About a year ago I purchased a used (old - 2004) MX-3000 from ebay. The USB was missing, but I was able to buy one from URC. At the time I couldn't afford it (new) otherwise :).
I had access to the software through the rep where I purchased my MX-850.
The customization was awesome and the remote worked great except...
The hard buttons are awfully stiff and slow to respond. I thought I could put up with it, but its a pain to even change the channel or lower the volume. My MX-850 is much softer and responsive.
Here is the question: Is my MX-3000 uniquely stiff and unresponsive or is that the case for all? I don't have the benefit of a local retailer to see a demo unit at work so I must rely on your experiences.
I want to decide whether to buy a new (hopefully improved) MX-3000 or move to something softer like the MX-850 or the MX-950 or something similar you may recommend. If the buttons were softer and more responsive, I wouldn't change the MX-3000 for anything!
Please let me know your experiences with this remote...THX
