To use this project without much modification, you would need four additional buttons as well (menu, forward, previous, play/pause).

To interact with the python frontend, you need to modify or create your own click.c code to read those inputs. If you simulate the binary values from the clickwheel (e.g. 0xFA for play button), you would not need to edit any other file in the repository which would make updates / fixes much easier.
