I didn't realize the complexity of programming this remote requires. Maybe I'm just spoiled because all my other remotes are from Logitech harmony and setup is a simple as plugging it into your computer, it does most of the work for you no need to look up remote codes. This remote is definitely solid, well built but heavy, it will just take a little time to get it programmed.
This remote is out of production but is by far one of the best and most powerful remotes made. Use your own images for buttons or backgrounds. Program long series of commands. I bought an extra one in case mine dies.

I think its decent if cheap enough,I paid only 99 cent plus 10 shipped including a rf extender charging base,instructions. I did buy three new batteries for 9,so 20 total. Screen has decent color,doesn't lag to much and learning feature very easy,I didn't even read instructions and figured it out in 10 minutes. I have five other universals and the best is the acoustic research aarx18g so I bought three.It's thick and wide so don't plan on using with one hand,I can but not as easy as your average size remote. But this remote is very functional for under 30 bucks. If you can find aarx18g or nevo c3 under 50, I'd buy that.
Pros Learn function extremely simple from old remote Touch screen Color screen Replaceable battery compartment Charge base Light
Cons Screen could have better color and more color Thick and wide Generic gray color All buttons not lit,four under LCD,but function is on LCD, for corresponding button so ok
