Looking for a Low Profile Media Remote

antimatter · 09-02-2004, 02:58 PM

Any one got any leads on a small low profile media remote. All the ones that i have seen here are all very large and better suited for sitting on your coffe table in your living room.

I have done multiple searches and the only one that ican come up with is the creative one which doesn't appear to have media buttons (i.e. gps/dvd/video/audio)

I have one of those GE make remote about the size of a nokia 8200/8900 series (well a little small). All it has is Power, Volumm up/down, Channel Up/Down, Play(Pause)/Stop/Forward/Reverse, TV/VCR/DVD/AUX(cable).
I bought that from BigLots aka Pick-N-Save for $2.99 brand new.

any link?

Just stop by any Biglots they may have one. If not check back. They don't have them all the time.
oh, I am about going out of town so I can't give you the model number.

I use MadCatz dual sided remote control. It has the size of a credit card and is about 0.5 cm thick. I am very very very pleased with it... (and no I have no warrents in MadCatz). It has DVD, VCR and TV.
I am using Girder and a homemade IR sensor in my car. Just works perfect.

Check it out:

Woa Thats pretty cool. I will have to look into that one. I like how it is double sided and blue. My only gripe is that it doesn't have media buttons. Any others

Keyspan makes a USB remote http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/remote/

Hey that one is pretty cool although it is missing the media buttons. I wonder if anybody makes a slim htpc style remote

antimatter · 09-02-2004, 06:58 PM

I am eyeing this remote

www.mediaremote.com

C4M pointed this one out in another post. It is a little large but would certainly do the job.

I wish i could find one with simlar buttons only half the size

Does anybody know if this remote will work with girder

Curiosity · 09-02-2004, 10:16 PM

That looks like it's made by the X10 Lola people. I'm betting it would work with the Girder Lola plugin.

ANy one else use this with girder? Ifso how.

I am open to any other slim remote solutions

its not smaller in any way, but it looks reallllly useful. moving it left and right can either advance to the end of a song or the beggining. it is also a mouse that can be controled in the air. i am considering it myself , just curious if i would be able to make those media controls work with say , frodoplayer? . its really pricey but it also comes with keyboard and the remote looks hella-usefull.

oekundar · 09-15-2004, 01:14 PM

any further updates on either of these?

ANti...I'm also considering the one you linked to...

antimatter · 09-15-2004, 02:47 PM

Yea, I am about at the point of ordering it. I wish someone could confirm that it works with Girder. I guess i will have to be a guinne pig (no rush though...touchscreen is working fine for the moment)

Edit: I think i found what i am looking for... i just have to get a better picture of it to see if it has the correct buttons i am having trouble finding an online picture of it

I will keep you all posted
