- Good remote, but not perfect
First the good: the remote works well, and is very versatile. It can learn any IR device you have, and the online database of ready to go remotes is huge, so if you have lost your old remote, it is probably in the database for you.

The form factor is easy to hold and press the buttons with one hand. The keys are back lit, and the full color screen is easy to read.

It's rechargeable, and the remote cradle helps you keep track of where you left the remote!

Now the less than good:

A) The remote does not sit solidly in its cradle - you have to wiggle it to make sure it charges.

B) The setup software leaves much to be desired:

1) You cannot reorder the devices list - it is created in the order you create devices, and that is the order they appear on the remote. If you have more than 8 devices, then some will be on a second page on the remote screen - while it would be preferable to have certain "hot" devices on that main screen.

2) The database if full of commands that don't exist, and that end up on your list of commands for you to delete - and deleting commands, and moving commands around is tedious - in some cases there are 10 pages of "additional commands" on the remote to page through - and to delete them and reorder these commands is simply annoying.

3) When you try to create your own device, the software will push a device template on you that may or may not work well.

4) You cannot set "evergreen" commands. For instance, the volume +- should be work the receiver volume REGARDLESS what device is active. You can only make this happen as an "activity", and have to individually program it for each activity.

5) In general, the software is a bit clumsy to use - it's a Java based app, and therefore does not use the drag and drop functionality of the operating system (Windoze or Mac) - and leaves much to be desired.

A well designed application would allow for drag and drop command arrangement, setting evergreen keys (such as making volume and mute affect the receiver at all times), Assigning the order of devices both on the main device menu, and while a specific activity was active.

Rating:

- Quality control is poor
Pros:
- Device works as advertised when you first get it.
- Programmability is straightforward- supporting both PC and Mac.
- Device definitely does simplify complex AV control.

Cons:
- After a year of use some of the buttons began to lose contact (channel up and down). I started reprogramming a different set of buttons to do the same action. Also some of the number keys start to lose contact as well.
- It does not appear to be able to properly recharge now- not entirely sure if it's because of the tiny recharging contacts or some internal circuit malfunction.

- Excellent
This remote is excellent.. It was easy to setup and it has so many features that you can use. I replaced all my 4 remotes with this one. Excellent product with an excellent deal...

I had one little hitch setting up the remote. Called Logitech and had it fixed in about five min. Has work perfectly since. Great remote, great service.

Received a defective unit, however, Logitech techsupport couldn't solve the problems, exchanged a new one from Amazon (thanks to Amazon's fast exchange program).
Programmed the remote was a bit difficult, but not terrible bad, need to trial and errors. After about 2hrs, my systems was up and run, lots of features. To turn on/off the devices, need to point to the devices in 2-3 seconds for them to receive the command signal. Cool products. My parents could turn on Midi-karaoke systems, or watch music video with 1 click now, normally they have to turn on: Turn-on TV & change to video2 input, turn-on Karaoke mixer & change to CDG input, Karaoke machine, turn-on Receiver & select Video input.
