Anyone Used A Creative Labs Multimedia Remote?

Like the title says, wondering if anyone has used one of these remotes. Hooks up to your parallel port and controls your dvd software and things like winamp and wmp. If you have used it before, did it work well, was it compatable with most programs, any problems or comments?

Thanks for any responses.
 
yep, I've got one. Except it connects to your serial rather than parallel port. I have to say its pretty cool. I only really use it for mp3s and cds, for which its great (that and shutting my pc down when i'm too lazy to walk up to it 😀 ) Its no use at all as a mouse replacement - so don't figure that just because it has a mouse function you can use it as one! The default software that came with it works fine for me, but there are a couple of other programs available which give you a *ton* of extra options and uses.

Check out this thread- a few months ago a hot deal got everyone buying these (me included) and so the thread includes masses and masses of information about them, software you can use with them, and how to get them working with different applications.

Hope this helps
