I've always felt that JRPGs that are mostly composed of menus would better played with a TV remote than an actual controller. Similar with visual novels better fit for e-ink screens. Any games that support alternative control and ways to experience them?

No, I think something like a Wii nunchuck but with a D-pad would be the ideal JRPG controller.

You can change the default keys in most JRPGs. Arrow keys + Shift Z X C work pretty well. Some have WASD with the E, Q, and similar keys for confirm or cancel. I've not tried setting up the Numpad to fully run a RPG, but it should be fine.

A lot of visual novels can be completed just by clicking the mouse.

VNs entire visual style would not work on e-ink displays. Them being reading based doesn't mean it'd fit.
