$2 Media Center Remote for your Laptop/PC

Reviewed on Jun 27, 2008 product photo of '$2 Media Center 

Remote for your Laptop/PC'

So I bought a Media Center Remote from Ebay.My primary purpose is to use it remote control my laptop while it is playing music or DVD etc.
Especially now that I have a KWORLD ATSC 340U Dongle HDTV USB Stick for my laptop I wanted to integrate it with a remote.

Overall the product works well.Though I would have liked the keys on the remote to be softer.
So essentially this is a mini keyboard .What is does is basically send keytrokes like when you press the red button it will send a key stroke Ctrl+r so as long as your app can understand the key pressed you are all set.
It works on Linux/Windows.
Here are the beybindings
Repeat - Ctrl+Shift+r
Red button - Ctrl+r
Pause - Ctrl+p
Play - Ctrl+Shift+p
