Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is my third Logitech Harmony remote, the most expensive, and my least favorite. If I had purchased this, it would be on its way back to Amazon for a refund. The functionality is that bad, for my usage. The significantly less expensive Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote is a far more useful remote for me than the Touch, because it puts my most used buttons under my fingers where I can operate things by feel - particularly the play, pause, skip ahead (skip commercials), skip back, fast forward and rewind buttons. With the Touch, SOME of those buttons are at the very top, not within finger reach when the remote is held with the otherwise very comfortable curved back in one's palm. But, get real: if you watch TV on a DVR - you are using the 'skip ahead' button all the time to skip commercials, right? On the Touch, that function is in a scrolling list on the touch screen. Not only do you have to touch the screen once to wake it up (no motion sensor wake-up like other Harmony remotes) - but you then have to actually look at the screen to be careful you touch exactly the desired command... if you're lucky enough to have the screen with that command displayed and don't have to go through menus to get it to show up. I could write pages about how poorly designed this Harmony Touch is, but I doubt if anyone wants to read it, so: Bottom line: Good: if you have an existing Harmony remote, the MyHarmony web site transfers all of the functions from that remote to the Touch. The remote feels nice in the hand, and they've moved the USB port from the IR transmitting end, to the opposite end, which might give better IR spread. Bad: basic functions are not within finger reach when held as designed. Many basic functions have no physical button, requiring scrolling and careful touching of the right command on the touch. Any screen command required at least two taps, as the first tap merely wakes the screen up.
