Worst remote nomination...

I wish to nominate the remote to my Wadia 861xi CDP as the worst of a large number of remotes I have lying around the house. The little buttons are irrationally located, have obscure labels, and need to be pushed just so to get them to work. On top of that, it practically takes a sniper scope to get it pointed so it will operate the player from just ten feet away. What were they thinking?

Sorry, just had to vent.

Anyone else have remotes they love to hate?

The remote on my Onkyo DVD player is abysmal.

I recently auditioned the Muse UDP and its remote is ridiculous. About 50 tiny buttons, all the same size.

Several years ago, I was shopping for a CDP and checked out Wadia. The salesman seemed to think that Wadia's 10 pound remote was the cat's meow and said that, when people picked it up, the sale was made. Not for me. If I had liked the sound of the player, I would have bought it in spite of the remote. Pretentious, silly, wasteful. And it didn't work very well.
