Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote?


After much research and searching, I was pleased to purchase and receive the Cambridge CXC transport. As some mentioned, the CXC remote is ungainly, crammed with buttons for other products I don't intend to purchase.

Does anyone have a lead on a small, programmable remote — something the size of a Roku remote? This makes much more sense. Having input buttons for specific tracks would be nice, too. (Cannot *believe* they left those off. FFS.)

Hopefully any answers might also help folks with other products who, like me, hate their remote.

Well the Cambridge remote controls three devices. A cost savings for production of the remote, however I wonder with the purchase of all three devices, one ends up with three identical remotes. I guess one could lose one, break one, and still use one. :-)
Mine came with a sheet that explained the HiFi keys coded for on the CXC. The shift key is used for the track numbers.

PM me if you need a picture of the sheet. The HiFi is easy to use for the same functions on the CXC remote. 
My only complaint about the remote is that, as George stated, the button are on the bottom. I can ignore the others.
I ordered the remote suggested by tobaccoleafpie. Just received it and only know that it turns the CXC on. Will give it a workout later and get back to you.  Got it off Amazon for $20.  
Seems to be just what you asked for. It is small, and it works fine with the CXC. Hey, for $20 had to give it a try.
