PulseEight USB - CEC Adapter does it work with Plex?

I have just set up the new HTPC Plex app on a Windows 10 PC attached to my main TV. I want to find the simple way for the family to control HTPC Plex and my Sony android TV with all the streaming services apps on it using a single remote.

I came across the PulseEight USB CEC adapter, I see lots of mentions of this working with Kodi, but does it work fully to control Plex?

If not what other alternatives should I consider, maybe a universal remote. I see Logitech are stopping making the Harmony remotes, so what are the best alternatives?

Thanks

Plex HTPC still comes with CEC support, just like PMP did.

{
  "name": "HDMI CEC",
  "idmatcher": "CEC.*",
  "mapping": {
    "KEY_LEFT": "left",
    "KEY_RIGHT": "right",
    "KEY_UP": "up",
    "KEY_DOWN": "down",
    "KEY_SELECT": "enter",
    "KEY_BACK": "back",
    "KEY_PLAY": "play",
    "KEY_STOP": "stop",
    "KEY_PAUSE": "pause",
    "KEY_SEEKFWD": "seek_forward",

    "KEY_SUBTITLES": "cycle_subtitles",

    "KEY_PREV": "step_backward",
    "KEY_HOME": "home",
    "KEY_NUMERIC_([0-9])": "%1"
  }
}

As long as all your buttons appear in some way in the log file of Plex HTPC, you can even extend the number of supported buttons: Create your own inputmap | Plex Support
