I use XBMC running on an R-Pi and control it with a cheap "media center" remote control [1]. While it does include a "mouse function" via a kind of d-pad I've only ever had to use it a handful of times to do things which are so rare I haven't bothered to bind a button to them; ie: force a video to a certain aspect ratio because it was encoded badly. For the 99.9% of interactions with the system the remote is superior to a mouse. 1: http://www.amazon.com/Ortek-Windows-Infrared-Receiver-Ultimate/dp/B00224ZDFY http://www.amazon.com/Ortek-Windows-Infrared-Receiver-Ultima...
