Question Can I use a remote control to watch movies?

[johnr283]

Is there any way to get a physical remote that will control a program like Media Player Classic or Windows Media Player while I watch movies?

one way appears to be use your mobile phone to control the media player on PC

all these rely on pc having bluetooth or Wifi

most of the actual remotes are for media centre which isn't in 10 any more so be careful.
Some are also for window 8 mobile which is also not useful.

A small wireless keyboard/mouse combo will do. Another option is to find an old Windows MCE remote plus IR receiver.
