Superb quality - better than my original TV remote

I bought this remote to replace the original VUR10 remote for my Vizio XVT323SV TV. This remote had a sliding QWERTY keyboard, and it turned out that the wires going to the keyboard were frayed and broken. It has a fixed QWERTY keyboard on the back of the remote control. I expect it to be a bit more reliable over time and also easier to type (better key access) than the VUR10. This remote control does not have Bluetooth like the VUR10. I thought it might be a problem when typing on the keyboard with the remote on the side of the TV, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I believe the XRT503 remote is similar to this one (compatible with the XVT323SV) and has Bluetooth, but it's a lot more expensive and I didn't find this feature necessary. I have found that this remote also works with our Vizio M221NV TV. This TV came with a VR17 remote that does not have a QWERTY keyboard. I ordered another one of these remotes for this TV as the price was very cheap and QWERTY will make searching much easier. This XRT302 is thinner and lighter than the VUR10 or VR17 and better looking. Cons: The battery cover is difficult to remove and there are no instructions on how to remove it. Eventually I found I had to poke my nails in between the halves of the body and pull up to break them off and it's tight. Reinserting is much easier. With almost full-length buttons on either side, it's a bit difficult to make sense of the dark, top/bottom, and front/back. It's a little weird having buttons at the bottom, but I'll probably get used to it. The remote I received had an ugly black and white sticker with the word "REMOTE CONTROL" covering the Vizio logo. I'm not sure why it was there. I took it off and had to spend some time removing the sticky mucus.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
