Right now I have a Teensy 3.2 driving a Neopixel strip and responding to options via IR remote. I want to add more LEDs now but on the other side of my daughter's bedroom. Naturally, it would be great to have all sync to the same option selected. I'd like to ditch the IR and go with non-line of sight wireless such as an NRF24l01. To do this, I want to build a remote with a Trellis RGB keypad, OLED and encoder and 18650 battery. Thing is, I'd want the remote to sleep and conserve power when idle and extend time between charging. I was thinking of the MSP430 Launchpad for the remote as it known for it's lower power consumption.
This is the concept I'm after:

..and I could go with the feather products but I already have the Teensy in the current project, it works well and I'd like to stay on with it.
Appreciate the advice on this idea.
