Sunwave has launched a new infrared (IR) remote control designed specifically for use with Windows Media Center.

The remote (SMR-140) combines the functions of your mouse and keyboard, as well as giving you remote control of your DVD player, TV tuner and web browser.

If your PC has a tuner card built-in you can also use the remote to record TV shows, the company says.

Also included is a USB infra-red receiver which relays all the signals back to your PC. Although the remote is designed for a PC with Windows Media Center installed, it is Vista compatible also. It requires 2 x AAA batteries to run.
