'Get Connected' -Universal Remotes and Programming


A good remote of any kind has a good feel in your hand. Rounder shapes feel better, though flatter ones allow you to lay the remote on a chair arm and punch buttons.Button size is a tradeoff between versatility (more buttons) and simplicity (fewer buttons). The shape and color of buttons helps you tell them apart.Control layout is also a major factor in ease of use. Are the volume up/down buttons where you expect to find them, perhaps under your thumb? Are oft-used functions placed too close to controls that stop the show? Are less-used functions placed under a lid, where they won't be activated accidentally?In a dark room — such as a home theater — you may need additional help seeing controls.


Some remotes have luminescent or phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) keys that absorb room light and hold it after the lights go out. Even better are remotes with backlit keys that have a light source beneath them. They glow when touched or when a backlighting key is pressed.Better remotes have macro functions that will trigger a whole series of commands with the pressing of one or two buttons. This high-end feature has trickled down to more affordable remotes.A fancier remote may have an LCD (liquid crystal display) to confirm status or functions. The LCD may have backlighting to make it more readable in the dark.
