I used Logitech remotes for a long time, and I was impressed with this remote, since it supports Bluetooth devices like FireTV. Easy to setup devices. I'm not sure how it would handle multi-device environments like set top box, with TV and receiver, since it appears you can only be on one device at a time. I need the remote to control volume on the receiver, while changing channels on DirecTv. I didn't see how to do that without swithing devices on the remote, though maybe it's possible.Since this remote does not support the DirecTv fob that I have, it was not usable for me. I don't know whether my DirecTv fob is Bluetooth or RF, but this remote had it listed under IR, which of course a behind the TV fob is never IR.

I own the previous version of the Sofabaton U2 remote and love it. I still use it after owning for multiple years. The only thing I wished it had was backlit keys. So I was very happy to find out that they released a new version with this feature. I wasted no time ordering and am very pleased with how well the backlit keys work. Just pick up the remote and every key is beautifully backlit so that you can easily see them in darker rooms.The U2 remote feels premium, is easy to set up and use, and has other great features. The shape is ergonomic and comfortable to hold. The button layout is intuitive and you can easily switch devices by using the scroll wheel and OLED screen.Set up is a breeze with the Sofabaton smartphone app, it walks you through in straightforward steps. It allows you to pair 15 separate devices, which should be more than enough for most people's use cases. You can program seamlessly and quickly within the app if your remote is found in the large database, or if not, you can easily teach the Sofabaton specific IR commands by pointing the two remotes towards each other. The app also allows you to customize keys and create macros, if desired. Macros are very useful for allowing one button press to perform multiple actions, such as turning on your TV, soundbar, and streaming device with one click. You can program much more complex macros as well, so the possibilities are endless.I can easily recommend the Sofabaton U2 for anyone. For those that are not tech savvy, the user friendly app and easy set up will be appreciated. And for power users, the remote's versatility, wide compatibility, and macros are valued features. Simply put, it is the best universal remote on the market.

I hope my review of the Sofabaton U2 will help others looking for a multi-device universal remote control that will work for people with physical limitations like myself. I'm a Quadriplegic with very little use of my fingers, wrists. I have a Hisense U7N TV with a Bluetooth connected remote, a STB & a Satellite box. Both of these remotes are connected via IR. Using the 3 remotes is next to impossible for me. My previous remote was the Logitech 665 remote for the last several years. Then Logitech discontinued them, I went looking for a suitable replacement. I believe the Sofabaton U2 is the closest I have found!Programming the Sofabaton U2 with the Sofabaton app was pretty straightforward. I did have to use the learning function on a few keys that weren't programmed directly via the app. *Please see Note below*After 5 days of use.Pro's:Fantastic Customer service! If I've had any questions they've responded back within 24 hours.Larger Raised Buttons!Easy to set-up "Macros" using the app. Macros allow you to combine multiple actions into 1 button.Con"s: Not rechargeable. It uses 2-AA Batteries.No Voice Control - No microphone on the remoteThe " Remote Learning" function can only be done by IR remote controls. But this is typical of most all universal remote controls.Neutral: No "Activity" buttons, only the "Scroll Wheel". The scroll wheel is used to select your devices instead of buttons. This is something I haven't seen on any other remote control's before.Note: It takes two hands to program the Sofabaton U2 remote.But it's easy to program with the app.it does help to have someone who has use of their hands & fingersConclusion: For me Sofabaton U2 is the closest remote to the Logitech 665 that I have found on the market today! The ability to combine 3 remotes into 1 is fantastic! The raised buttons make a great fit to work for my physical limitations. As a bonus it’s affordable!

Very similar to the first version of the remote. Same layout. The tactile feel of the buttons is smoother on this version. It's a bit larger, which will just take some getting used to, but the buttons are all in the same place.My main complaint is the same as the first version. The remote settings are saved on the remote, not on a cloud, so you can't save them externally to automatically reprogram the remote if its memory is lost, or you want to transfer your settings to a new remote. However, with this version, all I did was choose my TV model from the compendium, and it automatically programmed not only all of the IR settings for the TV, but the Bluetooth settings for my Fire Stick, which is what I use to watch TV/stream, so I didn't have to program anything other than the 4 custom buttons I used on the first remote version. It basically set itself up perfectly. It also automatically remapped the volume controls to the sound bar before I even added it to the device list.My only other personal quirk is that I don't like the glossy plastic on the face of the remote. It always scratches and scuffs so easily. The same texture plastic on the back of the remote would go nice on the front for a cleaner look that would last. This is just a personal preference, and not a flaw.
