Philips PM435S Remote Control

Pros: Inexpensive. Ergonomic
Cons: Buttons don't light up.

Only a few minutes remained before blastoff, and the man was taking careful inventory of his situation and environment. There could be no mistakes. Electricity on? Check Batteries in the mouse? Check Tootsie roll pops within reach? Check ...

Pros: Consolidate remotes, works with most devices
Cons: No website support, missing functions compared to original remotes
