	Update November 6, 2011: This remote works out of the box on a vanilla install of Ubuntu (11.1). It is auto-detected as a keyboard and mouse. It is no good for typing. It is only slightly better for moving the mouse pointer around the screen. The buttons are dependable though, and if you are looking for a cheap remote that does the job this should be a candidate. Here is a more complete map for every key on the remote except the Red Power Button. These changes go in your keyboard.xml file. Make sure that there are no duplicate mappings (with PVR settings). The default behavior is to pop up a notification with the key combination passed. You should probably replace this behavior with what you want.

	They are available on Ebay and DealExtreme for as little as ~$10 including shipping (often marketed as e g $2 for the device and $8 for shipping but since the cost for two is $20 this is just a trick). It's cheap and feels a bit flimsy, but it works well enough. It simulates the MS Media Center keypresses and will work out of the box on Windows, Linux and probably OSX.

			Update December 28, 2013: This remote works out of the box with Openelec 3.1.x. No configuration is needed. Some additional info regarding the red power button of this remote: <br />
			- Only this button is able to wake-up the HTPC from sleep mode. Pressing other buttons have no effect on a suspended machine.<br />
			- This button sends three keypresses. However it is possible to map it to switch off the system directly instead of showing a menu. See this example below.

It isn't very configurable and certain buttons don't work as they should: The fast forward and rewind buttons skip forward or backwards instead of moving gradually. This is because they send a bunch of keypresses (ctrl, shift, arrow, letter "B" etc). If the software is set to detect ctrl + arrow (left or right) it probably works.
