Pretty nice.  It looks almost identical to my ATI Remote Wonder, but 
it's got a slightly different button configuration (possibly--if they're 
not duplicates--including 2 extra buttons--they don't show a picture big 
enough to read the printed labels on the plastic body).

Since the ATI RW is made by X10, I would guess that this one is, also.  
Since the X10 remotes (including the ATI) is supported by LIRC (or as a 
keyboard with a driver from the Linux 2.6.x kernel source, but that 
required modifying keyboard shortcuts for every program you plan to 
use), this one is probably supported (but I won't guarantee it :).

If you do get one and find out it works, please let us know.

The niveus is $39.99 + $4.99 S&H - $10 mail-in rebate = $34.98 from 
newegg (

) while the ATI remote wonder is $32 + $0.99 S&H = $32.99 (
