4 out of 5 eggsWorks. Cord too short

Pros: Works as WMC IR receiver for Win 7.
IR receiver is small and compact.

Cons: Included USB cord is only 1 ft long.

Other Thoughts: I bought this strictly for the IR receiver as I use Harmony remotes with my HTPCs. The included USB extension cord is only 1 ft long. At that length your only choice is to put the receiver next to your HTPC. A 3 ft cord would have been much better, allowing you to place the IR receiver next to your TV.

Besides that one complaint the receiver works great.

4 out of 5 eggsIncluded Remote iffy

Pros: * Works without any drivers to install, plug and play.
* You can wake a computer in sleep with remote.
* The IR codes are already in the Logitech Harmony database, so you don't have to use the learn function on your Harmony remote.
* Comes with batteries

Cons: * Remote cramped, and feels cheap. Buttons too small. I programmed all the buttons into my Harmony remote, so was not an issue for me. Rosewill should sell just the receiver without the remote for Harmony users.
* The USB extender cable is only 20". It was too short for bringing a USB connection from the back of my PC to the front.

1 out of 5 eggsGreat, if only Wireless device.

Pros: None found. Did not work with any of my hardware, The module nuked all my USB and all other RF and bluetooth adapter drivers.

Cons: I have a media center that is using a bluetooth keyboard and a RF mouse. I tried to sync this up with the RF module with my mouse knowing that 2 RF modules will conflict with each other. Well, plugged this thing in, and it nuked all my wireless devices and my USB hubs connected to my media center. PLUS, the software that comes with the remote not very resourceful.

Other Thoughts: I am a fairly tech savvy guy, even work in the field. I know these things conflict when have two of the same adapter. But, this thing killed all my wireless adapter and my bluetooth adapter, and my USB hubs and when rebooted with wired keyboard and mouse the remote did not work as originally stated. Very limited on what it is supposed to do. Worked but minimally in windows media center, Think I will just stick to the mouse and keyboard and try and figure out how to sync my logitech harmony.

5 out of 5 eggsgreat price, works out of box with rasp xbmc

Pros: Works out of box with raspbian xbmc. Great shell shocker price of $13.99 so I got 2!

Cons: Construction seems a bit flimsy, but if that was an issue for me I would have overpaid for a Logitech harmony or some similar ripoff

Other Thoughts: Shell shocker baby

4 out of 5 eggsReceiver works great

Pros: I bought the receiver to work with my logitech harmony remote and it works great, once I found the code I needed.

Cons: I only wanted the receiver so the remote is just sitting in the box, not a big deal but it feels pretty wasteful.

Other Thoughts: Why not shave $5 off the cost and sell just the receiver? Thats all many people want anyway. And it would save on packaging, shipping, and manufacturing.

1 out of 5 eggsSleep doesn't always work.

Pros: IR receiver is small and compact. Main use is to use with Harmony Remote and XBMC.

Cons: Sleep will not always wake the Foxconn NT A3500 mini HTPC on the first press of Power Toggle button on the remote. Needs 4 to 5 presses before the PC recognizes it.

This is bad if you plan to use a Harmony remote with an Activity to turn on the TV and the HTPC at the same time. You will need to manually get the original remote to turn on the PC. I can get the Harmony to turn on the TV and HTPC at the same time about 1 in 5 tries.

I changed power control settings to not sleep or deactivate the USB ports. I also changed the PC BIOS settings to turn off the USB 3 ports. Nothing helps.

It seems as if the USB receiver may go thru a on/off cycle during sleep and will only recognize when it is on an ON state.

Bought 3 and tried 2. Both were the same. If I can't figure it out these remotes are going back. My HP Media Center IR receiver wakes from sleep each time.

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: IR Receiver works with Logitech Harmony 650.

Cons: Nothing yet

Other Thoughts: I purchased this for my Windows Media Server and wanted to get an IR receiver that was inexpensive to use with Windows Media Center. It was perfect! I had to teach it a few IR commands but it works wonderfully! I would highly recommend this for someone who wants to do the same!

4 out of 5 eggsAlmost Perfect

Pros: Works very well. USB Dongle is worth the price alone. Dongle works with Harmony remote. No problem with distance or angle.

Cons: Not backlit. Would have been helpful is White Buttons glowed. But still can manage to navigate buttons in the dark, although just a bit awkwardly.

Other Thoughts: Why anyone would market a remote that is not backlit is puzziling.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat remote for the price.

Pros: I bought the remote just for the receiver. I use a Logitech Harmony One but it did not come with a USB receiver. I was able to get both remotes to work with a single receiver to control MythTV. There were OS issues (Ubuntu 10.04) and included the steps to correct in the "Other Thoughts" section.

Cons: Not back-lit and button layout is a bit odd.

Other Thoughts: # If LIRC is installed, remove and clean old configuration files
apt-get purge lirc
rm -r /etc/lirc
apt-get autoremove
# Install LIRC
apt-get install lirc
# Choose Linux input layer '(/dev/input/eventX)' as the remote time, leave Transmitter set to 'None'.
vi /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
Change LOAD_MODULES to "false"
#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="false"
:wq
reboot
# Verify the remote signals are being interpreted
irw
# Press remote buttons and you should see hex/command output
# Install MythTV LIRC Generator
apt-get install mythbuntu-lirc-generator
# Reboot (or cycle LIRC) to generate standard MythTV button mappings
reboot
# Customize your buttons/commands:
vi /home/<Logged in User>/.lirc/mythtv
