Better than Unified Remote and several others I have tried. So far this is the one I will use for my HTPC. Some recommendations; 1. Make the scroll bar on right look and move like a scroll wheel when used. 2. Make the center button look and move like a mouse scroll wheel. 3. Put hipmatic feedback on buttons and scroll wheel.

Cool WiFi touch-pad. It's very easy to configure the server software. I have it running on 2 PCs and the discovery function let's me quickly switch between them in a couple of seconds. The touch-pad itself is smooth and responsive. Just what I need! Looking forward to the media center remote too.
