Perfect For My Bedroom!,

This review is from: Logitech Harmony 700 Rechargeable Remote with Color Screen (Electronics)
I'm a huge fan of my Harmony One, and use it to control my entire living room...from lights, TV, computer, ps3, a/v receiver, xbox 360, blu ray player, even the air conditioner!
After a year or so of perfect operation, I decided Logitech was the way to go for universal remotes...and decided to look into something for my bedroom. I Tried the 550 and 880 but they just didn't feel comfortable in my hand, and the hard buttons (namely the ones up the side of the screen) were just to hard to press or find in dark situations.
I was just about to buy another One for my bedroom (which would be total overkill) when I saw the 700 series, with a $30 dollar price difference. I picked one up and brought it home.
Setup:
The setup is just the same as all Harmony remotes, internet based, and simple! I wrote down the model numbers for my components and started the setup. I breezed through this because I'm used to using the interface, but even for...Read more

Hi, I had tried this remote but was disappointed by a couple of things. Don't get me wrong, like all Harmony's, this remote is overall great and is well worth the money if you want a great universal remote. Compared to some of the others, however, it's a little disappointing. For reference, I own a Harmony One, and 880, and have used Harmony for 6 or 7 years, back when the first remote ever came out.
If you're looking at Harmony remotes, you already know how great they are and you will know if this will do the job. I'll basically mention what I don't like about this remote, and why I would go for the 880 instead:
1) This remote has a flimsy feel to it. The buttons are squishy and have some "play" in it..they don't just press down -- they move a little in some other direction while being pressed. It's a little subtle, but noticeable compared to the other remotes. It somewhat has the feel of one of the rubberized button cheap remotes that come with the AV equipment...Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have heard so many wonderful things about the Harmony line of remotes. I could not wait to try this one out.
OUT OF THE BOX
In the box came a remote with a USB cord and a charger with partially charged rechargeable batteries.
The remote is sleek and stylish. It is weighted towards the bottom, but my hand wants to be in the middle to control the buttons up top, so there were balance issues, but no big deal.
I have lots of rechargeable NiMh batteries, so I put a pair of fully charged hybrid batteries in. That way, I wouldn't need to plug in my remote very soon. It immediately flashed instructions on the little tiny screen about how to set it up, including when to connect to a computer and what website to visit.
SETUP
Setup was easy but much more time consuming than I expected from all the buzz. I am not that familiar with the Harmony remotes, but I thought ease of setup was its allure. So when the instructions...Read more
