Hi

I am looking for a remote that is easy to be used by elderly people - it should have good size buttons, a good touch and feel when pressing the buttons, easy to be used (no screen oder touch screen) and of above average design and quality. ANd ideally also backlight option. Programmable for minimum 2 devices - better 3-5. And of course JP compatible

I checked the OFA homepage, but there is nothing suitable.

Where else can I look for remotes that can be programmed with JP?

Thanks!

This is a common request, but unfortunately, there isn't a suitable remote.

Thank you MaskedMan,

the buttons have the right size - however - I am looking for a more valuable remote.

Thanks again!

What do you mean by "more valuable"?

I mean that the remote should represent a high-class equipment.
eg some kind of stylish design, high-gloss surface, even aluminium like finish is fine, have some - even additional - weight

But as I learned from remote-central, there is none for that price.

So I will have to pay more - I understand

Whats the next best remote that us computer programmable with only /mainly hard buttons with the lowest price?

I have now looked around alot and found the new RF50

Is this computer programmable with JP?

Thanks again

There are no expensive JP1 remotes. The reason JP1 exists is to program inexpensive remotes.

Actually there are a few, some of the European Kameleons can be pretty expensive.

Clara, I think you should look at the old "Harmony Zapper" (or Harmony 745, as it's now called).

As you can see from the pic below, it only has 13 buttons, you need to scroll through options on the screen to get the desired results.

Here's a review at Remote Central:
