Use this Keyspan RF (radio frequency) remote to control your Windows Vista PC from 90 feet away, a distance the company takes great glee in exclaiming is three times the distance of infrared remotes. You just plug that USB receiver into your PC, and you’re good to go, remote-controlling all those movie files you’ve ripped off, or even the scant few you’ve bought, with the greatest of ease.
