Great for Xbox One. No use for the Raspberry Pi which has no IR capability unless you've got an IR addon.
I now have two versions of these. Seems the black with green font has a MiniUSB input to charge with, which is a bit of a pain - the black with blue font uses MicroUSB. They both come with cables though.
They have a Nokia-esque rechargeable battery, took a picture on the Beelink thread a few days ago http://i.imgur.com/IgCr1VC.jpg?1 (that's the black/blue font version, in the ebay link above). Also, when you take the rechargeable cell out, there's horizontal slots for 2 x AAA batteries underneath.
Edit: Just realised captainbeaky put the same link I did - I looked up the definitions and sorted pricing and everything, that's what I get for not checking links in replies :stuck_out_tongue:
Okayyyy...The Beelink box I have came with a one-handed remote similar to the one in this Deal, which is why I mentioned it. Before I was using a wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse - more cumbersome. Was only trying to be helpful!
And you can break with convention and use it with one hand if you wish :wink:
How is this useful for RPi? Does it come with an IR USB dongle?

No it does not - I just found out the hard way after buying two of these...
I dont know why RPI is even tagged.

I had one of these a year or ago and unless I was unlucky and got a bad batch it was awful. paid 12 for xbox one original and we'll worth getting genuine one. in fared bit old school mind u

Good price, I'm using this one (the original remote with my Beelink MiniMXIII is a bit flimsy) - these are around £6 on ebay
Got this to test out for my niece, ended up buying myself one. Good reviews on Amazon.

this is a one-handed media remote control, that is a two-handed mini keyboard with integrated trackpad. it is like comparing apples and pears

Because you don't have to switch it on like you do with the remote? I imagine the battery lasts a lot longer too than if it was bluetooth.

Fair enough , just found that it was easier to use the game pad in the end as I didnt have to move and point in direction of tv, shame they haven't made one that's Bluetooth or wifi direct like the shield remote

If this is anything like this the official one it will drive you mad , why use IR useless if no line of sight , anyhow price is hot if this is what you are looking for

If I'm right, you can use the remote to control other appliances, IR is much more widely supported.
