You could also consider either Digit or Digit II (from Airturn.com).
Digit is a 6 button device for either hands (or feet with the optional four foot pedals attached). Or Digit II which is smaller (can attach to a keyring) which is only for handheld use and has 5 buttons.
I have just tested Digit with MS so thought I would report it here.
It has four buttons, up, down, left and right (plus the two additional buttons). With MS the up and down arrow functions are duplicated by the left and right.
MS could also support all of them perhaps.
One slight problem I had was my tablet sleeping (I presume I was outside MS at the time, as I usually have it set to prevent sleeping.) I have a passcode on it to wake and as it thought a bluetooth keyboard was connected to it, it did not present the virtual keyboard as usual, but just a field window for me to type in my code. I had to turn off Digit (my tablet detected it was no longer on) and then the screen's number pad appeared (relief!) On the BT-105 you can usually press the red on/off button to have it act as a temporary 'off' so the keyboard usually appears, but for some reason Digit did not do this. (This normally is used when you need the complete (virtual) keyboard for typing annotations, search etc.) You can also activate the virtual keyboard when using the tablet (this has been reported in another thread at this forum*) but since I was not logged in, this was not possible to get to the button.
Probably the best way for the mappings to be implemented would be to list (up to) the 6 buttons and pedals, each with a list of behaviors we need for various wireless functions so we can program the controls in whatever way we need.
