USB remote (doesn't really) store away in a PCMCIA slot

 

Unfortunately, that's exactly what the USB Media Remote from USB Geek does, and it also includes a USB dongle that sticks out too.

If you're gonna make a remote that stores away in your laptop's PCMCIA slot, you probably shouldn't make it so it sticks out.

Frankly, we'd rather go for any other option than deal with all the hassle that this $30 gadget promises to bring.
