Do NOT use with Leopard and a MacBook Pro.
It will cause your trackpad and keyboard to stop working when waking up from a sleep after closing the lid.
The problem doesn't happen by putting the computer to sleep any other way.
Wait for an update past 1.8

(Note: This review is for the Wii remote fans only)
I love this application but I can't quite commit to it yet. If I were using only the bundled Apple remote I'd be sold.
Unfortunately I'm a Mac user with Mac tastes, and the wii remote features aren't all there yet. For whatever reason the wii remote motion sensor capabilities are horrendous. I've tried every infrared hack available, each to no avail. At best I've been able to stand up and do a few pirouettes while jumping and waving the wiimote in order to achieve an incredibly obtuse calibration response.
I don't know whether Remote Buddy utilizes the Darwin Remote framework or not, but seeing as my motion sensor experiences with Darwin Remote have been much closer to flawless without any need for tealight candles or other infrared source embellishments. I've been a bit baffled at the less elegant Darwin Remote's ability to outperform the more refined Remote Buddy's wii motion capabilities.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on Remote Buddy hoping for future wii motion sensor improvements. For anyone that enjoys full wii remote capabilities, I'd recommend doing the same, hold off on your purchase and keep your eyes peeled for any RB wii motion improvements.

Remote buddy provides a replacement to a mouse, controls Transmission and VLC and many other programs (awaken, itunes, etc.). The menus are slick and they offer direct access to your files (and yet, it offers the choice of the software you will use to open them).
Behaviours can be freely configured and that's probably better since the default one for VLC is not really adapted to the Keyspan Express Remote (meaning that the play/pause/forward buttons are not used by default, etc.).
