any know of a reliable company that makes remote controlers for tv/dvd/ other media units that is actually made to survive beyond 1 or two years? the rubbery crap switches on OEM and "universal" types always get cruded up with hand oils, food oils, beverage, debris and require disassembly to clean. the carbob coating used to Make the contact wears out and the rubbery stuff usually ust breaks/tears/ or rips off when yanking the thing from out between the sofa cushions.
the feel of most remotes are sloppy, gooshy, and provide the user wityh NO tactile feedback! when i want to click something i want to either HEAR a click or FEEL a click. at least i can slam the keys and get some reward for my effort rather than assuming the IR code has flashed across the room!
wireless, those are just as crappy!
custom people are willing to make anything, but i dont prefer paying as much for a remote as the original unit!
or do these manufacturers think we all go out and buy NEW equipment every two or three years?? LOL!
comments, observations, edicts??
