I am using my old Mac Mini PPC as a multimedia station and this software + a remote is really a great complement to my little TV setup.
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.).

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

- Problem fixed by Apple and RB Version 1.8.5 (1 replies)
(had it been faster it would have earned another star)
Powerpoint and other remote work using iphone/ipod is so slow as to render it unusable for real-time presentations (at the speed I need to do them) but has some great features- although the user interface is not as intuitive as I would have hoped..
For hardwired Remotes it Works as described but I don't feel it adds any functionality to the Keyspan remote that the Keyspan software does Not have. (had it done more it would have earned another 1/2 star)
However if you need to work with SEVERAL different remotes then tis IS the application for you as it can use any remote to control any application.
Some support materials are only available in German but it is well documented overall so this is not an issue for those non-german speakers.
Unfortunately this version is now deleted from my system but I will keep looking at this product for improvements in speed and usability.
