Remote control for pc?

After a remote to use with my mini pc to make YouTube and Kodi work better from the sofa. What options are available?

Last remote I had years ago was a windows media center Infrared one. Can't remember how it went since it's been so long ago

That's a keyboard not a remote like a TV or android box has.

Looks like I may need to think outside the box on this and make a custom one using raspberry pi pico w or something

Indeed. YouTube vids sold it for me so be interesting to see how it fairs in reality

Arrived today. Works very well. Will be perfect for my needs. The air mouse is very nice feature.
Surprised all the buttons are microswitches , I thought they would be like normal remote using a membrane method. Clicky but very good.
For 3.50p Inc delivery it's insanely good value.

On the phone at the moment will upload some pics when I'm on pc

Will work perfectly for my mini media pc. Won't. Need a keyboard and mouse now

The cheapest one, mx3 no backlight.
I'm gonna order some more, will get a backlight version too these will be handy for running mini PC's that replace Nvidia shield tv
