Harmony Touch

Logitech's Harmony range have long been be universal remotes of choice for the discerning clutterphobe. Intuitive to use and a doddle to set up, they group functions by activity rather than by device and are the simpler for it. The first update to the range in several years, the Harmony Touch builds on the elegant simplicity of the Harmony One, jettisoning many of the former's hard buttons in favour of an enhanced, centrally situated touchscreen, which now boasts gesture support!

The result brings the remote firmly up to date, integrating the remote's number pad into the touchscreen to free up space, while retaining key hard buttons like the colour commands for blu-ray players. You can add cutom channels (and icons) directly via the remote and the customizable screen allows easy access to all manner of esoteric commands from any of the quarter of a million devices in the remote's database. If your living room has more than three remotes visible at any one time then you'd be mad not to want one. More information
