im tryna get a mini pc and make it a streaming box, but i of course need a remote but the ones that actually look comfortable seem to have microphones in them, and i don’t think that i will take it apart to remove the microphone. So should i just not care since im gonna use it on linux or is there an easier way to remove/break the microphone?

also does the lg remote with the motion controlled cursor thingy work on every tv or does it need to be an lg?

thank guy

    Well first of all I would not use LG anything.

    If it’s really just USB then it’s like any USB mic, and you can probably disable it pretty thoroughly in Linux.

      i don’t know if the remote is technically made by lg but its for an lg tv

      could i maybe like take a needle or something and poke it in the microphone hole?
