So I bought this remote with the intent of only using it's IR receiver and programming my Harmony one to control Windows 7 Media Center 64 bit. I found out, however, that the remote isn't in logitech's remote database, and also doesn't seem to use the generic microsoft codes that most remotes use. I therefore had to manually "teach" the harmony my remote's codes in RAW format. The problem with this is that this method caused significant lag and delay that I couldn't fix with inter-device and inter-key delays/repeats in Logitech's manual setup. After an afternoon on the phone with logitech level 2 support, I was finally able to remove the lag/delay and get my remote functioning properly. If one is planning on using this remote and included IR receiver together as intended, I would definitely recommend it. It works very well with WMC, and I haven't found anything wrong with it. It is quick and responsive, and all commands work properly. I'm mainly writing this review for others who were contemplating this purchase for the IR receiver to be used with their Harmony/universal remote. The lag/delay issue can be overcome, but it's going to take a call to logitech level 2 support to correct. For those who are buying this with the intent on using the remote and supplied IR receiver with WMC, I would whole-heartedly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but a few flaws November 28, 2009
This remote connects easily and works well for Windows Media Center. However, I bought this for use with XBMC only to discover that this is not truly a "remote"; It simulates keyboard presses instead, which means that an advanced remote config program such as EventGhost cannot be used as it does not identify almost all of the buttons on the remote. This is dissapointing because It cannot be remapped to work for a custom program (ie controlling winamp, itunes, XBMC, etc). If you are buying this for purely Windows Media Center, than go for it. It's a great deal. If you want something more out of your remote, then look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harmony Users Read This Review, It Works August 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
First, I want to point out that this remote is a bargain remote, not a top of the line one.

I intended to only use this remote with Windows Media Center (works great with Windows 7 Media Center), but realize that most of the buttons work with XBMC. Everything I have tried with the remote seems to work great, but haven't had a chance to fully play with the advanced features of XBMC. However, if you are looking for just a cheap remote to control it, this should work great.

For the people wondering what the model number is (for Harmony remotes), on the back it says: VRC-1100 (And if you Google the model number, you will find it is an Ortek VRC-1100).

Anyone that is having problems getting this to work with their Harmony remotes, open up the Logitech software and click Add Device. Select Computer>Media Center. Find ORTek listed and then type in VRC-1100. Update the remote and your Logitech remote should work when you get to the testing phase. There is absolutely no reason to learn IR from this remote (unless I'm missing one of the advanced features).

Now on to the cons.

The mouse feature is gimmicky at best. It is very slow and the accuracy isn't stellar. But then again, this is not a wireless mouse, it is a remote.

The IR sensor is a bit gimmicky as well and there isn't an easy way to make it stay still. I'm thinking about attaching some velcro to the bottom of it so my cats won't play with it.
