I absolutely LOVE this remote. It replaced 6 separate ones for me, which was worth the price alone. The customization options are great (a little cumbersome to setup, but you only have to do that once, anyways) and it's extremely intuitive once you get it set up. It has just the right number of buttons to do everything you need to do without overwhelming you with options.
The only thing I don't like about it is some of the lag times with it. Even with the delays reduced to 0, it doesn't signal my receiver's volume control quickly. I end up having a short .5s delay between pressing the button and seeing the effect. This leads to me overshooting the volume controls a lot.
Other than that, it's just about perfect for everything else. The remote even knows how long it takes for my TV to power up before attempting to switch the input. Brilliant!

“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
