Has anyone tried any of the Media Center PC remotes?

I have one of these and it's pretty sweet. I havn't spent too much time trying to configure it, but right out of the box it seems to work okay with many programs. I wish I could change the behavior of each button but I havn't really figured out how to do that (or if it is even possible).

I might try the Microsoft remote next. I use Windows Media Player to manage my stuff so I wanted something that worked well with that. Firefly does an okay job but its got its limitations. I havn't found it to be very flexible/customizable.

I was looking to purchase the Microsoft one for my MythTV box. Apparently it "only works with Windows MCE" but it should work fine under Linux.

Seemed pretty reasonable to me and was reasonably priced (A$60 odd), although that Snapstream one does look nice. I need to look further I believe...
