A compartmentalized organizer for accommodating one or more remote controls. The organizer has a plurality of discrete compartments which are substantially identical but variable with respect to size. Each compartment has a substantially rectangular shape, with both male and female connectors. The male connector is laterally disposed on the opposing side from the female connector allowing the compartments to be laterally arranged in releasably connectable fashion. The remotes are situated on the top panel of each compartment to allow line of sight transmission while still positioned on the compartment. Signaling means may be provided to allow for communication between compartments and the remote controls accommodated thereon.
