180° seems to have a stigma among Android devices, many don't allow it. My Poke3 doesn't seem to do it. My B&N Glow2 did so I could run it upside down to charge it. I'll have to figure out where I need to patch my Poke3.

I like clickers. I used a wired one on my Glow2.

I have a Bluetooth one like a selfie clicker for the Poke3 that sends a PgDn.
Unfortunately it times out after a minute and I haven't been able to patch it.
I'm still looking for a single or double button remote with PgDn/PgUp. I don't like the ones with 5 way buttons.

I've still got to work on building an out-of-tree driver for the system console. That way I can have the benefit of wired clicker connectivity and root console without ADB.

Even without that I can make a wired pusbutton page turn using the console RX in as a GPIO. I've already tested that as proof-of-concept.
