Remote Control Pro with access to 12 presets (for WiiM: Amp, Amp Pro, Ultra, Pro, Pro Plus, Mini...)

[Wingos]

With the remote control we have access to 4 presets buttons. A new Remote Control Pro is necessary (or plus, or ultra). The WiiM Home App has 12 and we need to access them all, it would totally change the WiiM experience with enough music diversity without having to use a phone.

There are many possibilities to access preset 5 to 12:
- Add 2 buttons below the 1, 2, 3 & 4 saying "5-8" and "9-12"
- Add 2 buttons 5 and 6 below the 1, 2, 3 & 4 and implement double click to access 7 to 12
- Add 2 buttons 5 and 6 and a third one for "7-12"
- Double tap on the buttons 1, 2, 3 & 4 to access 5, 6, 7 & 8 and Triple tap on the buttons to access the 4 next (suggested in this post and in this

Why not use the skip back and forward buttons to scroll through the presets.

Never heard of 'the magical number 7 plus or minus 2'? Humans on average cannot recall items outside this range. So, accessing 12 presets for the average user will be a stretch

Have you guys ever seen a Blu-ray player remote? I have a Sony blu ray player and the remote is small with a lot of buttons. The WiiM remote’s narrow design and fat buttons is waste of space. Its fine for the basic design but we want something with more functional preset buttons and ALL 5 input selections. This should be easy for WiiM to develop and if you don’t need a remote don’t buy it. Just use the app if you’re happy. I personally don’t want to use my phone for every selection.

Sounds like a good idea, but how do you see this working as these buttons are already go forwards and backwards within a playlist?

There would have to be a firmware update for the remote control, and perhaps you would have to select one of the existing number buttons to enable skipping through the presets.
