Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great remote and a steal at this new price!

 

Despite one comment from another owner, I find this to be an easy remote to program and it "learns" other remote's codes easily.

I wish the "favorite" channel selection was device-independent.

My 2 year old learns better

 

worthless unless you intend to use it without having to teach it any commands.

I've wasted hours and hours trying to get this piece of junk to learn commands.

Excellent piece of work!

 

Nice balance of easy setup and programmable button complexity.

Only used it for 1 day.

I like it!!!

 

One remote for everything! Decent key layout.

A bit intimidating at first.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

This thing makes life easier

 

The programmed codes do pretty well, even snagged up the Comcast DVR remote pretty well!

It didn't get my Sony reciever remote very well, had to learn quite a few commands, in particular the arrow keys, which was a pain because my remote was stolen.

No Buyers Remorse

 

Easy to learn to program, each device can be sent a macro with up to 20 commands, plenty of memory for learning commands, every key backlit, good location of light button, very intuitive design and the main keys can be "felt for" in the dark.

Joystick control 'select' button in the center is a little touchy so you have to press close to the center or you may hit a direction.

Comprehensive, joy to use

 

Highly customizable, especially with editable button label text.

Very few.

Outstanding

 

Easy to program, macros are great, learned or knew everything I needed.

Haven't found any.

Best remote EVER

 

This thing learns remotes FAST.

Only one I can think of is that on the directional pad if you dont click straight down on it it might do an up and a click.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Just what the doctor ordered!

 

Easy to program, easy to read the buttons, nice joystick, good feel in my hand.

A bit on the big clunky side! Doesn't get my Onkyo CD multi-disc platter player from the codes, fortunate for me I don't use the remote for the CD player!
