I had an MX-500 years ago, along with an IRClone device, which allowed me to program it from my PC via a USB cable. It was the best remote imaginable, far better than much more expensive touch-screen remotes I tried. Nice big buttons, everything programmable, great mix of standard-function buttons for most frequently used functions and buttons with editable LCD labels for functions specific to a given device.
Alas, that MX-500 and the IRClone are long gone, but recently I bought another MX-500. Time has moved on, while the MX-500 has not, and the internal device database appears not to have been updated in years. This meant I had to program most of the functions for my current TV, DVD player, DVD recorder, and even DirecTV satellite set-top box by learning each function from the device's original remote.
Ok, so I had to sit there for a few hours teaching the remote, and editing labels. But now that I'm done, I've - once again - got the best remote imaginable. Nice big buttons,

I've had this thing for over 3 years now and it continues to be perfect. Totally excellent. My girlfriend got this for me as a gift and I still praise her for it.
Solid construction, excellent surface coating, durable buttons, just an overall well made product. Its been dropped countless times, rolled over on, sat on, you name it and the thing laughs it all off.
I have never had any problems programming it, and its worked fine with everything Ive tried it on. I never use the pre-programed codes, I always program in the functions myself matching it up with the original remote so I can set the buttons up as I please. I just like doing it that way better, not that the other option doesnt work fine. I have my own layout that Im used to and so program to fit that.
I have used this with 3 different televisions, 4 DVD players, 1 VHS, 2 Home Theater Systems, and its worked fine with everything, programmed fine off the remote from each, never a single problem.
Battery life depends really on
