I have tried all the other remotes in this price range and found that this one is the only one with an ergonomic design that my wife and I both felt comfortable with. The slim "stick" like design as well as learning capabilities are its best features.
The distance of its IR is remarkable and the stickers are an asset if the labling doesn't suit your needs. I'm not sure how long the labling stickers will last, but if you clean the area with alcohol under the button before using the sticker, I'm sure it should last quite some time.

Once again daniel your review is quitre helpful to others. Keep up the good work.
