Oops, I think I messed up. I forgot to include the "unit test" at the end of the command. I will have to re-run it when I get home tonight. Sorry about that Jason!

From what I understand XBOX media remotes don't use the same protocol as XBOX controllers, as they rely on an IR receiver built into the console. In addition, going off of the documentation for the FLIRC USB Receiver, it's only able to send keyboard inputs to the connected device, not controller inputs. Until that changes best option for a Steam Deck media remote is likely going to be a Wii remote

I got mine replaced by Amazon and the new one simply worked. Jason kindly offered to arrange a return/replacement but given I'm in the UK it was just quicker and easier to do an Amazon return.

Thanks for sharing!

I fought my problem for a long time, years, erratic response to key presses. I thought distance was the culprit, although 12 ft shouldn't be a problem. I used a USB extension to connect Flirc to mitigate this issue. Until I finally found the source of problem - an 8-port network switch. Both the Kodi frontend and the switch are mounted to the wall, about 2 ft apart. Flashing LED-s of switch were the source of "noise" which obviously interfered and saturated my Flirc adapter. After I turned the switch 90 degrees so the LED-s no longer shine into my Kodi frontend the problem was completely gone.
