I'm going to disagree and say I don't like the wood.
Personally, I think glass fiber reinforced nylon -- the kind of plastic you see in high end power tools -- would be a much better aesthetic, as well as being far more durable than any hardwood. It's also much easier to scale if you want to make 100,000 of these things.
Also not a huge fan of the square body. If it's dark, all I have to orient the remote is those two chevrons. Maybe that works, maybe it doesn't, but I'm still partial to the rectangle.
- conesus 9y agoDon't knock it til you've tried it. It's easier than you think to orient the remote in your hand without looking. That north ridge (the chevron) is quite pronounced by feel and you can feel it through clothing. As for the wood, I agree that different tastes are something I should strive to accommodate. Plastic is next and I also love the feel of glass filled nylon. I'll be looking into it as soon as the wood remotes do well enough.
- Hasz 9y agoFair enough. Looking at an item is no substitute for feel in hand.
