Anecdatum, I wouldn’t even consider this if it wasn’t wood.

Anecdatum, I wouldn’t even consider this if it wasn’t wood.
- smt88 9y agoI'm in the same boat. People's homes vary a lot, and any single wood is going to clash badly with at a large percentage of homes. White (plastic or painted metal) is something that could probably blend in to almost any space. (It also shows misplaced priorities, in my opinion, when the homepage mentions the Janka hardness of the wood. I don't care how hard the button is because I'm just pressing it with my finger...)
- conesus 9y agoWhat happens when your fingernail goes into the wood? Mahogany and Rosewood are both hard enough that these remotes will never show any wear unless you abuse them on concrete.
- smt88 9y agoI guess I don't think about that problem because all of the buttons and switches in my life already solve that issue by being made of plastic or metal. That also just reminded me of another big downside to wood: all the dogs I've ever owned have been really interested in chewing on wooden objects left around the house, even if they were otherwise perfectly respectful of everything else. I've lost quite a few shoe-polish brushes over the years.
- conesus 9y agoYep, you're completely right. I've already replaced a poor remote that was chewed up by a user's dog. Luckily I give free replacements if the user can provide a photo.
- djrogers 9y agoSounds like you and the GP aren’t in the same boat - they want wood, you don’t...
- smt88 9y agoYou're right. I misread the comment. My mistake!
- brk 9y agoCurious. Why? Do you have no other plastic items or remotes in your house? Are wood accessories so core to you?
- fipple 9y agoIt’s just that this device is completely pointless to me. So I’d only be interested if it was an attractive curio.
