Anyone knows a gadget similar to 8BitDo Micro, but for a mouse? (lemmy.ml)

I have 8BitDo to control my PC remotely. But sometimes I need mouse navigation for browser. In KDE in accessibility settings I can enable mouse navigation with numpad and bind numpad keys to the dpad. But I'll lose regular keyboard navigation this way.

So I wonder if there is a device for remote mouse control that doesn't require surface (like a BT mouse) and somewhat compact.

I wish 8BitDo Micro had the ability to dynamically switch profiles. Then I would just switch between mouse navigation and keyboard.

You have some options here. Do you want a pointer device, like a presentation clicker? Or a wireless touchpad? There are some bluetooth mini keyboards that are really compact, and have touchpads. Fosmon and Rii seem to be popular brands. Getting two 8bitdo gamepads and setting them up for mouse and keyboard is another option I guess :)

Ah, right, I can buy a mini keyboard with a touchpad! Looks like just what I need, thank you a lot!

I have this one and it works well enough for controlling my media PC running Mint:
