I don't bump my desk very hard, just the normal mouse movement and some typing, but i keep finding my remote on the floor. it doesn't feel like it's stuck on there very strong in the first place. any ideas on what i can do with this? aside from sticking the remote in a drawer and losing it?

Same problem... I find the magnets are too weak.

Not to sound stupid or anything, but are you putting it in the right place?

There is a spot where the magnet is strongest. Make sure your remote is centered in that place. Don't put it too far below that spot or it will hang off (and eventually fall off).

Also, be careful not to bump your machine much at all when the hard drive is spinning!
