Gyration Remote - $29.99

I know I'm always douching on and on about my HTPC remote, but this one is actually a good deal, just doesn't have the on-remote LCD which is utterly useless.

I guess, we will see when it gets here. The one I am getting has a much bigger trackpad, which was a big annoyance on that logitech one thats out there

http://efo.buy-lowest.com/index.php?mai ... cts_id=180

for those that don't know what I'm talking about. Every review I have seen says its perfect for htpc. I also got a remote that came with tv-tuner card for more of the media type functions

touchpad < gyro + accelerometer

it's like using a magic wand that you point at the screen and the mouse obeys. Honestly, I would use both if I had them. I'm looking for a keyboard as well.

exactly you don't have a keyboard, at least mine can do everything

and I also got a nice media center remote that came with the tuner card, so not like you need to point at anything anyway. start media center and use the arrows like a normal set top box.

Yours might have everything but its fugly as shit. An important part of product design is aesthetics.

I think this argument is reversed. Mine is cheap and not pretty and absolutely does the job. Apple products are expensive, pretty, and is debatable whether its more functional or just more user-friendly.
