    I'm moving from a media player to a custom built htpc shortly and am wondering what is best?

    Yatse as mentioned above or just the xbmc app is all you need assuming you have a smart phone.

    Yea, the XBMC app is dead handy if you've got an Android or iOS device.

    If you're looking for a physical device, I have one of the older Microsoft Media Centre USB receivers and remotes and it works perfectly for me in XBMC (running on a Windows based HTPC). I did, in the past have a copy of XBMCBuntu running off a USB drive to test it out and it also supported the MS stuff without any problem. There are a scatter of pretty cheap options on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/windows-media-center-remote

    I just use the XBMC Android app myself. I was originally going to invest in a small keyboard-something for it, but honestly I don't really see the need now I've used the app for a while - Does everything I need it to.
