Hi, If you don't want to use an IR receiver you could connect the cable from the extender directly to your serial port, see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Logitech_Harmony_Wireless_Extender I have tried that with my onboard serial header and that works. Only thing was that it seemed to cause interference with my tuner card and vice-versa. As I have an IR connection on my tuner card I'm going to attach the cable from the extender to that. Just need to get the correct cable and then I let you know if and how fast is works. The receiver works as a RF to IR converter so it spits out IR codes, so that wil always give some delay. Mapping a device to a port on the extender should make a tiny difference. Perhaps the fastest would be an RF receiver in your PC but I have no clue how the Harmony would talk to that then. As a normal wireless keyboard? Hmm, nice project for the weekend :)
