The Most Absurd Remote Ever Made

pultius2

Don’t get me wrong, I love a remote that has convenient features, but I also like a remote that’s compact. Unfortunately, the Pultius Remote from Art Lebedev falls a little short in that category.

The remote features 99 individual channel buttons and three additional buttons for adding 100, 200, or 300 to the original number. All in all, the user has access to 399 channels with a maximum of two button presses. Think of all the time you will save when you don’t have to hit three individual buttons when calling on the higher channels. Not to mention the fact that you could probably wield it like a bat to defend yourself against intruders. The damn thing is 20″ long.—Sean Fallon

As gadget fans can testify, most gadgets wouldn’t be gadgets without the remotes that control them. What is a TV without a remote? Just a box with pictures, thats what. So, from one gadget fan to another, and on behalf of the tech community, Rest In Peace Mr. Adler (1913-2007). — Andrew Dobrow
