 Microsoft HTPC MCE remote A9N-00009Feb 20, 2009
By HowieZ
Ordered on of these for a Vista 32 MCE HTPC that I custom built. This remote works perfect. It lights up the important keys for dark theater room use. It is responsive unlike some of the ones thrown in with tuner cards (can you hear me DVICO?) I highly recommend one of these and the Microsoft MCE keyboard ZV7-00009, they work well together.
My only other wish for this remote was for it to have a joystick or something for mouse movement. Some of the cheap aftermarket ones have that. The keyboard does, but since we are reviewing the remote...
Bottom line, this is a fabulous remote for simple MCE interface use, the hot keys get you to the most used areas of Media Center. The number keys double as letter entry like your phone, to skip letters in your music library or whatever. BUY ONE!

Almost perfectNov 08, 2007
By Peter Meth
This is a great remote if you are using Windows XP Media Center Edition or Vista. The buttons are well laid out and have a good tactile feel. The remote fits nicely in the palm of my hand and the finish feels nice to the touch.
My only problems with the remote are more with the design of the Media Center that it controls. There is no option to close Medial Center from the remote. There are 2 power buttons on the remote, one controls your TV if you have configured it, and the other puts Windows to sleep. Since I use Windows as both a computer and a media center, I only need to close media center and not put the computer to sleep. In order to close media center, I have to use my mouse to click the x in the upper right hand corner.
It would also be nice if this remote could incorporate mouse movements when not in Media Center.
I also wish you could buy the remote and the sensor as separate items. The only reason I originally bought this remote was because I needed a sensor for the Windows Media Center Keyboard, which does not come with one. In the end, I am glad I have the remote though.
 Works as advertisedJan 22, 2012

To be honest I bought this just to use the receiver for the media center keyboard which works great on my home theater setup. I tried out the remote but use a Harmony remote instead of this one since it works on everything. I wonder why they discontinued this device.
Nice productApr 30, 2010

Works great with Media Center and my Hauppauge 1213 WinTV-HVR-2250 Dual Hybrid PCI-E TV Tuner Board.
I don't see Amazon selling it anymore though.
UPDATE: Still working great, has proven to be very reliable
A must-have for Windows Media Center usersMar 19, 2010
By mt
This remote is a must-have for users of Windows 7 Media Center. It works great. The receiver is equipped with a very long usb cable, which is very convenient.
The remote feels more like a TV remote than a computer remote, which creates a great experience for watching television or other media content on your computer.
