Got a Media Center Edition? Use Your Remote Control as a Wireless Mouse
Posted by Jason Dunn in "SOFTWARE" @ 09:00 AM
"Ever found yourself using Media Center Edition with the remote control and finding the need to control the mouse pointer but the mouse is nowhere in reach? Now with MyRemoteMouse your remote control can move your mouse pointer, click the left and right mouse buttons and even drag and drop. With one simple button click you can toggle between mouse and remote mode with no loss of remote functionality."
The Web site is an eyesore 8O, but the product sounds interesting - I can already do this with SnapStream's FireFly remote, but if you don't have that product, this piece of software will allow you to control your mouse cursor using only the remote control. I've done this with my FireFly remote, and while it's a bit awkward, it works in a pinch - which might just save you having to reach for that wireless mouse (or buy one in the first place).
