I put a tutorial together discussing IR remotes. You may find it interesting. Using IR Remotes in Place of Mechanical Switches Physical switches and pushbuttons are commonly used to control devices and influence program flow . . . An IR remote provides a flexible alternative to hard-wired s…

Great tutorial, Larry. I've also just used Avery round-dot labels to overlay each button, though it's hard to get them aligned nicely. Upside is, the clear tape overcoat sticks to the remote in between the labels. ...Downside is, clear tape sticks to the remote in between the labels. Also, a qui…

I too have used DST like this. Lately, I stopped doing so, have not seen many down sides. As you say, it is difficult to remove the overlay with DST. Without the DST, it is easy to remove these overlays and put a new one on.

I wonder if a compromise might work - leave a couple of binder-hole-punch sized holes in the overlay, so that those small spots do stick to the remote, but otherwise everything is removeable. Just a thought.
