This, plus: if you have an xbox360 controller available you can use this
device as a remote for mpv, with around 20  buttons/functions to
navigate some video: backward, forward, pause, quit, upside down,
subtitle and language changes and more. See:
https://github.com/wlfgp/xboxdrv-mouse

Navigation with the controller and xboxdrv (userspace driver) probably
is possible for other movie players, too. Didn't test it. Needs a little
extra work tho', probably.

You'll never touch a keyboard again to watch videos after using the
controller with this driver just once  ... ;)

And no: I didn't write the driver - just published my configs in
the repo mentioned above ...
