Some remote control.

Or, some high end MP3 players come with an actual little remote
control. IPOD has one. Some one like that, if they'd make them for
PCs, would be more designed for the purpose anyway. And that is
basically a subset of the MP3 portable control

If you tried to use a mouse, it will track your pointer around all the
time. Would be very annoying.
