Remote control

Hi

I would like a simple remote control that works with linux, basically I want a remote control for pausing mplayer while sitting in the sofa. It doesn't have to be fancy, just sufficient for this task, any idea on hardware that does this?

Re: Remote control

If you're using it for music, I *highly* recommend mpd + (iPod | iPhone) + mpod app.

If it's for video, I'm not sure of any specific hardware, sorry.

Re: Remote control

My mobile does not support bluetooth and I have a non-wireless mouse/keyboard. It's mainly for video, since I have an amplifier, which has a remote control I do not need one for controlling the volume.
