Review on Gmatrix Big Button Universal Remote Control - User-Friendly Access to All Your Devices! by Jamie Behm

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terribly poorly made

This "remote control" is an absolute joke. Maybe the only thing you really need to know is that all the knobs are so cheap that they either (a) don't work half the time. You tap on it, or (b) immediately start repeating itself insanely fast as soon as you touch it. Since I was trying to use this with a Comcast cable box I had to go through a "learning" process, quite simple, until the buttons worked properly, but because they _didn't_ work it meant I tried the to reprogram keys, another random selection actually worked at all. The ones that _worked_ basically repeated like crazy, so as soon as I lightly touched "4" for example, it immediately tried to jump to channel "444". As a final insult, I decided one day there was no point in keeping this junk, I went to get AAA batteries (since they weren't included in the kit of course) and the cheap spring that was supposed to hold the batteries in place was so sharp it caught behind the battery compartment, expanded, and then rebounded and stuck right into my finger. So yes. not a fan. Luckily I ordered a few other candidates including this one which is _much_ better: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W8JFPG/
