How to make Dyson AM07 (more) useable!
Introduction
Go to step 1The remote control for the Dyson AM07 (and possibly other Dyson fans and heaters - I only own the AM07, so I don't know) has a sleek design, but unfortunately it's a case of "function follows form".
Without looking at it, you can't tell where the buttons are and what they do because they are flush with the rest of the thing. Which makes this remote not very useable, especially at night.
Luckily, there's a very easy (and reversible) fix for this. All you need is a glue gun! :)
What you need

This is from the manual (http://www.dyson.com/medialibrary/Files/...).

Plug in your glue gun and let it heat up.

I made a big dot on the oscillation button, another one on the Standby ON/OFF button, and two more dots (big and small) on the Airflow control buttons. I don't use the Sleep Timer so I haven't added any dots to those two buttons.
-
If you don't get it right on the first try, don't worry. Just wait a couple of seconds for the glue to cool down and remove the dot. The glue comes off without leaving any residue or marks on the plastic.

I used a carpet cutter (sharpest knife I had lying around) to cut the dot on the Standby ON/OFF button into an "I" shape for a little bit of different tactile feedback.
-
Some more ideas for customization: while the glue is still fluid, stick little parts of plastic, for example, in it to get different kind of buttons.
