Tec-9 | Remote Control (Minimal Wear)

The Tec-9 | Remote Control (Minimal Wear) is a Classified pistol skin with hand-painted dials and switches spread over a blue base. Minimal Wear keeps that detail work looking sharp while sitting a notch below Factory New on price.

Design

Colorful dials and switches are hand painted across the blue body, creating a gadget-panel look built from small, distinct details rather than one big graphic. Valve is credited with the design, which comes with the flavor text "Don't touch that dial."

Tec-9 | Remote Control (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

The finish covers the full 0.00–1.00 float span, and Minimal Wear falls just above the cleanest end of it. The blue base stays vivid and the dial details remain crisp, with only the lightest hint of softening compared to a Factory New copy.

Tec-9 | Remote Control Rarity

This finish carries Classified rarity, the pink grade ranked just under Covert — a genuinely uncommon result among the standard weapon tiers.

Tec-9 | Remote Control Case and Collection

Remote Control belongs to The 2018 Nuke Collection, launched in September 2018 through the FACEIT 2018 update. Its Classified odds run around three percent from the associated case, and since that case has left active rotation, the market is now the typical way to pick one up.

Tec-9 | Remote Control Patterns

No pattern variation exists on this finish — the dials and switches sit in the same spots on every copy, so hunting for a rare seed or blue-gem version isn't relevant here. Condition and float are what actually differ.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak edition of Remote Control, though both a regular and a Souvenir version exist. The Souvenir line started with the London 2018 Nuke Souvenir Package and continued through additional Major packages at separate events afterward.

Tec-9 | Remote Control Price

Minimal Wear ranks just below Factory New on the price ladder, offering nearly the same crisp look for a bit less. It still lands within the premium bracket for the Tec-9 line. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How close does Minimal Wear look to Factory New?

Quite close. Both fall near the bottom of the finish's wide 0.00–1.00 float range, so the blue base and dial detailing look nearly identical between the two. Minimal Wear is the more budget-friendly way to get that top-tier appearance.

Which gloves suit the Remote Control finish?

Its blue base pairs naturally with blue-toned gloves for a matching loadout, while a neutral black pair lets the colorful dials stand out on their own. Either works, depending on whether you want a coordinated or contrasting look.

Why is there a Souvenir version but no StatTrak?

These come from two separate systems — Valve simply never made a StatTrak drop for this finish, while Souvenir copies are produced only for Major-tournament packages, starting with London 2018 and continuing at other Majors since.
