Is this the one you're referring to? I'm interested in compiling a list of items that work for potential other users and this could be the winner of the simple setups cause I find you need at least 2 buttons in order to have truly hands off experience.

Hmm, that's rechargeable. The early ones were 2032 battery.

Years ago, I bought an "AB Shutter".
It actually used an EEPROM in it so you could reprogram the key presses to be anything without modifying the setup/software on the target device.
So I re-ordered a dozen of them.
They came in with a single IC and no EEPROM.

There may still be the problem of having a short sleep timeout.
As a photo clicker, the ones that I have seen timed out at 60 seconds.
That's problematic for a "stare-into-space" reader like me.
Finding where to change the timeout in the firmware is more difficult than mapping keys.
