Looking for RF Remote

[nyplayer]

I am looking for a USB or other RF remote that work well with Event-ghost and Sagetv.

This are a few requirements.

1. Somewhat large buttons
2. Signal Pass through walls.

I found a few but the buttons are too tiny. for EX ATI Remote Wonder 2. The arrow keys are just to small for the user I will be setting it up for.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

PS I had a firefly snap-stream RF remote but that did not last too long... failed after a couple of months.

I was going to suggest the Firefly, I've been using mine for 6+ years without problems. The paint has rubbed off most of it, and the case is cracked in a few spots but it still works perfectly. I picked up a spare one last year just in case.

I would be interested to hear some other options though, the only thing I don't like about the Firefly is it can't wake up the computer when I hit the power button.

If you can find one the Gyration MCE remote is awesome. I can use it 30ft away through the floor and it still works perfectly.

For my client, I use a Tivo Slide with Intelliremote software. It is bluetooth and works great.

I have a Logitech 900. While I use the remote with event ghost and I really like it, I'm not sure if it is a good fit. The touchscreen can be a blessing / curse for the user.

Thanks All for your input.

I decided to go with a Ir Wireless Extender That way I have more options and can control up to 3 devices. I can use the Hauppauge remotes and any other IR Remotes. There are more options for IR remotes than RF remotes. Also I will not be tied to one remote.
