Logitech Harmony 650 Remote Control Review
As we collect more and more television-related gadgets, the number of remote controls expands until we find ourselves fumbling with four or five remotes trying to find the right one for the task at hand. That's where Logitech's line of Harmony Remote Controls comes in.

Replaces 6 of my remotes
This is the best remote you can get if you need to control more than 1 device.

Logitech Harmony 650 Remote Review
The Logitech Harmony 650 Universal remote is super easy to program and works great but is a bit underwhelming ergonomically. Ironically, the remote resembles a unit that Comcast issues with its set top box but doesn't feel as good in the hand to operate.

Succeeding the One The current generation of Harmony remotes was more or less ushered in by the Harmony One back in early 2008, fitting in toward the higher end of the product line (but below the big-screen Harmony 1100 ) by offering a touchscreen and rechargeable batteries.
Pros:
- Intuitive design(Relatively) affordableExtensive device database
Cons:
- Five device capDimly illuminated buttonsNo recharging circuitry

Logitech Harmony 650
The world of universal remotes can be compared to a beauty pageant: who has the best shape, who can answer all of our questions and who has the most features. The winner of the universal remote beauty pageant is the Logitech Harmony One with the Logitech Harmony 700 as runner up.
Pros:
- The ergonomic shape feels as if the remote was molded to fit your hand perfectly
Cons:
- Logitech should have allowed more than five devices to be programmed

Great Purchase Great Product
I rarely write reviews but I'm so impressed by this product I can't restrain. The initial setup was very easy, took 10 minutes. After using the remote for a while I began wishing it could control some of the complicated commands on my AV receiver and I wished I could customize several other things.

Calling it garbage is an insult to garbage.
I made this CNET account just to join the pile-on. This remote is such unabashed garbage that it's clear it only exists to show users the potential of a smart remote and urge them to upgrade to something that costs more. It has had sync issues 9/10 times.
Pros:
- It didn't give me a communicable disease
Cons:
- Everything else
