Movea has just released a version of Gyration’s wireless remote manage for Windows Media center computers. other than the wireless mouse controls that the remote offers, one nice function of the remote is the capability to manage Windows Media player (WMP) while your screen is off.

The remote interacts with WMP, by downloading data to be displayed utilizing it’s developed in LCD screen. From right here you can view tunes by album or artist as well as even gain access to your playlist. costs for the remote variety from $179.99 to $229.99 with an included keyboard.

After a bit browsing we discovered that Gyration had made a similar version of the remote for Dell that was packaged with the Dell XPS M2010 based on this as well as a thread by [BENZONATE] on AVS Forum we put together our own remote utilizing the complying with parts:

Dell M2010 premium Remote

Dell RH515 wireless card

Dell Thomson driver (EXE)

USB Cable

We discovered our bare remote on eBay for $19.99. When we asked [Greg] at Gyration for some assist on this job he explained to us that the M2010 remote will only bind (RF Connect) with the Dell RF module because of the method Dell has selected to compose its drivers; the remote will not work with any type of of their basic RF receivers. If you do buy the remote on eBay be conscious that the remote will only work with the RH515 card.

While discovering the remote was easy, trying to find the RH515 was one more story. After browsing on the internet as well as calling Dell’s business support personnel we were able to find as well as purchase the RH515 card for $10.99 including shipping on Dell’s outlet site.

Once we got our board we began to strip the wires on the included connector as well as paired it with our USB cable utilizing the following:

Red/Green to Black

Yellow to Green

White to White

Black to Red

We wrapped the subjected wires in electrical tape, as well as then installed the Thomson driver on our computer. After plugging the board into an open USB slot, Windows quickly acknowledged the card as well as complying with the M2010 remote’s direction for pairing the gadgets provided us a working gyration remote.

The remote’s fundamental Media center functions work like any type of other remote, the gyration function enables us to manage the cursor in addition to perform left as well as right clicks from the comfort of our couch. the very best part is: the remote provides us the capability to choose our music utilizing the developed in LCD screen.

We did experience some lag while scrolling down the listing of songs, however this might have been because of our extreme button smashing. other than the delay, the remote itself has performed fantastic as well as all for less than the expense of the Movea remote.
