Looking for media buttons box

Red_Machine · Apr 18, 2017

Previously I've had keyboards with media buttons, but now I'm back using one without them I find I'm missing hvaing them around. I've been looking for something USB that gives me media buttons on and off for years, but I've always come up empty handed. I KNOW they exist, because I saw a Dell TV ad years ago that had one, but I've never seen one in the flesh, or even for sale.

I think "years ago" is the key there. They "existed" but I don't believe they still exist. At least not really what you are looking for.

I found this, but I cannot find a good description of what it really does. And whether it works with W10 or not is another story.

I think you would be better off looking for new keyboard.

No, I don't want a remote. I want a little box that sits on my desk with dedicated play/pause/skip/volume buttons. Something like this, but not bluetooth:

Or this, but not for music creators:

That bluetooth button could be pretty nice if it was usable thru a wifi connection for MusicBee

I have an older model and it's quite nice, if I were in the need of macros I'd use it. They do way more than what you need though.

he didn't ask for wireless he asked for usb. Hence his second post of "something like this but not bluetooth"

Gaming Keyboards ? many have media buttons - Logitech G110 nice wheel for volume

I already have a lovely keyboard that I don't plan to replace. So far, I've not seen anything that will do what I want for a price that isn't eyewatering. So I guess I'm stuck.

or...you could simply re-program keys you don't use often , like home, end, page up, page down, etc.
