Simple universal remote with no screen on it. I still prefer my other Harmony 65x remote with the screen that I can add special commands.

It's a really good device to control all your media gadgets. You can even hide them if you want.

I had previously picked up the harmony hub and keyboard combo and decided I wanted to add on the remote. It's nice and light and has thoughtfully placed buttons. My two issues are that it uses a button battery instead of something like AAAs that can be recharged, and there are no backlit buttons. Other than that, solid remote.

This remote is a great addition to my Logitech Harmony keyboard as it does functions not available on the keyboard, yet it is cheaper than buying a new remote system.

I really like this remote. I had an older Xbox unit and this is much smaller and I think easier to use. It takes a bit to get used to the long and short presses function, but it has worked flawlessly so far.

I bought this as a companion to the Harmony Hub and the Hub App was able to add this remote and customize it very easily. What I love about the remote is that it doesn't need a direct line of site to the hub. It just works no matter where the remote is pointing. From what I understand this remote is an add on for the hub and won't work by itself without the hub. The reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because I don't like that it uses a coin battery cell instead of letting you use regular batteries. I know it's to keep the remote slim but honestly it's not that much smaller than most controls. Still overall a great buy.

As someone who watches TV almost completely from the net, I'm happy to have found something to control my TV and my fire TV/firestick. Just wish I didn't have to buy the hub/remote for each TV.

Not good if you want to "add" a remote. Hub will not work with multiple remotes so this didn't work out for me and I returned it. Would have been nice to keep a remote in each room since my hub controls devices in two different rooms.

One of the best universal remotes around. I just replaced my overpriced URC MX-880 remote which always required me to pay someone else $99 to program them. This remote is easily programed using the app that making changes on the fly is so easy.
