URC-6011, 8811, 8011 sizes?

Post by whitepelican »

I need to replace a very worn-out URC-6011 that has served me well for several years. My wife is very familiar with it, so she wants the same remote. But after looking at Robman's remotes for sale, I'm wondering if I shouldn't get a 8011 for the same price as a 6011. How do the physical sizes of these two remotes compare? I also own an 8811, and my wife complains that that one is too big (she's always saying stuff like that). So, is the 8011 similar in size to the 6011, or is it more like the size of the 8811, or somewhere in between? I can't find actual dimensions on these remotes anywhere on this site or the web.

I believe the 801x is the same size as the 881x, which is larger than the 601x.

I think Mark is mistaken about that. I think the 801x is 601x size, not 881x size.

I guess Rob would know for sure.

That's quite possible, and since I can't seem to get to the OFA website from here at work I can't double-check.

My reply was based on my thinking that the 801x was just a non-learning version of the 881x. I guess it's possible that it's really an 8-device version of the 601x.

Will the real remote please stand up?!?! :eek:

From the OFA website, it does look like the 8011 is the same size as the 6011. I just wasn't sure if I could trust those tiny photos to all be scaled the same. And I couldn't seem to find any actual dimensions anywhere, so that's why I came to you experts for help.

Yes, the 8011 is the same size as the 6011:

The URC-6011, URC-8011 and URC-6131 are all exactly the same size. You can even swap the lower half of the shells between the models if you like.
