Amazon Link

It's a knock-off of Logitech R400

Pros

• $20 ($50 cheaper than original)
• uncommonly, works with osx/win/Google without remapping laptop keys (R400 doesn't)
• USB dongle embeds in device, so hard to lose

cons

• quality that matches price
• uses AAA batteries instead of built-in rechargeable (only $100+ remotes have this)

It would be great it we could:

• consider offering options for hearing-impaired persons (ie. special seats with a "audio out" that they can plug their own headphones into)
• have a direct feed to audio for livestreams and video recordings
• be able to set up presenters with a mic that doesn't require good handheld mic technique

I feel like having a bit more control over the audio setup would help us offer a more consistent experience, and help the speaker portion of the night go more smoothly. It would also be a first step toward a more production-level video recording.

This set from Amazon is $50 CAD and has decent reviews.

• UHF mics are compatible with more professional setups, so we can build on it if we like the direction
• even if venue has mic, we can use this to capture audio direct from their equipment, without running long cables
