We use a tiny wireless keyboard with a track pad, it’s bigger than a remote, and we still have remote for Amplifier and to turn on the TV, but it works very well for us. Some phones have IR, so we could have just the keyboard, but we have went back to using the remotes.
I’ve been seriously considering the same thing. Would love to see about getting a remote setup for a computer.
