Looking at the title it is a:
Ione Windows Xp Media Center Ir PC Remote

Not a real Microsoft one. Who knows if it is compatible at the
hardware level or is MCE compatible because it's Window's device
driver makes it compatible.  There is no support for any products from
Ione in the current lirc build.

For myself I didn't risk messing with the clones and spent the extra
$12 for the real Microsoft version with known good drivers.
