    Ya, you need an IP port for this sucker. No idea if your M6400 has one.

    I know bluetooth radios are big and all, but seriously. An IR port?? I thought those when the way of dinosaurs.

    Dell phone rep yesterday was incorrect as I appear to have found another similar product from Dell.

    Express PC 34mm Media Wireless Remote

    Manufacturer Part# MEAPE3
    Dell Part# A2396218

    Although I don't think it is charged when stored in slot.

    It eats a USB slot, but it works though.

    Edit:

    Make sure it works with Powerpoint. On my remote, the next track and previous track buttons are discrete from the powerpoint buttons. I noticed another remote with seperate next/previous buttons...

    A bit more Googling has found me a retailer that sells the rechargable one I have

    I have the same problem on my m6400. I might have to do with logitech software overriding the OS settings.

    I know the Dell bluetooth mouse software will override the OS's pointer speed settings. It is a known issue and yet to be solved AFAIK.
