You are using like 1% of what EventGhost can do for you!

It's a good writeup, I really love EventGhost and have few problems that can't be resolved with it.


The Snapstream FireFly remote kicks ass with it too! Decent RF range so I can change volume or tracks from my back deck, love it! Also it has premapped keys that are very helpful, like mouse. Most remotes don't have a specific mouse button so you have to BS something to have EG engauge mouse exclusive mode. However you can make your own buttons so might play with adding mouse control to the remote, also you can bring up the on screen keyboard to type text if required. Not saying it's too fun or easy but it's cool additional functionality.
