I use the original XBOX dongle modded and connected to the usb ports, been working for a couple of years, still works in the sense normal commands work, play, pause, FFWD etc.
Remote is a Logitech Harmony remote but it simulates a original XBOX remote. XBOX remote is selected in OSMC, whatever I select say Apple remote etc, it still works the basic commands.
