A remote control handset for navigating a user interface of an entertainment device, the user interface having a hierarchical menu structure with at least two levels, the remote control handset being defined by a first axis extending in a width direction of the remote control handset between opposite respective sides and a second axis orthogonal to the first axis and extending in a longitudinal direction of the remote control handset, the remote control handset comprising: a first surface having a substantially planar portion extending in the width direction between said opposite respective sides and that lies substantially in a plane defined by the first axis and the second axis; and a second surface extending in the width direction between said opposite respective sides, adjacent to the first surface in the longitudinal direction, and having a component in a third axis that is orthogonal to the first and second axes, wherein the first surface forms a first control surface configured to allow navigation within a level of the menu structure; and the second surface forms a second control surface configured to allow navigation between the levels of the menu structure.
