The present invention provides devices, systems, and methods for remotely activating a controller. In particular, the invention provides devices operable through a user's tactile sensation and easily operable for the elderly and the very young. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a remote transmitter for use with a controller such as a telephone base unit. The transmitter comprises a housing and a signal transmitter coupled to the housing. A switch device having a signal on position and a signal off position is also coupled to the housing. A user input connected to said switch device extends a sufficient distance from the housing to allow the user to locate and manipulate the user input through tactile sensing. When the user manipulates the input to move the switch device to the signal on position, the switch device activates the signal transmitter which sends signals to a telephone and causes the dialing of a selected telephone number.
