Streamzap PC Remote and IR Receiver

Not Your Everyday Remote:

Are you planning on building a multimedia or MP3 player PC for your home entertainment center? The Streamzap PC Remote is your final piece to the puzzle.

The Streamzap remote looks almost like your standard TV/VCR remote control with channel up/down buttons, volume buttons, etc. Except this one isn't your Dad's everday remote control, this one controls your PC wirelessly via a small USB receiver! The receiver uses infrared to communicate with the remote and requires line of site, just like conventional remotes. This means that the receiver has to have a clear, unobstructed path to the signals coming from the remote to work. The Streamzap remote is customized to control over 120 different applications. Don't see your favorite application listed, submit a request for it to be added.
