I don't use a remote unless you call a wireless keyboard a remote. I use this keyboard. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/keyboa...rd/devices/192 with my theater PC.

I'm the same. I use a small wireless keyboard and a gyration mouse.

I use this model for my media center pc.

I bought this with the thought of it being a temp option until I could get a more fancy remote. A year later and I'm still happy with it.

I use this one. It got it through a trade with a friend and have found it really good. Not cheap (looking around online) but works exactly like any other remote you would use with a TV. Also allows you to use it as a mouse or switch to keyboard with a push of the button. What I really liked was that you could set it up to interact with most popular programs used to play DVD and Blu-Ray or any program on your computer. Comes with it own media set up but I have not used this much.

I use this for my PS3 (Logitech diNovo Mini), but it can be used for PCs too (it works better for PCs anyway). It's pretty cool.
