    Do they make any bluetooth remotes that work with MCE that do not require an ExpressCard slot? If not, does anyone have a recommendation for an RF based remote?

    Thanks.

    I don't know any bluetooth ones that don't go in your ExpressCard slot. I got an ATI RF remote that came with my tv tuner. The RF reciever just plugs into a USB port and has good range. You can probably find just the remote somewhere. You could also check NewEgg and see what all they have to offer.

    What would be the reason to NOT have it be thin enough to fit in the ExpressCard slot? If you don't want to keep it there, you are not obligated to.

    I don't have an express card slot which means I can't charge it.
