I looked up the EX110 and it seems to be RF based device, not IR, in which case it won't received signals from the remote. |

The EX110 is indeed an RF device. The receiver is listed as being a "Compact USB - PS/2 RF receiver" under Specifications. An IR remote isn't going to help.

Microsoft makes a keyboard that will work with the ir receiver that comes with the remote. It doesn't come with an ir receiver of its own so you still have to purchase the remote as well (or you can get this combo package).
I can't recommend nor not recommend it, since I've never used it, but just note that ir requires line of sight and might not be as reliable as an RF keyboard and mouse. |
