I ended up buying this one, but I am now returning this to Amazon. It took a little getting used to and technically would have been... okay for long term use, if it wasn't continually and randomly inserting either the number 7 or the number 8 into the middle of anything I was typing, regardless of the letter(s) that I was pressing.

Those models would work fine. I was responding to the idea of an Xbox or PS Controller, neither of which would do what we need. I was also looking to see if anyone has any experience with, likes or dislikes certain models. These are kind of a niche product.

We're not looking to use it as a game controller. We are looking to use it for opening the web browser and navigating to the streaming sites, find what we want to watch and then start that up. It just needs to be easy to use, effective, a bit durable and that's about it.

I just finished setting up a new living room PC and... it works great, but right now we have a "massive" wired keyboard and mouse, plugged into the front USB panels. I have just started looking at some of those tiny KB/Mouse remote control combo units. Are there any brands that one should stay away from? Others one should gravitate towards? We WILL be picking up a smaller wireless mouse and keyboard setup down the road and more than a few different controllers for the various games that I'm installing on this, but... for using the web browser to stream all the streaming services, one of those wee remote control sized doodads would be ideal. Any suggestions? I see one by Ambolove that looks like a combination between a game controller and a tiny KB that has a mouse track pad built in. Others that resemble traditional remotes, that you flip over to type, but it's unclear how you use them to also mouse.

THAT'S GREAT! Thanks!

Unless I can find or spend the time to solder each of the front panel wires to be longer... (I'll need an internal power extension too, because while I can JUST plug in the power to the MB, the cables are tight and will not allow a video card to be installed.) I'm going to have to find a new MB, CPU and RAM. Which puts this project completion out for a few more months. I just don't want to spend the money right now.

The ITX motherboard has ALL of the front panel, power and other pertinent connections across the top of the image. The motherboard is a GA-F2A888XN-WIFI. The cables, do not reach far enough for the layout of this stupid motherboard.

I inherited an old ITX motherboard with a... passably decent AMD APU. With some other older parts laying about my house, I decided that this would make a good start for a "low rent" Living Room PC for the family to hook up to the TV and play some lower requirement games. Anyway, I picked up a nice, flat case and... while the board and the low profile video card fit, fine... The power cable and ALL front panel cables DO NOT reach where they need to on that tiny ITX mainboard! Yeah, I probably should have bought one of those cubes, which would have allowed me to toss in a full size card to, but... the goal was to preserve low, flatter shape of the PS3 it is replacing and look unobtrusive. I have been unable to find the right search parameters for front panel USB and Front Panel extensions, same for the HD Audio or Digital Audio FP cable AND the power button, reset and LED front panel cables. HELP!

WorkNC does have multicore support, so additional cores and threads should drastically boost tool path generation time. I'm currently deciding whether or not to build systems around i7's or Ryzen 7's and possibly Ryzen 9's on our systems that generate the cutter paths. You should see a massive benefit in churning out cutter path using Ryzen based systems. I'm trying to find out the information on that, myself. I've only been able to determine, so far, that Solidworks runs quite nicely on a Ryzen 7 based system. Not much is out there benchmarking wise with WorkNC and other CNC cutter path software.
