MCE remotes are cheap and easy remotes to use with Kodi which are readily available in most computer hardware stores or online.
MCE remotes typically come with a USB IR receiver, making them a very good first remote.
Kodi is designed so that most buttons on an MCE remote work straight away with no editing or setting up. Just connect the receiver and away you go.
MCE remotes split into two main categories:
- MCE remotes that send keystrokes
- Windows remotes (a.k.a RC6 or eHome remotes) using the Microsoft eHome device driver to send commands
For more details on MCE remotes see:

- Using an MCE remote control in Linux

- Using an RC6 remote control in Windows
