A remote control has lower and upper casings. A sliding hinge has a main bracket attached to the lower casing, a sliding bracket attached to the upper casing, two positioning assemblies mounted between the main bracket and the sliding bracket, multiple fasteners mounted through the sliding bracket, the positioning assemblies and elongated slots of the main bracket and two resilient components connected to the main bracket and the fasteners. The resilient components push the sliding bracket and selectively retain the sliding bracket securely at opposite ends of the elongated slots of the main bracket. The lower and the upper casings of the remote control do not collide with each other or with the main and the sliding brackets and therefore prevent localized wear.
