    I'm looking for a new notebook, but I noticed that most good gaming machines do not have any multimedia buttons, like my 1520. Is there any accessory which could work as a control for WMC?
    It could be some sort of wired usb control device or a remote control, but only with BT, as most notebooks lack the IR port, or is it possible to use the IR Port of a DVB-T stick with a 3rd party remote?

    There are media control buttons along the front of the 1520...
