    Very easy to setup up, work with Bose sound bars and (Roku without programming). Super bright led back lights and the blue color makes easier to find with a flashlight over black or white remotes colors.

    It has decent functionality, but is not very sturdy, (one 1 ft drop by my 10 yr old because it has ZERO grip, and the battery cover broke.), and not good enough for the price tag, and I bought two after the backing on the first one busted within a week. I had to use tape to continue using it until I replaced it. I have my Samsung Q80 hooked up to a Samsung Soundbar, and have to switch between TV and Aud in order to go between my apps, (TV), and volume adjustment that isn't extremely delayed, which doesn't make sense at all. It's quite frustrating, and not worth the cost.

    I work with many brands of DVD players and have not found one yet that this remote cannot be programmed for. It has buttons that allow you to get into the DVD and TV set up menus and make adjustments which not all universal remotes can do. Code entry is very easy. The LED backlight makes it easy to see the buttons at night. I like the color and design. I posted a photo to show how many brands this remote will work for. I love everything about this remote and think you will too!

    Fetid useless weak garbage

    Weak, useless trash. Point it 1 degree to the left or right of the IR sensor, and it doesn't work. Waste of gas and time. Contributes to global warming having to go return this fetid garbage. Pretty color lures you in and then slaps you in the face with internal components that are probably just a crushed up Pepsi can.
