Thanks for the reply! Enabling/disabling the mouse function makes no difference. In fact, when it is enabled it goes a bit crazy and the tracking is totally unusable. So at this point the remote is a glorified paperweight, as I can’t use it in either mode. I did plug it in along with the USB keyboard (since I can’t navigate at all with the remote) and went to settings>input>peripherals, and like you mentioned, CEC adapter was the only entry.
I did see the thread you linked to, but I don’t see it registering as a joystick so I’m not sure the fix applies. Maybe I’m wrong, and it’s entirely possible since I’m no expert when it comes to this stuff, but when I do the dmesg after plugging in the dongle I get this which seems to indicate that it is registering as an audio device? I guess that partially makes sense since this remote does have the microphone button on it so apparently it does voice commands, but I’ve never once used that functionality (nor do I really want to) to know it if actually works.
