Logitech Harmony Advanced Universal Remote for Xbox 360 reviewed

Along with the many customers Sony must have lost over the whole rootkit fiasco, another Sony devotee has recently jumped ship, eschewing his Japanese giant's universal remote for the $130 Logitech Harmony Advanced Universal Remote for Xbox 360 (to be...

Logitech Harmony 600 review: Logitech Harmony 600

Logitech Harmony 600

Powerful universal remote with great ergonomics; simple text-based LCD screen surrounded by five contextual buttons; Web programmable via Windows or Mac PCs; excellent button layout and overall design; supports custom sequences/macros; sub-$80 price tag.

Only controls five devices; requires Internet-connected PC to program; an additional $20 gets you the step-up model with a color screen and graphical icons.

If you can't spend $100 or more on a universal remote, the Logitech Harmony 600 is a great choice.

Logitech Harmony 520 review: Logitech Harmony 520

Logitech Harmony 520

More attractive shape than previous Harmony remotes; strong backlight; choice between device or activity usage; intuitive, Web-based programming; Windows and Mac compatible.

No rechargeable battery option; numeric keypad buttons are too small and grouped too closely together; Web interface might intimidate nontechie users; two nearly identical Harmony models have more buttons.

At less than $100, the sleekly designed Logitech Harmony 520 is a relative bargain among PC-programmable remotes--if you don't count the two other nearly identical Harmony models.

Logitech Harmony 688

Web-programmable universal learning remote; activity-based programming and usage; DVR-friendly button layout; fully backlit keys and LCD; compatible with Windows and Macintosh machines.

Mushy rubber buttons; lack of spacing between keys makes it hard to navigate by touch; no RF support; Web interface may frustrate some users.

The Web-programmable Logitech Harmony 688 universal remote is a must-have home-theater accessory.

Logitech Harmony 880 Universal Remote

Owning a nice home-theater system is great—until it's time to teach your family or friends how to operate it. Heck, I bet even you get confused sometimes. Which remote changes the channel or turns up the volume? How do you coordinate powering...

The Harmony 880 represents an advancement in some ways and a setback in others with respect to the Harmony 676. Its color LCD, unified activity buttons, rechargeable battery, and motionsensing illumination are important improvements, but the buttons...

Review: Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

Remote controls are really great because you don't have to get up when you want to change the channel or volume. The only problem is when you have lots of devices you also have lots of remotes. A universal remote gets rid of the clutter, but they add a...

Logitech 880 Remote

With all the complicated electronics we've got in our homes these days, it's nice to have some help getting them all under control. Learning how to control each one of them can seem like a full-time job unless you've got a firm grip on the Logitech...
