRM&cat=Software&code=SW12

2) Hauppauge MCE Remote - http://registration.hauppauge.com/webstore/accessories2.asp?product=mce_remote

Also can someone confirm which of these have backlit buttons.

Thanks in advance

Cheers

I have had the mce remote for a few years as well as the keyboard. The backlight buttons are fine.

Only fault with it would be that the back key doesn't work out of the box with xbmc.

I use the MCE remote with the IR Server Suite - works pretty good (with the suite, I You only use the XP Rollup package for MCE, the functionality is very limited), and for me the "Back button" works fine.

Good to know it's just a windows 7 thing.
