User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Perfect.
If you need a universal remote and you want one to also control your XBOX 360, do not hesitate, this is the one.

I had searched for a while for the perfect universal remote and finally decided on this one and I truly reccomend it.

The user manual, which is basically non existent is not that great, but once you set it up and spend some time with it, it’s great.

Give yourself an hour or two to fine tune the remote, and you’ll ask how you have gone so long without it.

I have a Comcast DVR, RCA Audio Reciever, Samsung HDTV, a Pelican AV Selector, and the XBOX 360 and this remote controls all of them.

You also create a “profile” for each activity using the different sources. If I watch TV, I’m using the TV, the Reciever and the DVR and the profile I create controls all three, plus I can make any buttons do whatever I want. Because the default choice for OnDemand was far up on the remote I made one of the unused XBOX buttons (yellow) my OnDemand button.

The remote is actually better than I thought it was going to be, serioulsy. I searched for ages and I’m glad I made this choice. The only reason I’m writing this review is because the remote worked beyond what I thought it would do and I figure there has to be more people like me trying to figure out which one is best.

One hint I’ll share is that if you click on “devices” it will cycle through your sources and profiles, something I found by accident that made the remote even easier to use. I thought I had to use the LCD select areas to get back to my “watch tv” setting, but by hitting “devices” it will cycle back to you profile.

Anyways, easily 5 stars!

1 Star Doesn’t work well with older equipment
I have a 5 year old 37 inch Sharp Aqous television. This device will not set the inputs correctly. I have spent 5+ hours on the phone w/ customer support. ( Friendly but didn’t fix the problem ). I had an older Harmony that worked until the buttons stopped functioning. I guess I need to upgrade my TV to make the remote work well :-(

5 Stars One remote to rule them all!!!
One remote, seriously! Super easy setup, super easy to use, if you can read, you can do it.

5 Stars Flawless Convenience
Programming this remote was fast and easy. I can even input more actions if I want to.There are a lot of features I haven’t even used yet. I got my money’s worth. The remote automatically turns on all components needed for whatever it is I want to do. If I want to play video games. At the push of one button my xbox,home theater, and tv come on, and I never have to leave my bed. Thanks logitech for spoiling me. It is a great buy.

5 Stars WOW IT EVEN CONTROLS MY WIFE
I bought this product thinking that it would control all my electronics. TV, xbox 360, dvr and a home theater. Surprisingly it did just that and not only did it control every electronic in my theater room (including my AC unit and Fan) it also has a way of making my wife not enter my theater room. Its really exciting i get to play my xbox worry free of her not wanting to come in there and watch grey’s anatomy or the hills. She is surprisingly terrified of it and even though it dosnt “control” her it keeps her out of my game room. I GIVE IT a PERFECT 10.

5 Stars My Son Loves IT!
We bought the Yoke and Pedals and my son looks like he could take off from our house. He’s a diehard fan of Microsoft Flight Simulator and hopes to be a pilot in the near future. These items are total plug-and-play. We’ve had no problems with them whatsoever. He’s a very picky kid and hates when things go wrong on his computer so this was a welcome addition!

5 Stars flight sim pedals
These pedals are great with windows xp. Just plug them in and your ready to go!!!!

4 Stars Seems good so far
It was like learning to sim-fly all over again, though I must admit that flying with rudder pedals is much better than a twisty stick. A coordinated turn is a thing of beauty now. This purchase is second only to TIR4 in terms of boosting my sim enjoyment, maybe even tied with force feedback joystick. I’ve had no problems with the CH pedals whatsoever with the various flight sims I have (about 3 weeks now), but did not install the management software — it requires that you have ALL CH products. The pedals should work if you just plug in the USB and in-game choose them as rudder control…

5 Stars CH Flight Simulator Pro Pedals
I am an amatuer with this stuff, but believe me these pedals sure made me feel like a professional. Just plug them in, take off and fly. I am very happy with the quality of this product. I must also say how impressed I am with Amazon’s service form the time of order and with-in a few days having the product arrive.

I also like to play with my NASCAR racing game and these pedals also work excellent with that. I always heard that CH Products were good and now I know why.

5 Stars While nothing can beat the feel of the real flight controls, CH Product’s Pro Pedals adds a new challenge!
While nothing can beat the feel of the real flight controls, CH Product’s Pro Pedals adds a new challenge! It’s pretty hard to bounce between the Sim Yoke and the keyboard when trying a cross wind landing, but with Pro Pedals you learn to coordinate your moves without poping a tire. Once you have the Yoke you are going to want the Pedals…
