Alright guys, as some of you may know I'm building my CarPC, and I'm looking for the simplest solution to a mouse/keyboard.

As I was searching for things on the net to help myself, I came across ATi's Remote Wonder II. link

Now, basically what I'm asking you guys, (since there are no 'user reviews' on newegg's site), what can this thing do? I want ot be able to browse through folders with ease while clicking on anything I would want, basically a replacement for a mouse.

I figure, if it's easy enough to glide around with, If I EVER need to use a keyboard, I can just use the on-screen keyboard.

What do you guys think? Worth the $45.00?

Also, if you own one for yourself, what are some of the features like? What are on the CD's besides just the install drivers?
 
Only thing I don't like about that Creative Labs thing, is that it doesn'thave a joystick. I'd need one! :D
 
Are you able to roam around windows with that winamp remote, or is it STRICTLY for winamp?
 
No, the joystick can be set to act as a mouse pointer, and you can assign buttons for right- and left-click. It works pretty snazzy for a remote of this price.
 
Haha, if only you had posted this one day earlier! I just ordered the Remote Wonder II yesterday. I'll let ya know how it works once i get it!
 
I'm going to the tigerdirect store today, I need to buy some round cables and maybe some fans for the carputer. If I find the ATi Remote Wonder II I'll pick it up.

If I don't like it, I'll return it and get what it is you already posted.
