Having fun with your $40 Satechi MediaRemote? Probably not if you are trying to get it to control XBMC on your Android. Wipe the sweat from your forehead and follow these directions. I've made it super easy to be able to control XBMC with your new remote.
Easy Set Up:
1) Download this Satechi MediaRemote specific keyboard.xml.
2) Place the keyboard.xml file into this directory:
\Android\data\org.xbmc.xbmc\files\.xbmc\userdata\keymaps
You can copy the file by placing it onto a flash card and inserting that into your device or by connecting your device to a PC with a USB cable and browsing the mounted Internal Storage drive. You may need to turn on "show hidden files/folders".
3) Open XBMC and enjoy using your remote. Refer to the following maps:

Customize the keys yourself:
1) Download the default keyboard.xml.
2) Open the xml file in a text editor. Here are the line numbers and key presses that control the relevant actions.
Navigation:
52 <return>Back</return>
69 <minus>Down</minus>
70 <plus>Up</plus>
108 <next_track>SkipNext</next_track>
109 <prev_track>SkipPrevious</prev_track>
