Wait... But what buttons are missing that you actually use?! Maybe I've just gotten too used to my remote, but I don't think I've ever wanted for another button on the remote, aside from maybe a source button.

Source, Settings and Quick Settings are buttons I find myself using quite often. Also the numbers do come in handy every now and again, as someone who still occasionally watches live TV.

Now the Samsung remote does have an "Extra" button, but last time I tried using that on a friends TV it told me "this functionality is unavailable". After 3 minutes of searching, I finally gave up on setting the TV to Game Mode and instead just lived with the input lag.
