Physical remote control? (self.homeassistant)

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for a physical remote control that can be used with HomeAssistant? I'm hoping to find a multi-button zigbee or wifi device that HA can recognize and allow me to configure buttons to HA automations.

I'm already using a couple single button devices that can be configured to perform different actions on single press, double press, and long press, but would love a single device with multiple buttons for some locations.

The Aqara Cube looks interesting—it uses gestures instead of buttons.

I actually bought that one. I don’t recommend. Buggy as all get out and most of the functionality requires their proprietary hub. Cool concept though, shame it didn’t work very well.
