Pepper Jobs W10 GYRO Air TV... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078NT49MJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This is the exact one I got. 10/10.
Yeah, this one does pretty well at using Windows in my experience.

I have the Pepper jobs W10 remote and it's great for my htpc. It's small and It's back light. One side has your standard remote settings and built in Windows 10 buttons with an activatable airmouse. The other side is a backlight qwerty keyboard. Here's a link if you're interested: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078NT49MJ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=robejorg-20&ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&linkId=726c3a5dd1eec5972aa5cff5ee93e523
Unfortunately I seem to have lost some of my WIP notes for it :/ If you can hang on a few days I can recreate my notes. (EDIT): Notes: https://hastebin.com/raw/itumoriwiw

I can tell you that there are a bunch of buttons that 'almost work' out of the box if you're using Kodi, but not quite. The setup is usable, but not everything is mapped wonderfully. The Volume buttons map to the standard system volume control (not Kodi's). The Show Desktop button works. The air mouse features work. But A lot of the top buttons are windows specific, for example 'explorer' sends a Win+E.
​
I also use a NUC :)

--- EDIT
Quick notes on key remapping: you can use built in kernel features to remap single button presses, like here where I disabled the remote's power buttons:
tvbox-auto# cat /etc/udev/hwdb.d/90-pepperjobs-w10-gyro-remote.hwdb
Pepper Jobs Remote - "W10 GYRO W10 GYRO" - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078NT49MJ ; https://fccid.io/2AOG7-W10GYRO
Unfortunately as this remote sends stuff like Win+E, that's two separate buttons and needs a smarter approach (the program I haven't written yet that I alluded to).
​
Also valuable is a config for the OSMC remote:
tvbox-auto# cat /etc/udev/hwdb.d/50-osmc-remote.hwdb
OSMC Remote - "OSMC Remote Controller USB Keyboard Mouse"
Thank you very much for your comment!
It took me on a trip to understand how air mouses work and if I should consider one instead of a trackball.
After searching for a decent enough I found this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078NT49MJ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=robejorg-20&ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&linkId=726c3a5dd1eec5972aa5cff5ee93e523
Which can also control the TV with IR. which is awesome for me.
I'd love to use the Logitech K400 but I want something my parents are a bit more familiar with. They're used to remote controllers. I really like the look of this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078NT49MJ/?coliid=I1KR7H7S9BO1IR&colid=3HM9AHB2G6NXV&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
But my main problem is what software to use it with.
I use a Windows 10 specific air mouse for mine.

It's nice because it has all of the common Windows functions as buttons, and you can also program it to control your tv.
I have the pepper jobs w10. Its amazing for windows, not sure about shield.
