I have the Remote but it’s not very handy to use on my studio desk. Is there any (best small) device for a table to be used by hand, that just switches profiles (MIDI Program Changes) without a computer?
Thanks for your help!

Korg Nanopad should do the job

Are you sure about that? To my knowledge the nanoPAD doesn't do MIDI Program Changes.
And apart from that it doesn't have MIDI ports, so it won't work with the Profiler (without computer) anyway.
Yes it can!
Usually program changes are on CC 0
You can assign CC 0 and any assign value to each pad.
USB to Midi hosts are cheap
What about an iPad or Surface Go tablet running Rig Manager?

For the price a laptop is cheaper
Sure thing. Different tool though. You can get a NUC for less than a laptop.
There are lots of ways you can present a tablet in a busy space like a studio where a laptop wouldn't be practical.
Yes it can!
...USB to Midi hosts are cheap
Ok, thanks for the heads up. I finally managed to download the Korg Kontrol Editor and it actually features program change commands as well.
Works well ... but ...
The USB to MIDI host cables I have don't come with power supply (they are powered through USB). So connecting the nanoPAD directly to the Profiler (without computer) doesn't power the nanoPAD.
The OP had asked for a solution that works even without a computer. Do you by any chance know a USB to MIDI host that would take care of power supply for the nanoPAD? Couldn't find any (affordable/cheap) solution yet.
An old fashioned usb hub with external power should be enough

I'm afraid it's not that easy.

That's my suggestion too. Buy a used IPad just new enough to run RM.
