Are you always losing your remote only to find it stuffed in the couch cushions a minute later? Too bad you don’t have a call button for your remote. Motorola is here to help with this charging station that has a button that will allow you and your remote to be reunited.

Just press the button and your remote will light up and make noise. This works through radio frequency “find” functionality. It can be charged in wall sockets or USB. There’s also a clock on the front of the charger.

If you like to watch movies in the dark to simulate that theater experience, you will have trouble using your remote, since most of us don’t have a remote with backlit buttons. Well, there is an answer. Don’t buy a new remote.

Just buy this $9.99 Pop Up Microlite, with batteries that can last for up to three years. Your home theater system will be obsolete before the Pop Up Microlite even dies. Just stick it to your remote control and you are ready.

This pillow will let you channel surf, but not rest your head at the same time. It’s a pillow. With a remote crammed inside. The folks at Brookstone have turned this dream into a reality. They say that this unit can be programmed to work with over 500 devices.

Even better, there’s a power-saving auto shutoff feature that can be overridden by your squeezing. It’s probably not very comfortable as a pillow, but for $29.95 it’s a fun remote. It will require 2 AAA batteries.

Most of us who need a secondary monitor don’t need a very large one. And we don’t want it attached to a computer if at all if possible. The SoundGraph FingerVU 1016W touchscreen monitor is a battery-powered 10-inch monitor that allows you to control a variety of Windows applications with widgets that are accessible on the touchscreen itself.

It communicates wirelessly through USB. The FingerVU 1016W would be ideal to use with your HTPC (Home Theater PC), making it easier and more handy to use. You have full control of the software without having to turn on the TV.

If your little rugrat starts throwing around the standard remote control that comes with your TV, it’s not a big deal. But what if you own a more sophisticated universal remote with a full touchscreen display? You don’t want the kids destroying that one.

Sony is here to help. The RM-KZ1 universal remote control was specially designed and built from the ground up for kids. It’s splash proof and features a locked down battery and programming compartments, you also have a “volume limiting” feature which locks the volume in place.

Savant has introduced a unique touchscreen remote control. It’s called the Savant Touch Remote and it uses the latest iPod touch as the interface. It uses iOS 4.2 with a custom Savant app on top. Users can control their multi-room A/V systems and still download apps, use FaceTime for calling and perform other typical iPod functions just like normal.

The remote also includes 18 backlit hardware buttons for adjusting volume, menu navigation and more. Savant bundles it with a dock that charges the remote, and your color choices include black or white. There is RF connectivity in addition to Wi-Fi.

Hardcore Disney fans will love this. It’s a remote shaped like Mickey Mouse. I find it very creepy as it has the feet and the ears, with no face at all. It’s as if Mickey has invaded remote controls all over the world and has begun to morph into something new. Something deadly.

Thank god it’s exclusive to Japan. This Mickey Mouse remote control comes with a stand which are shaped like the mouse’s shoes. Other than controlling the TV there’s also a voice button so you can hear 9 popular Mickey Mouse lines.

Intel’s Labs is planing a new user-identifying system for remote controls. Once it familiarizes itself with a user, this motion sensing remote can recognize the user by the way he uses it. It takes accelerometer readings every 100 nanoseconds, building a data set about each person, which is then applied the next time you use the remote.

It still needs some work as accuracy rates are still well below 100 percent, but they hope to improve on that and probably deliver some targeted advertising to boot if history is any indication.

No, this is not a Klingon universal remote, but it looks like one. Genos has introduced the CYCLOPS universal controller, which they are calling the most ergonomically correct controller on the market. It is designed to fit perfectly between your hands and was originally designed to be the keyboard for the GenosTV Cable box, but it ended up as a universal remote control for TVs and devices instead.

There may even be a video game console version coming our way soon. The CYCLOPS can connect with most cellphones via Bluetooth as well. It certainly is beautiful.

A remote with a slide out QWERTY keyboard? This remote recently hit the FCC’s test bench. The Ti-Vo slide Bluetooth remote certainly looks odd, but very useful. But it’s only operational over Bluetooth.

It will be interesting to see how this fares once it hits the market. With no shipping date or price tag, we have no idea if this will be flying off shelves and into your waiting hands or sitting on shelves feeling all QWERTY with no where to go.

If you want to go green with your remote, Powerplus has just introduced the Leopard, a solar-powered universal remote that can charge its internal lithium-ion battery using either direct sunlight or artificial light. That means if you keep it facing up in a lit room, you will never have to worry about running out of batteries again. We like that a whole lot.

The dimensions on this remote are pretty standard at 7.3in x 1.9in x 0.7in. Sure it could be better looking, more stylish, but at £9.99 each I’m not going to complain.

Is this not the most basic remote control you have ever seen? It was designed for those who have limited dexterity and don’t need a ton of fancy buttons. The Doro HandleEasy 321rc is easy to hold on to and to use obviously.

It will let you do just the essential stuff that counts, like changing channels and adjusting the volume of your TV or home stereo. It is the world’s easiest universal remote control. £17.99 (or $26) is all it takes to simplify your life.

Just in time for the world cup, comes the Soccer Ball Remote. This remote control is padded, so if your team loses, it can presumably take some abuse. Maybe you can even kick it around a bit.

It’s pre-programmed for a bunch of TV, VCR, satellite and DVD systems and it works from up to 20 feet away. It will only cost you $20, which is a lot cheaper than the TVs it will damage as it’s kicked around the livingroom.

On the weekend, when sitting in a comfy chair in our man-caves, men require two things and only two things. A remote and a bottle opener. When you put the two together, you get a tool of pure awesomeness.

The Clicker adds a bottle opener to the side of a universal remote, so you can open your brew and continue to channel surf. However this won’t help you if you drink canned beer. Too bad for you guys. I’ll be kicking back and relaxing.

This is a sweet looking universal remote control. You are looking at Silver PAC’s new evolution 5500 universal remote control with Windows SideShow technology. You’ll see more of it at CES 2010.

Some features include a 4.3-inch touch-color LCD display with a resolution of 480 x 272, ARM9 processor, a 1GB flash, 256MB SDRAM, a built-in speaker, microphone, WiFi, and Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2. It’s more computer than remote and we like it that way.
