Best solution for the symmetrical peanut remote is to put something on the remote to help you figure out the orientation in the dark. Personally, I put a little piece of velcro on the underside of the remote towards the top. So, when I grab the remote at night, I feel for the velcro and make sure it's in the front (towards the TV). Then I know I'm holding the remote the right way.

But, I suppose you could try adding nipples too...
