Description
Flirc USB: the USB infrared receiver that turns your remote into a keyboard
The Flirc USB is a small infrared USB dongle that lets you control a media center, a Raspberry Pi or a computer with any infrared remote. You map each remote button to a keyboard key once using the Flirc software; the configuration is stored in the dongle, which then works on any device without software or drivers. It is the simplest way to control Kodi or LibreELEC from the couch.

Can the Flirc be configured without a screen?
Yes, the command-line software, provided for Linux, macOS and Windows, offers the same functions as the graphical interface.
What is the range of the Flirc?
Up to about 6 m with most remotes, provided the dongle is in the remote's line of sight.
