    My wife and i sewed a pocket into our couch. We used to hold a TV remote there, now we have the laptop’s wireless mouse and charging cable in there.

    It seems silly for all of a week, and then its just part of the routine

      to me the reason I don’t want a mouse is I need to move it on some surface for it to work, and even then it’s handling is much less accurate than at the desk, and its a chore to target that little button on the screen. from this point keyboard based navigation would work better, in apps that implement it well. I can imagine using a keyboard, but most other people I know would not accept that, because it’s too big.

      so far the best option I heard is a normal TV remote but with a keypad and trackpad on the back. but do those work with IR, are the signals of these buttons standardized?
