Logitech - Harmony Smart Wireless Keyboard - Black

The Logitech Harmony Smart Wireless Keyboard is one of those things that you didn't know you needed until you actually get it. I was thrilled to be sent one to check out. One of the annoyances of my streaming box is the typing one letter at a time by moving the arrows on the remote. This takes care of that. Finding a particular show or movie is a snap. I love that you can use your smartphone as a remote in addition to the keyboard. It's great that it works without being pointed directly at the television. I'd love the ability to set up even more devices with additional USB adapters. The size is large, but it's very lightweight and easy to use. It's been a great addition to my family room.

This keyboard was very easy to set-up and works really well at controlling my Vizio smart TV as well as my LG smart Blu-ray. The buttons do what they are supposed to, the only issue I had was everything locking up when I'd try to pause after watching a show on Netflix. After doing a hub reset with the help of Logitech support everything seems to be functioning again for the moment. Overall I like this keyboard to cut down on the number of remotes as long as the freezing issue doesn't return.

I received this Logitech Harmony Smart Keyboard to review and we're loving it. It arrived in a well-packaged box with the components well laid out and away from each other. I was uncertain if the keyboard would work with our Samsung Smart TV as it was not on the compatibility list on Logitech's website however we found that it does work. We opted to use an iPod to download the Harmony app. That was easy peasy. Then the hub needed to update - that was easy peasy. Connecting though, took some trouble shooting. Unlike another reviewer stating that there weren't any trouble shooting tips provided - there was in our instruction booklet. The first thing to trouble shoot was to unplug the hub for a couple minutes. We opted to just unplug it for the night and return the next day to finish trouble shooting. Upon our return, we plugged in the hub and from there - we were good to go. We were connected. Now we don't have many of the devices other reviewers speak of hooked to the TV but one thing we do have is a digital converter box. The keyboard will not turn on the converter box. Honestly, for us, that is a minor issue. Enhancing the use of our Smart TV, and simplifying the use of it - makes it a well worth product to own.

I set up the keyboard and hub in two separate places. I was a little confused at first how everything worked together. Once I figured it out was able to get everything to work alright at the first place. At the next place I tried to set it up the app said there was some kind of error. Eventually, I had to delete the app and reinstall it. Somehow that fixed the problem, and the keyboard worked great after that. I've used it with my two different Rokus and TVs. I used it with my PlayStation3 as well. The app worked relatively well as well. I can't wait until I have someone come over and I turn on multiple devices with a push of a button on a keyboard. As a nerd, it is always fun to do.Typing with the keyboard is very handy on certain platforms and situations.

We already had a Harmony Software Remote from Best Buy but we added on devices that we didnt know how to add to our Harmony remote so we still had multiple remotes. Also it was awkward to type in info on Apple TV and Blu Ray Player while streaming movies. Now with this awesome keyboard, we have only have to keep track of the keyboard and finding a good movie is much faster on the keyboard!

We found the keyboard and app to work really well with the Roku and our DVD player. With the push of a button we can easily switch everything over quickly. It will change the TV input and turn on the right device depending on what we want to do. Speeds things up a bit and makes it easy for anyone in the family to quickly do what they want!

Took me awhile to figure out how to get my Samsung Smart TV to recognize the keyboard, but once that happened it worked perfectly. So far all the Apps (the ones I use) seem to work w/this. It was easy to setup using my phone and it copied my other "Activities" from my Logitech Remote. This will not completely replace your remote, they are some features that you just cant' use this for, so keep your remote close by.

Logitech People have nice ideas sadly they don't know how to express those well to the public. Unless you are computer genius ... it will take you a while to figure out how this device works for real. Since logitech doesn't provide a good booklet or a CD-Room instructions to set up things up... Most of people won't have pleasant time setting things up , I can tell ... I was about to RETURN IT since my keyboard was not doing what it was supposed to do... If you already bought it ... don't give it ... just make sure that when you add a new device the more information that you have to set up such of Model number would help you ... Connect your devices with their activities as well. Remember to have your app downloaded in your smart phone or tablet. Took me awhile to figure out how but now all my devices are operating well with the software app or with the harmony keyboard. Another suggestion buy the keyboard with the Hub package! Now ... Logitech could have done a better job with the keyboard material since it doesn't look with a nice finished cut so I removed one star for that ! I put away all my remote controls for now... Harmony Smart keyboard is working like a charm !!!
