Logitech Harmony 520 Remote Control

- Learning port for updating IR codes
- backlit keypad
What we liked:
- Low price
- Easy setup
- Help button
- Great customer support
What we disliked:
- Cheap contruction
- Some buttons hard to press
Conclusion
Overall we liked the 520. Although the construction seemed cheaper and the device seem more fragile than the 880 or 688. The 520 still performed its functions as advertised. The buttons on this remote are a bit bigger than previous Harmony remotes but they were difficult to press at times. The activity button required are very hard push to activate. Programming the 520. like all Harmony remotes, is a snap. But with all that said the only reason to buy this remote is the price.If you can afford another $100US get the 688 and the 880 is even better because its bright color screen and charging station. But that will set you back $250US
