I bought this one: http://a.co/d/2lJGK6R and it's not available but there
are several others (This one is Amazon's Choice: http://a.co/d/4SHvnFH and
as you can see, it's less than $15).

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.

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.

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!
