All edges of the case are rounded off for a comfortable feel. Overall this gives the Pronto an excellent shape that your hand can grip easily. It may be a little thick, but the back of the remote is curved inwards in a concave manner, forming a shape that lends itself to resting securely on a leg or couch armrest - but without rubber feet it's not well suited to tabletop use. 9.5oz once you've added the four required AA power cells. If you're using the rechargeable battery pack, the tally increases by half an ounce.
Color is now only skin deep.
The first painted Pronto variations suffered from excessive wear marks, but to correct that problem a new paint has been formulated which seems to provide, in my opinion, a harder surface. One thing I do notice on the new model is that the finish is more textured than that on my Marantz RC5000. Although I never found the TS-1000 difficult to grip, I do feel that its smooth plastic case would have benefited from the grippy tactile coating that has recently found its way onto a large number of remotes. The textured paint on the TSU2000 feels like an acceptable compromise between these two materials.
