No one has tried this product of Logitech? http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=gb,en
It seems like a good alternative method of control.

The main problem with this device is that it uses BlueTooth to connect to the system...
Although this unit looks interesting I think the flap-forward cover will get very annoying after a short while.

In this article "http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/mini.html" seems to have managed to make it work with Linux. You think you can use the same procedure with LinuxMCE?
Currently, Bluetooth devices are interesting to configure...
However, I can help any interested hackers in making device templates for Bluetooth devices so that they can be automatically detected and configured.

It does not use Bluetooth to connect to the system!!!!
It CAN use Bluetooh ;)
It has a small dongle that connects it to the system, that doubles as a Bluetooth dongle. But the comunication with the system is NOT Bluetooth.
So it works in Bios and LMCE.
LMCE does not see the Bluetooth part of the dongle so I cannot use it to connect other Bluetooth devices.
The BIG problem with this device, is that it does not have F buttons. So there is no way to press F6, F7 or F8.
It does have a nice set of other buttons that could perform these tasks, but I have no idea on where to start at remapping those...
Anyone able to push me in the right direction?

The flap cover is great for the bedroom ;) It's also the reason for the looong battery life. It turns off the keyboard whenever it is closed and the key's light up when I open it...
The Dinovo Mini works great in LinuxMCE:

I have added a wiki page for it:

Fantastic!
Can you please work on a device template and a package for this so that it can be done in a plug and play fashion?
guys, we have _GOT_ to stop using the wiki as a dumping ground for code snippets. We have a complete plug and play infrastructure that needs to be used!

Hehe...
Now how do I create a a package for it? I'm now trying to create the template.
And how do I share it when I'm done?
lsusb gives me the following:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:c71f Logitech, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:c71e Logitech, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:0b07 Logitech, Inc.
Wich one should I use? All 3 are from the same dongle.
If you notice, in the device templates, there is a place to put a software package.
You can see examples of other software packages in the Advanced > Software > Packages section, I suggest for this one because there is no additional software to compile etc, to use the MCR Remote package as a template.
There is a wiki page on the package system here:

p.s. any of the USB IDs would work, you only need one because it's merely used for detection purposes.
