More comfortable than thicker with keyboard and Vizio TV

VIZIO XRU100 Home Theater Remote Review: No programming required as it's pre-programmed to work with Vizio hardware, despite being a universal remote with no keyboard and can be used with devices of different brands. It's slim compared to the remote that came with our 55-inch VIZIO TV, which has a slide-out keyboard underneath. The only downside is that it uses a 2032 button lithium battery, which is a bit pricey when you buy it at your local Walmart. ($4) compared to standard AAA batteries. But 2032 is lithium and likely to last a long time given the intermittent nature of long-distance use. edit 22 September 2012 - Had to replace the batteries after five months. The keyboard remote that came with our TV is great for quick data entry for streaming movies and the like, but we mostly use the original remote to change channels. The keyboard under the remote control often slides out a bit when using the remote control. It's not a scathing nuisance, but it's disturbing nonetheless. I also read a few negative reviews that indicated that the slide-out keyboard remote breaks easily. So when I came across this remote on Revain, it seemed like a good idea to get it as a backup, which would limit use of the original and potentially prevent breakage. problems. We also found additional benefits. Having two remotes in the room minimizes the problem of finding a remote that's temporarily missing because a previous user didn't put it in our "default" spot. Also, the farther away, the stronger the dominance of whoever goes far first, allowing for more intelligent discourse. And now I can finally scan other channels during commercials, despite my wife's protestations that she doesn't want to miss anything once the commercials are over! Whoever gets to the remote first contributes to a more intelligent discourse.
