I've been wishing for a remote that I could control my media player and other functions of my Linux PC music server. After doing a bit of looking around I found the Sanoxy remote and since it's so cheap (under $10 on ebay) I decided to give it a try.. Bingo! Very Kool, it works plug&play in both my Linux and Win 10 installs. Handles all the basic functions in my media players, (Strawberry, Cantata, DeadBeef, etc) like Play, Pause, Next Track, etc. Occasionaly it introduces a quirk in the general PC operation but nothing major and easily worked around. If your interested give it a try, for under $10 ($5 if your willing to wait of shipping from China) how can you lose. Might even work with Roon or whatever fancy player you use.
