I work for a 100% remote company (no office at all) and I remote pair program almost every day.
We use Google hangouts and tmux for most of it. If I'm working with certain people, we end up using ScreenHero.
You learn to say things like "you take over" or "I'm taking over" to make sure the other person doesn't try to type at the same time.
Remote pairing took me all of a few hours to get used to and it's been very productive.
As a lead for a team, I have to take meeting minutes and it's been a dream to just mute my mic and not have people get distracted by typing, coughing and other noise while they are speaking.
I can share more about my remote pairing experience if you'd like. But I think the above covers it.
