    Nice piece of hardware if you just want to use it to control XBMC. Pain in the neck to setup though. But the ability to turn the computer on/off without relying on BIOS settings is very nice.

    set up is annoying. response time is too slow. I must say it was disappointing trying to make this work.Oh yeah, and the connections are only compatible with certain motherboards.You need internal USB connection, and a lot of motherboards don't come with spare. you could just use the USB externally, but would require having the cable come out of your case. Oh and another thing, you need to able to connect the power switch cable in order to turn off the computer using remote. Bottom line, if you are not tech savvy, try another device setup (preferably external with only one USB connection). Otherwise, have fun...
