I just built my first HTPC and got everything running and now I need a good remote for it, any help would be greatly appreciated. Im running Windows 10 and will mostly be used for Netflix, Hulu and Prime.

Never heard of it, I just play what I want on phone/tablet/laptop/computer whatever is around me at the time and cast it to my tv.

Kodi and an Xbox controller.   Doubles for games.  Replicates the mouse as well.   Sucks if you need keyboard function but works great 95% of the time.

I have a harmony 650 but honestly i use my logitech k400 more often that the remote, not sure why as i only ever use the arrow keys, esc and space to navigate plex but its what I reach for.

HTPC is mac mini running plex, sickrage, and transmission.

Also just noticed what you said you planned to use it for, why wouldn't you just get a firetv for netflix, hulu and prime. It comes with a remote.

I already have a couple of firesticks and ROKU boxes but they are just lacking. I will run a lot more on it than just netflix, hulu and prime but they will be what its used for more than 50% of the time. I also will be doing some gaming with it, and other online streaming that is just too painful to do with the firestick and ROKU.

The Bluetooth model intrigues me, how well does it your model work?
