KlikR Universal Remote Control
/klikr-universal-remote-control-25709.jpg "KlikR Universal Remote Control")
It's long been possible to be too lazy to get up to turn on the TV and change channels, but thanks to KlikR it's now possible to be too lazy to dig the remote out of the couch cushions too! KlikR is a little Bluetooth bug you can stick next to your TV (or any infrared RC device) to make it controllable pretty much instantly from your smartphone.
The KlicR app organizes all of your saved connected devices, pulls up the one you're currently commanding for navigation, and even allows for voice control. So can just tell the TV to turn itself on, or the circa 1996 stereo you can't part with to play "Hit Me Baby," and KlikR will crack the whip and make sure they do it.
Additional KlikR features include: QR code sharing with family and friends so others can share your home's setup; auto backup so your setup will restore when you trade in or lose your phone; and an insta-mute function that will pause or silence background noise when you get a call.

TV-B-Gone Kit
Let's be clear: it would be a supreme a-hole move for someone to use a homemade TV-B-Gone to shut off the women's beach volleyball game I am watching at a bar. Obnoxious and unacceptable. However...were I to use my DIY...

The Best RC Toys for Adults
The best RC toys for adults span well beyond remote control cars and drones. In the case of the giant RC Bald Eagle, a full 9-1/2-foot wingspan beyond remote control cars and drones. And, honestly, I'm kind of over drones...
Smarty Ring Smartphone Controller
Smartphone-connected watches, smartphone-connected wristbands, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with a smartphone-connected ring. Particularly with the great fanfare surroundi

C3 Custom Remote Controlled Coolers
Maybe the best quote a company president has ever made about their product comes from C3 Custom Cooler Creations president, Scott Seljan. In speaking to The Milwaukee Sentinel of his Remote Controlled Rover Coolers, Seljan...
Micro Butterfly RC Plane
While being on the receiving end of a buzzing, pesky winged bug's attentions can prompt minor fits of rage, I feel like if I could control the insect, and make it evoke these sentiments and actions from those who are...
Remote Control Superhero
A life-size, remote control foam superhero probably isn't going to be much help if you're looking for someone to swoop in and save your kid from the schoolyard bullies next time they try to weave his body through the...

1:1 Scale RC Flying Man
Ralph Kayser's 1:1 Scale RC Flying Man is probably a step down from delivery drones in terms of feats of technology, but it sure looks a whole lot cooler to me. The dude is a full-scale human in height and general size...

Star Wars Force Band
As Rogue One readies to flash back in the Star Wars timeline, you've got the opportunity to flash back in the IRL timeline (but, uh, forward in the Star Wars timeline) to The Force Awakens, and Sphero's 2015 BB-8 app-enabled...
Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver Remote Control
While I'm pretty sure the Sonic Screwdriver in remote control form cannot eradicate the entire E! Network or track aliens of the Zooey Deschanel persuasion, it can make brandishers feel like pretty bitchin' Time Lords...

BionicOpter Advanced RC Dragonfly
Festo says its BionicOpter was inspired by dragonfly flight, and can perform great feats of flight and function. I'm not going to argue with that, but I would like to point out 2 things: 1) This supposed highly advanced...

Remote Control Hissing Cobra
A snake in the hand is worth two in the bush. Especially if the snake is this remote control hissing cobra, and the hand is yours, guiding its lifelike, 17" slithering body and retractable tongue toward your friend Cornelius...

Flying Shark Air Swimmers
This is a big ass shark that gets filled with helium so you can control who you'd like to kill with it. Check out the video after the jump for a better visualization of what I'm saying here. This thing looks pretty awesome...
