My pick for the "Best HTPC Product" at CES is the "Odyssey" learning remote from Universal Electronics. It's a great product for us because it has floating cursor control built into the remote. Here is the web page: [Link: ueic.com] odyssey.html

Other Features are:

1.Macro function for any key but the "set" and "Mode" keys for a total of 44 macro's
2.TiVo and Replay codes
3.Backlit keys (Optional)

Basically though, it's the first learning remote I have seen that has the cursor and left and right mouse click keys as an integral part of the device. You move the cursor on the screen just as if you were using an IR keyboard and either press on the mouse stick or press on the key just left of it for the click. The key to the right is the right mouse click.
The only thing lacking is the alpha keys.

This is an OEM device presently. We need a company to step up and sell this remote. The "Suggested Retail Price" was $70 w/o backlighting, $90 with. A great price for all of this function.

What do you think?
