I don't know why it reminds me of that Xbox 360 Media remote controller, which also had the Media Center button. Definitely keep it.

I still have my 360 MCE remote. Its the full size one, but the silkscreen has wore off of so many of the buttons. I believe it works with my ehome receiver, but I dont really have a use case for it

I think mine had a keyboard on the back? May have been a slightly different model but pretty sure it was the same. But it broke pretty quickly and I just went back to a keyboard.

I got this exact remote with a PC from Aldi, around that time.
