I can use the portable iPad as the remote control with the big TV screen ON or OFF. Or I can use my MacBook Air laptop with the TV screen ON or OFF. Ditto for the iPhone. I can use my Apple Watch to control Roon but that would be silly in the main listening room.

If I'm driving the big TV from the Mac Mini I can use the wireless keyboard + mouse paired to the Mac Mini - no laptop, iPad, or iPhone necessary.

Here, I went into the Mac's Accessibility section and made the mouse pointer into a huge hand - just so it shows up better for the photo below :-)

Keyboard + mouse would normally be near my listening spot on the sofa

I normally have 8 Albums across on the TV. I set it up for 12 in the past but it gets a little cluttered with small album art.

iPad can be propped up on the table to the side of the sofa easily within reach or right beside me.

I like having 6 Albums across on the iPad but no more than 8. It's customizable in Roon. Handling iPad by the case or the edges won't glitch anything.
