I like really advance "home theater" style remote controls. I still want a nice Harmony remote. I made the horrible mistake of purchasing one of those Sony remotes a few years ago. This remote has a look like no other remote Ive ever seen before.

Its cool. I like it!!!

Bang-Olufsen-Beo-5-Remote-ControlIts called the Beo 5, from a company called Bang & Olufsen. Almost looks like a wacky video game controller. The Beo 5 combines a touch screen with buttons, to make what I would imagine to be a very comfortable-to-use remote control.

The LCD screen is really a set of 12 touch buttons that can be programmed to your liking (images can be downloaded / uploaded to the Remote). The "Touch n Go" technology allows you to select and activate the different buttons depending on how hard you press.

The Beo 5 is small enough to fit in one hand, and boast a 10-12 day battery life (runs on rechargeable batteries)
