The range is pretty bad. I can reliably get it from about 10ft, but any further, and I press the remote under my jaw and click it. The wavelength of the remote tends to land neatly in a fractional ratio to the height of your body, as well as fractional ratios to body parts like your head and arms, and lets your body act as a dielectric resonator. Lets me go about 50ft with a handful of tries.
