All,

I was wondering whether a wireless product exists that can be configured to action as a specified key on a keyboard. For example, if I want to press "spacebar" from 10 feet away without using a wireless keyboard. Is there wireless key or button on the market that can be used in this way? Please advise.
 
1. What's your budget?

2. Do you have hardware hacking skills?

3. How small and foolproof does it need to be?

Amazon search for mini bluetooth keyboard shows a bunch of options, many under $20.

Amazon search for bluetooth button shows a number of small remote-control bluetooth items, again many under $20. This includes things like media controller buttons, camera remote-shutter buttons, etc.

If you have hacking skills, there's this for $20:
