I'm looking for the simplest form of UI to launch multiple different programs, including some games.

Currently running Windows 10 and using a FLIRC Skip 1S for launching Jellyfin and watching shows. Anything beyond those basic functions requires the wireless keyboard.

My goal is to not need the keyboard for anything and to launch games and all with the remote *or controller.

I wonder if the best option might be one of those remotes that has a little keyboard on the backside and works as an 'air mouse'. Because I don't know of any good interfaces for a traditional remote.

For what its worth some LG tvs have a remote that works as an air mouse and can even be used as a mouse on your pc when you cast to the screen. It doesnt have a keyboard however.

So far the closest thing was Plasma Bigscreen, but it's still in development.
