Could you provide a bit more detail about your specific use case?

You do mention that soldering is not an interest, but there was a
thread here some time earlier with the suggestion to hack apart a USB
keyboard and just a few of the keys as triggers.  This is not a
difficult task, and perhaps a friend could help you out.
If USB keyboards are an option, writing a python script to capture
input and trigger system commands is almost trivial.
