** WARNING - Not for the faint of heart! ;) **
I am using the Logitech Wingman Cordless Gamepad to act as a mouse on a Media Centre PC (I use software called Joy2mouse .. assigns different mouse actions to the gampad's buttons). Anyways, I got to wondering if this it would be humanly possible to program the Harmony 628 to substitute for the gamepad? (in other words, to act as a mouse through the gamepad's infared receiver). I tried setting up a new "Media Centre PC" in activities, but the Harmony wouldn't pick up any infared signals from the Wingman ..
Is this just a convoluted pipedream .. or should I pursue it?
Thanx.

According to this and all others I found the wingman uses 2.4ghz radio frequency technology. In other words no IR for you to teach the harmony. [Link: windowsmarketplace.com]

Shoot - I think you are correct .. I suppose I could try a cordless mouse?

OK - maybe not (lloks like a a 27mhz RF signal)
Is there any way to program the Harmony 628 to control a PC .. I think I have a Wireless USB adaptor around somewhere ...
