If you setup HID (opensource) you can use any remote.

I'm using a Media Center remote under vista now

The Microsoft MCE remote is really good and well supported by most software.

ok I got this solution which work just fine for me it may be some use to other.
so I dont care about the remote any more ..

I just need something wireless other than keyboard and mouse.

I use an Microsoft Wireless xbox360 controller
Then I use this software to map any controller to keyboard which XBMC support

PS: I'm use a xb360 drivers written by a Japanese which I cant remember the link but have save it on my HDD so I upload it to rapidshare if someone need it. It's much better than Microsoft drivers because it has much better trigger buttons supports.

I use wireless xbmc360 controllers with a freeware package around the house with LCD TV's. Wrote it all up here. In the basement I sometimes just use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
