Help me solve my HTPC remote dilemma

[Doomer]

The number one problem I have with every remote I've tried is scrolling in XBMC. I'm looking for a remote with dedicated scroll buttons or rocker that are easy to find in the dark. Also, the simpler the remote the better. All I need is basic functionality, not tons of bells and whistles. and I only need it to control XMBC and nothing else.

Thanks

I would recommend FLIRC. You can use any IR remote with this device.

What is your issue with scrolling? Normally just the down key does it.

If your library is of any size using T9 dialing on a remote with number buttons is the only way to do it.

Thanks. Just ordered a flirc. Hopefully this will do the trick. I use a remote in the dark so the fewer buttons the better.
