Super long wire? Can't you just put your laptop next to the tv, plug in with a normal 4' or 6' HDMI, and use a Bluetooth mouse or your phone to control it?
basically the issue with this method is i like to travel light and I use my other devices for other things e.g. work, kvm switches, etc which all require their own setup and unplugging and replugging and interrupting my SO's tv isnt great. ive used a usb-c to hdmi cord to get things going via my phone but this whole idea is cumbersome whereas an hdmi stick and remote is a very elegant and compact solution.
What about KDE connect for using phone as remote input instead of some proprietary app?
Now you're talking. I just linked what I've used.
