    Neat.

    The thing that bothers me whenever I see a TV remote is that there doesn't seem to be a remote control with illuminated keys, like on a computer keyboard. That way you can see the buttons even under dim lit conditions. Also, why aren't there any remotes with a built-in battery that could be charged like a smartphone?

    I don't own a TV, but I know that back in the days of bulky CRT TV's there were some remotes that could be iluminated. White LEDs weren't a thing back then, so they used incandescent lamps which drained the 9V battery fast.

    Why aren't back llit and rechargeable TV remotes a thing today, especially because white LED's and batteries are quite efficient today?

    If you want rechargeable batteries, just put some eneloop batteries (or some of the cheaper, rebranded ones) in the remote. They are not like the old NiMH batteries, they hold a charge for a years.

    I certainly don't want a remote that I have to throw out in a few years because the non-replaceable lithium battery wore out.
