It's all well and good, so long as I only want to go forward and quit the program all together, but how on earth do I program a button to take a step back. I've tried just about everything.

I've seen one at a local store. It was just like a Bluetooth dongle, or a memory stick. nothing more than a stick with an IR-unit at the other end. Shouldn't that be enough to work with stuff like Remote Buddy and so on? Can’t one just add a “no brand” USB-IR-receiver you can get at a lot of computer or electronics stores.

I got my Remote Wonder bundled with an All in Wonder video card for a PC but ATI also sells the Remote Wonder separately. On the ATI web site there is an OS X driver/configuration application for use of this remote on OS X. I've been using the Remote Wonder to control my 1.5GHz PPC Mac Mini for about 18 months now without any problems. I have the remote set up to launch iTunes, Apple DVD, and Media Central. This remote also acts as a mouse using a direction pad. The ATI Remote Wonder II is an RF remote with a USB receiver.

In the current release it only supports the buttons but in the next release it will support mouse movement provided you have some sort of sensor bar, there is a company that is producing a wireless sensor bar that you can get for about 20 bucks. The developer hopes to have the next version out soon, I've talked to him today. The Wiimote uses BlueTooth so if your computer has that built in you don't need any additional hardware.
