Does anyone know of a bluetooth media remote for computers? I have an IR one, but the angle of receiving is rubbish, and I don't want a dongle hanging out of my laptop. I just want something to change tracks, change volume etc. Surely there must be something out there, but google is coming to nothing. I don't want to use my mobile as a remote. I want something with tactile buttons on it. Does anyone know of such a product? Cheers.
I think the remote for the PS3 is bluetooth.
If you have a smartphone there are apps for this. They work really good.
Sure, any hands-free bluetooth headset should do the trick, but here, why you dont grab yourself a bluetooth mouse/keyboard for that purpouse?

Its the fact it has no media buttons, and the only volume control is with FN+F5/F6. I have thought of the idea of buying a really small bluetooth keyboard, but they seem to need to press some sort of FN to access the keys remote too.

I'm just supprised there isn't any just simple remote there that works off bluetooth. I guess I could just find one with a nano receiver that works using RF and leave it plugged into a USB port.
