PC Remote

[Swytch]

can anyone suggest any good PC remotes for viewing media files off my PC?

doesnt need to be too fancy, although ability to work with any application would be nice

ATI Remote Wonder is one of the options.
I'm very happy with it.
Could be bought on eBay or in ATI online store.

actually, the ATI remote wonder is the first one i came accross and looked good to me, i just wanted to see if there were any other ones worht lookign at before i buy the first one i come across....

what can you tell me about the ATI's functionality? can it controll anything on my pc? (ie, not that i would, but COULD it be used instead of a mouse?)

Yes, it could be used instead of a mouse.
It has several buttons which are programmable to be used like hotkeys or combination of hotkeys.
I use it to control media players with it, volume, size of a window. close-open application or file, shut down PC...
I'm sure it has other options which I do not use.
It works on radio signal, not IR like normal remotes, so that there is no need to point it to the USB antena dongle.
All in all: neat and functional.
