I feel like a dork for doing this, but they were laying around, and I got tired of the remote wobbling side to side when it's on the table and I press buttons without picking it up.

Need to look for smaller ones though; it looks kinda ridiculous. :)

Why, oh why did Apple have to make the bottom of the remote curved??? The previous remote's flat bottom was nice and stable on surfaces.

Does it look ridiculous? Absolutely.

Would I do the exact same thing because I have the same annoyance? Absolutely.

Fine work! 👍

As a side note though I will say that I thoroughly enjoy the remote otherwise. It is incredibly well designed.
 
I stuck some 1/4” thick rubber non-skid material to the back of mine. This is material used under furniture legs to keep them from sliding around. It makes it non-skid and it makes it thick enough for my old, arthritic hands to use.

Unlike Apple, I put function before form! :cool:
