Mediagate MG-IR02BK
$25.00
Released December, 2009
The Pros:Remote accesses all the functions it is designed to with Windows Media Center, Boxee and XBMC. Nice looking design with interesting colors, not just another boring remote. Button layout is intuitive, fairly easy to find the function you want.
The Cons:Remote is a little too small for comfortable use. Buttons are small and difficult to work with. IR sensor seems to work a lot better upside-down, strange little design quirk.
The Mediagate MG-IR02BK is an entry-level media center PC remote control designed for use with Windows 7 and Windows Vista. As a two-channel infrared device, approximate line of sight is required for the MG-IR02BK to work correctly.
