What do you use to control your HTPC - is the Microsoft remote worth getting?

Hi,

upgrading my HTPC box as a previous thread a few days ago. Was wondering should I also purchase the MCE remote and then eventually the MCE wireless keyboard.

At the moment i have normal standard wired mouse and keyboard just sat next to the tv. And have an ATI remote which does kinda do the job, and also has mouse control so can do things outside of MCE.

Also use it to download so have VNC installed and access it via my main computer.

What about you guys ?

I have one of these and it is very very good IMO.

but the mouse is utter rubbish right ?
