Logitech Harmony 880

[Geeky Info] For this model, Logitech has gone with all hard plastic buttons–generally a good thing, though buttons such as the video-transport buttons (record, play, rewind, fast-forward, pause, and stop) and the 12-digit keypad are still spaced very close to each other, so it’s hard to operate by feel alone. However, it is worth noting that context-specific side keys–volume and channel up/down–are raised nicely in just the right places.
