This might not look like any remote control that you've ever seen, but that's exactly what it is. Bang & Olufsen's Beo6 remote features a strange ball covered with buttons and an LCD touchscreen precariously perched on top. Because hey, why not?

It connects to B&O's own insanely expensive stereo equipment via Wi-Fi, which is nice, and it allows you to create custom macros for one-button access to complex tasks. But knowing this brand, it's also crazily expensive, and sort of stupid-looking to boot. I'll stick with my standard remotes, thanks.
