<div>3) Buy one of those mini keyboard remotes that can
be used with Android. You'd have a full keyboard.
Most of them work with a radio signal and you don't
have to use line of sight like with an IR remote.
Some tilt (they have some kind of gyroscope) and they
have really awkward mouse control. Some of them have
a touchpad, like a laptop, and you can move the
pointer with that. They're cheap, probably less than
$25<br>

<div>I bought this one: <a href="http://a.co/d/2lJGK6R"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://a.co/d/2lJGK6R</a> and it's
not available but there are several others (This one is
Amazon's Choice: <a href="http://a.co/d/4SHvnFH"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://a.co/d/4SHvnFH</a> and as
you can see, it's less than $15).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you go this route, I'd look around for the one you
want as you're the one who is going to have to use it. Some
have touch pads and some don't. You can find these remotes
all over the internet.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's just $15 bucks and you can use it in just about any
USB device. It emulates a keyboard. You can program a few
IR commands too like your TV Power. Mine learns commands
from another remote control but only for a few buttons. It
works pretty much out of the box; there is almost no
configuration needed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Don't try typing anything major. Passwords and logins
will work okay. Just don't plan on writing your next novel
with one of these remotes!<br>

on the NUC I used a wireless USB PC keyboard/trackball from IOGear
on Linux and Windows it works without anything special. Just like a
Wired USB keyboard. Will that work for setup and then use the
remotes for daily operation?<br>
