Device to playback via pushbutton?

[twelvoltz]

Hello,

I do not know if such a device/package exists but I am looking for some type of device/software package that will allow me to playback video on a PC by pushing a button. The requirement is for a computer that is hooked to a plasma display that currently runs through a set of 5 different videos with each video highlighting each of our current projects. I am hoping that someone is aware of a device (preferably usb) that has 5 or more buttons that are assignable to windows launch functions. The device I would like to find would allow a person standing in front of the display to push a single button and have it call up a specific video assigned to that button. I can currently achieve this using keystroke combinations and/or by assigning functions to hot keys but having a keyboard sticking out of the display takes away from the overall appearance of the display. Is anyone aware of such a device that can be purchased, or something that can be made? Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions!

How about a USB numeric keypad (popular Laptop accessory) or a presentation mouse (some of those have lots of buttons)?

I had thought of those however I was hoping to have a device with separate buttons that would allow me to label each button individually.
