Title says it all. I've had it with PowerDVD's bloat. Every few years newer BR will 'break' and I'm forced to buy a new version to play them on my PC.

Any suggestions on good free or low cost BR playing software.

The free versions are even worse than powerdvd. Most of the time when i try to get a blu-ray to play on my pc, i have to give up... can't even get vlc to play blu ray. It's a damn right nightmare for blu ray on pc.

VLC is a great video player, for all but blu ray. (and it does have keyboard controls). - For it to even have blu ray support, you need to download extra files and that doesn't even work over half the time... it's a total mess.

just install K-lite codec pack (basic + player is enough) and open the files straight from the bd.
i never cared for any software player beyond that, plus i dont have to skip thru ads/trailers, as i can directly start the movie..
