Plug and Play [Posted on 2006-01-10] A friend gave this to me to use with my itunes, airport express, and stereo. it was literally plug and play. i plugged it into my airport express which was already communicating wirelessly with my mac mini and itunes. this saved me from haivng to run downstairs to change the music playing on my itunes since i could just use the remote control from upstairs to do everything.
Terrible Vista Support [Posted on 2008-05-08] I bought this remote to control my home theater PC. I run a dual boot setup - XP and Vista. The remote works great in XP; I can control iTunes just fine. However, in Vista the remote is nearly useless. The deal breaker here is that the volume buttons on the remote do NOT control the volume in Vista! It's not even possible to map the remote buttons to keyboard strokes to do this. I emailed Key Span tech support and they said it's a KNOWN bug in Vista - but apparently they aren't interested in fixing it... their last software/driver update for this remote was July 2007. Arrgh.
