Actually I don't think it'll be carpal tunnel syndrome. CTS symptoms involve having numbiness, burning, tingling or difficulity to get a grip or make a fist.

I should know because I had a hard time trying to get my hand to do anything when I came down with it but thankfully, it went away all by itself.

I think I have an idea of what you're going through, are you pressing the remote button in certain position? When I say certain position of your thumb, I meant at a certain angle. Are you pressing the button with your thumbs straight, bend a little bit, or straight up with your thumb rotated? Try different posture and see what happens. When I tried that myself, I find that my thumb kinda shakes a little bit when pressing the buttons at a angle, not straight but that sounds nothing compared to what you're going through.

Then again, that's just pure speculation
