I've almost mastered searching in the dark by learning "touch type" the letters on the remote. Only problem is, I have to start at the menu button as a point of reference.

Yup, I do the same thing. I've done lots of searches in the dark. That's why having a nub on the Menu button helps.

I just wish I knew of an adhesive that would "last" for this. Tried both hot glue and 5-minute epoxy, both lasted a long time, but neither were permanent.
