Most of us use this thing countless times, most days. (If you stopped to count, it would be almost impossible to use.)
It could also be a faraway place where you’d go to relax. What is it?

[trebor2]

Does this hinge on a word/phrase having two definitions? Or on homonyms? Are acronyms/initialisms relevant?

Is the everyday thing a piece of technology? A household item? A body part? To use it, do we use primarily our hands? Legs? Eyes? Feet? Do we have to look at it to use it? Do we have to touch it? Do we use it for pleasure? Work? To accomplish a daily task?

Faraway place: a spa? Resort? Beach? Cabin? Forest? The name of a specific place?

[GalFisk]

The piece of technology... does it have a keypad on it? with numbers? (going off the title)
Does it measure/keep time? lock/unlock something? communicate with someone else?

Do the two meanings (the piece of technology vs. the faraway place) rely on breaking up words differently (as in "covering" vs. "cove ring")?

Does the word "remote" have anything to do with it?

[JenBurdoo1]

Is it bigger than a breadbox? Can it fit in a pocket? Is it expensive? Is it related to traveling, such as a vehicle?

[Sarisberie]

Is it bigger than a breadbox? 1st thing isn't, 2nd thing is. Can it fit in a pocket? no Is it expensive? define 'expensive' Is it related to traveling, 1st thing isn't, 2nd thing is. such as a vehicle? 2nd thing could involve a vehicle but isn't a vehicle itself.

EDIT: In theory, first thing might fit in a pocket as sizes vary, but could confuse.

[JenBurdoo1]

Is the first a handheld device? Electronic? Is it part of something larger? Such as a keypad on a larger keyboard?

WAG: Is it a common sequence of letters or numbers that matches up with the name of a remote place?

[trebor2]

Is it a tablet? Detachable keyboard for a laptop screen? Any computer keyboard, regardless of whether or not it's detachable? A computer itself? Is it something that can connect to the internet?

People that don't have to look at it to use it: because they're blind? Because you actually don't need to look at it to get what you need out of it? Because you don't need to look at it to operate it if you know what you're doing? (Like typing or playing piano for some of us?) Is the sound of the device important? Broadly speaking, do you input info into the device? Get info from it?

[trebor2]

Is it a specific key on the keyboard? Escape? Space? (Less likely than escape, but I can definitely space out and relax.) A letter key? Number?

Would this puzzle work if keyboards didn't exist and the item was a house key instead?

Thing you use countless times, most days = space bar
Faraway place where you’d go to relax = space bar
Perhaps one of the Earth's satellites has a secret bar on board. Otherwise, you might have to go to Milliways (aka The Restaurant at the End of the Universe) and order a Pangalactic Gargleblaster.
