It's good enough. But power users will notice some
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So there's a lot to like about this universal remote, from someone who 1) was in the market for another because they 2) own and have owned several throughout the years, from various companies, either varying results. First off, being preprogrammed to Roku set-tops is a very nice bonus. I'll be using this in the bedroom, where my Roku Ultra is. Being backlit is also a plus. USB-C rechargeable? BIG plus. My gripes, albeit limited, are still emblematic of the more common issues with all remotes, not just those that are universal: - The remote doesn't have the RGBY buttons that are found in most TV/Blu-ray remotes; while not being common buttons, they do, in niche situations, offer functionality that often can't be supplanted by the options given on a universal. - Seeing a remote with preprogrammed streaming services is ALWAYS a pain, because most people are missing at least one of the 4 services that paid the manufacturer for that prime location. I'd rather have buttons I CAN program for shortcuts. Call me a power user, I guess. - One of the things that my old Harmony 700 could do is have "scenes", to let me decide, for instance, if I want the menu button to always open the TV menu, as opposed to the menu for the respective set-top box I'm using. I've already had instances where I've used the preprogrammed streaming service buttons while the remote was set for my TV, rather than my Roku or Blu-Ray; instead of opening up the YouTube app on my Roku, it opened up the LG TV's YouTube app. My Blu-Ray player also has smart TV apps, so it's only a matter of time before I make that mistake, as well. Not a huge issue, but one that makes me roll my eyes and, for just a second, want to launch the universal remote out my window. And those three issues aren't going to detract from my experience very often. But those of us who know what universal remotes are capable of know these limitations all too well. Overall, I'm happy to have this. It is helpful, convenient, and would make an average consumer pretty happy.
