looking for remote for PC/HTPC

[pglenn]

I currently have an HTPC system on my PC setup to play video/audio through my home stereo system. I am currently using an ATI remote which I do like alot. However I would like to change to a remote that will still primarily control my PC (needs solid mouse control and programmable keys), while also allowing for setting up at least minimal control of my TV, VCR, and amplifier. Any advise and suggestions on such a remote are welcome. I do especially like the RF capability of the remote but have found (or rather not found any) that I would likely have to use IR or else an IR --> RF --> IR or RF --> IR system to maintain RF capability while controling the A/V equiptment.

There's a list of certified remotes somewhere in the MCE section in MSDN.

I should clarify that I am NOT using MCE even tho I have that O/S installed... I am NOT looking for an MCE remote, I am looking for a remote designed for controlling a PC that also serves as a universal remote for my additional audio/video devices (TV, AMP, VCR)

I used X10 RF remote and Girder software to control my PC recorder. I have stop using PC ever since I bought a LG DVD recorder. I gave up not becuase of the remote but I just couldn't stablize the Showshifter software.
