I don't know what kind of HID device this is for sure, but something like this would be great ( Presentation remote )

I don't have any of these but looks like these remotes are HID keyboard devices -- and additional HID mice if they have cursor control. To get buttons work, load hid modules, get key code with "evtest" utility and respond accordingly.
The code should be very much like the one in "wifiremote" android side and it's fairly straightforward.

Current "mouseturn" relies on mousedev and /dev/input/mice interface so it requires little extra work for end users, however, it wouldn't work with evdev.
