Provides all the functions needed and they can be performed in the dark.
Generally, don't review an item I haven't been using for very long. But these remotes work great. Programing was simple and quick. Touch any button and they light up in the dark. Our room is about 16 feet deep, and these have zero issues with controlling our tv and or DVD player. They have the range to reach our devices, and those devices respond instantly to commands. Have been able to do the basics of course but also have been able to control the tv's settings, such as speaker output, internet connection, all the menu functions that our LG tv remote could do, but I can do it in the dark. Shame on LG for not providing remotes for their products that you can use in the dark. If I had one complaint, that would be, you have to push a button to get the remote to light up. When we had COX as our cable provider, they supplied a remote that once it was moved, it would light up automatically. Wake up LG. But thank you GE for providing a nicely designed remote that does everything I need and can be used in the dark.

So far, so good!
The remote to my tv stopped working & reaching for the buttons on the back grew old real fast. And the use of separate remotes for 3 devices was already annoying.This remote is easy to program. The light colored buttons make it easy to locate on my dark upholstery & I like their placement. Mute is very important when commercials are a possibility, so I prefer it in an easily accessible location.The blue backlight is brighter than necessary, but it’s certainly easy to read in the dark! lol I like the compact size of the remote. But as another has mentioned, the rounded back isn’t a great design, as the remote tends to roll off the arm off the sofa too easily.I was surprised to find a universal remote, with all the features I wanted at this price…I hope it stands the test of time!

Works with Roku Express Stick (but not with Roku+ Stick)...
Nicely designed in terms of form factor. I bought the black model that allows you to choose backlight colors. I had a lot of frustration trying to program my Roku+ Stick (this is one of the "better" ones in the product line with built in volume controls), but none of the codes worked. Before I decided to pack in in and return it, I combed through the Amazon Q&A section and found people saying that it seems to work with the Roku Express stick. This was interesting because the official feedback from the company was incorrect - they state that the remote only works with full-on Roku TVs, not the stick products. Seeing this info from that astute Amazon customer, I grabbed the Roku Express Stick from a different TV and swapped it out in the room and television where I wanted the GE Universal Remote to work. It worked just liked it should - I got it working in one shot, the first code "took" and I was in business. / None of this would have been necessary if Roku had better designed products with backlighting built in. In a darkened bedroom at night, it's hard to see your controls. / The moral of this story is that the GE Universal remote works exactly as I had hoped. It control both TV and Streaming device (plus other stuff like DVD players), all in one simple, backlit remote. I'm beyond happy with the quality and price.

GE Universal Remote works well with two different smart tvs!
I wanted a universal remote for my brand new 24" smart tv and saw this GE brand remote designed with a backlight feature. I ordered it in USED-VERY GOOD condition and it came literally the very next day! THANK YOU AMAZON!I researched the smart tv codes and got it to work with both Samsung and Ignacio (Fire Tv) brands AT THE SAME TIME! WOW! HAPPY!Hint: You can save up to four codes on four different devices on the GE Universal remote. I managed to save two separate codes, both smart tvs, both different brand names and sizes, each with its own code programmed on the remote via TV button. The I/O button (power ON/OFF) flashes red when paired. I thought the LED at top of remote was supposed to turn RED but it is the I/O button. Also, I was trying to figure out how to get the rainbow colors, like it shows on the ad, but it only has one color per COLOR button. It is a nice remote so far!
