I am going to start converting all family household TV usage from built-in Vizio Chromecast / smart TV UI to GCwGTV.

One behavior of my family is they misplace remotes, and my 2yo toddler likes to smash them open on the ground...so I have a bunch of replacements on hand. The Vizio remotes are cheap, around $7 last time I checked, so I'd stock up 2 or 3 at a time.

However, the official GCwGTV remote seems to be going for ~$20, which is a bit high for me, so looking for solutions (changing family behavior is a no go) that A) are under $10 or B) are a good size to have a locator tag attached so we can cause it to beep to locate easily.

I've been looking for a minimalist remote, with just the essential buttons, no 0-9 numpad, but searches not turning up any candidates. The Vizio remotes actually do work through CEC but it's clunky because most buttons (eg Netflix, home, etc) take you out of the GCwGTV interface. I would prefer not to have such caveats for my non-techy family to have to wrap their head around.
