It is interesting that a couple of years ago Sony produced a VHS remote
controller that was reversible. One side had a simplified control surface
with very large buttons and the other had smaller buttons but had more
functionality. I thought this was a great idea but it obviously never caught
on as I have not seen anything similar since.
