We use that. It passed the wife test. The IR is super sensitive and doesn't give a crap which way the remote is pointed. Has a "pad" mouse in the middle that works fine for HTPC use. I wouldn't want to do heavy browsing or anything with it though.

I just setup a HTPC for someone today using that remote. It's pretty kickass. I'd definitely recommend that one too. The only bad thing is if you have to type something and don't have a keyboard. You can use the on screen keyboard, but that's just not fun with the mouse built into the remote. :p It would be cool if it had number pad keyboard support like texting on cell phones.
 
That's weird the Microsoft Media center remote lets you type via the Number pad...I figured all MC remotes did.
 
I tried (outside of media center) and just numbers came up. Maybe I had a setting wrong or something. I didn't have too much time to fool around with it.
