Or, you can get the new Frontier Design Tranzport, which has the advantage of being wireless and having more functionality than the RR.

I once owned a Red Rover, but progressed pretty quickly to a Tascam US 428, and now to a Mackie Control. The limitations of the Red Rover surface pretty fast, and you are limited to the length of the attached cable.
 
I have seen it on e-bay with Adobe Audition as a package deal. You might see if the seller will go ahead and sell the remote separately.
 
I use a wireless mouse and have no use for something like this. The wireless mouse was cheaper, too..lol.

The Red Rover was pretty good, but very limited if you wanted to arm several tracks at once. Given the low price of the Tranzport, I would have bought one instead of the Red Rover, but I bought the RR back before the explosion of control surfaces. The Tranzport has gotten some excellent reviews, but I don't have any experience personally.

An advantage either one has over the Tascam US 428 is that you can use it out in the room (remembering that the cord on the RR is only 10' long). The Tranzport is wireless, which means you don't have yet another cable to trip over. Given that the Tranzport is much newer technology, I'd go with that over the Red Rover.

The US 428 (by the way, designed in partnership with Frontier Design, the people who sell the Tranzport) worked fine with Audition, and there are a lot of people who use them. I'd still be using mine, but it fried. I'm now using a Mackie Control, but it's more than 3 times what I paid for the Tascam.

It comes down to how you work. If you need to control your DAW from out in the room (if you want to overdub your own vocals, for example, and don't want to punch 'record' and then race to the mic), the Tranzport looks good. If you want to use it for mixing, the US 428 offers 8 faders and pan controls, so you're not doing so much with the mouse.

Personally, I am spoiled. Tracking/mixing with a mouse/kb is like swimming wearing a 3-piece suit.
 
Another option if you have a laptop is to use that as a remote on a simple wireless network using the Windows Remote Desktop service.

I understand that the US 224 is "half" a US 428. It's still being sold, unlike the US 428, and is much cheaper.

One thing not mentioned is that, if you buy one for signal routing, they don't have phantom power...but I never used my US 428 for anything but a control surface (other than routing playback through it when I wanted to use speakers other than my monitors).
