It's simply not the domain of Linux to replace stage gear. Imagine you would follow Len's tip, to use an USB "Qwerty"-keyboard as the remote control. On stage? A 20 meter long USB cable, IOW longer than USB norm
Remote control? certainly not! Local control for a headless box only. Blue tooth KB or wiimote might do remote work, but USB is not suited. My thought in meantioning the keyboard was that just because the keys have charactors on them does not mean each key can not be used as a function key. Possibly only a numeric keypad would be enough to control the mini-box-of-stuff. And it would be permanently attached. The idea of midifying the keys at all is a matter of making it compatible with synth control, but any other control (OSC) would work too. In the end I would be looking for something in the form factor of a MOD. A metal box with a few buttons and a display.
