MicroLite Turns Your Dim-Lit Remote into an Ugly RC
Havnig trouble changing the channel and controlling your AV equipment in the dark? Maybe you shouldn't have been such a tightwad and sprung for the universal remote with backlit or glow-in-the-dark keys. Normally we'd say don't despair, but in this case, you probably should. Oh, there's a solution available, one that's arguably cost effective, so what's not to like?
Well, the new Pop-up MicroLite jury-rigs your dim-litted remote with a mini pop-up flashlight. Just push the button and a series of MicroLites pop right up to illuminate your keys. In order to use it, you'll need a bit of free space at the bottom of your remote control, about the size of a nickel. To attach it, you simply use the included double-sided 3M adhesive tape.
That's right, this $10 device (or 3 for $20) needs to be taped to the bottom of your remote. To be fair, the company outlines a few other places where this might come in handy, including the back of computer cases, door keyholes (we've all been there, right?), thermostats, and fuseboxes, all of which we think are better applications than a remote control.
Batteries are included, and according to the company, not replaceable. Sounds like someone's been taking a cue from Apple.

Except Apple would have made it a solid white, with sharp edges, then would sell it's own line of 'innovative' cases so that you wouldn't cut yourself on the sharp edges. They would also offer battery replacement for 3 times the cost of the initial device.
