URC MX-5000 remote features haptic feedback and a $1500 price tag

I've never had my fingers on a universal remote control with haptic feedback before, but if I ever do I wouldn't mind experiencing the MX-5000. The high-end universal from URC guides your fingers around its touchscreen with its haptic technology, and includes two-way communication via RF and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. With this compatibility, the MX-5000 is able to display information such as volume controls, media details and more.

The MX-5000 is aimed at the general retail market, but rather A/V professionals and installers. But URC claims it's simple to program and work with when setting it up with IP or RS-232. As for pricing, expect something in the vicinity of $1500.
