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.
