Description
Turn almost any Bluetooth remote into a driverless keyboard and media controller for your PC with a $5 ESP32-C3. No apps, drivers, admin rights, or system modifications. Flash, configure Wi-Fi, and remap every key directly from the browser. Supports Xiaomi RC003 and standard BLE remotes, with live key feedback and fully local processing.

Could you build this?
No This is a hardware and embedded firmware project that requires physical microcontrollers, low-level Bluetooth LE protocol handling, and USB HID emulation.
What it would actually take: The project requires an ESP32-C3 microcontroller running embedded C/C++ firmware built on ESP-IDF or Arduino. The core challenges involve implementing a dual-mode stack that handles BLE central role/GATT profile parsing for proprietary remotes while simultaneously acting as a USB HID device (keyboard/consumer control) toward the host operating system, complemented by WebSerial for in-browser flashing and EEPROM configuration.
