I don't know, I am still processing the 'remote for a monitor' idea. Sounds like the 'remote for a car stereo' kind of thing. Is this for people with short arms

  The remote actually makes some sense. It has a button/joystick-thingy control on the back than can bring up a settings menu and navigate it but it is a pain to reach. Leaning forward enough to reach under to it brings my face too close. Edge controls would be easier to reach. Side edge controls can be a problem because people often want to have things right beside their monitor, such as another monitor. Bottom edge might be reasonable. For people with bigger monitors than mine (mine is 27") their arms might actually be too short to reach bottom edge buttons comfortably, assuming they sit farther back from the screen than I do from mine. Anyway, the remote can be faster than buttons would be because it allows for voice commands. If I want to set the brightness to say 6 I just pick up the remote, hold down the mic button, and say "brightness 6". That's faster than navigating to the picture settings menu and adjusting the brightness there.

  I think I saw a CRT with a little credit-card remote to make geometry changes. There used to be desks where the monitor was sunk in somewhat in and maybe the knobs were unreachable.

    Ah, the classic corner desk, the only way to not have your head permanently fixed to left/right side.
