  • USB PC Media Center Remote Control Review

    Posted by admin on July 5th, 2010 and filed under mce usb remote | 25 Comments »

    Review of cheap $1 USB PC Media Center Remote Control which I bought from eBay and came from Hong Kong. I test it in both Windows 7 and Linux Mint 9 and show it working in Linux.

      Excellent vid. I like these type of consumer victory type of videos. I always find it funny when you quickly page through a manual and then just toss it. Too funny!
