I was planning to get into more detail of my setup, but I came across this great looking app called Mira. It enables the great Apple Remote to be used with any Mac, not just the ones it came with. I have an Apple Remote laying around, it came with my MacBook, and I’d love to make good use of it. Mira also provides an on screen menu for switching applications with the remote,very cool.
Unfortunately, there’s no support for Keyspan IR receivers as of this posting only their proprietary IR receiver (price unknown) or a Media Center Edition receiver. I don’t know why anyone with a Mac would have an MCE IR Receiver, but oh well. The developer says there’s something in the works to support Keyspan remotes at a future date.
The app is shareware with a 30 day trial, then $16 after the trial period is over. Looks to be a winner if they can expand the compatability.
