I recently purchased a remote control from Amazon for my laptop computer, and due to it's universal ability, I could easily use it on my desktop as well.  It has a full qwert keyboard on one side of the remote and on the other side has  some basic functions.  It has media controls, volume control, and even a button that once pushed, turns the remote into an aero mouse. 

So far I'm loving it.

Thanks. Had no idea such a thing existed. It sounds like it could be really useful for recording. It's often a bit awkward to use my wireless keyboard with a guitar in hand, or at the drumkit.

That sounds pretty cool. I've heard of those, but I figured the qwerty keyboard's buttons would have to be crowded together and would be hard to distinguish.

The glass is neither half empty nor half full. It's just holding half the amount it can potentially hold.

The problem this remote has is it doesn't have an F1-F12 or home and end or page up and down buttons, but other than that, I cannot complain.  The butons on this thing are fairly sized and the F and J buttons on the qwerty keyboard side are marked.  Additionally, if you have the button facing up, the buttons on the underside are inactive.   so you cannot accidentally press the spacebar on the underside if you're using the media/quick access side.  Pretty nifty otherwise.    Also,, it seems you can only press two buttons together at once.  However I bought this largely for remote access for media and a few other random things.  I can see it being useful while sitting at the drums and what not to start and stop recording in Reaper.  Since it has ctrl, alt, and shift keys, it opens some optio0ns up for ya.  doesn't have an applications key.  but you can't have everything, I guess. lol.
