Why My Remote Needs Real Buttons

A remote that only works if you know which menu to open is a remote that only I will use. That is the reason I am adding proper buttons you can press.

Everyone in the house should be able to pick the thing up and get something to happen, without a tutorial and without asking me first.

In this clip I show where the buttons go and how they fit into the housing I am building around them.
