Title: Buttons stop working...
Review: I've owned this remote for almost 4 years now and the volume up and channel up buttons no longer work. As other reviewers noted, they took more and more pressure/time to register until they stop responding altogether. That's pretty unacceptable in a $30 keyboard and outrageous in a $200 remote control.The software that came with the remote was a general PITA to use. It took me a half dozen hours to setup the remote; adding my devices, patching the software, teaching it some devices one button at a time, and then finally programming activities. Despite forum posts on the topic, it was never able to switch to the HDMI input on my television, so I was forced to change the tv input manually whenever I wanted to watch a DVD.Otherwise the remote has worked well. It's battery life was good. The activities concept was intuitive. It felt good to hold. The buttons were logically arranged.Too bad it stopped working.
