Logitech Harmony 510 Advanced Universal Remote

PC-programmable universal remote; Windows and Mac compatible; activity- and device-based control; strong backlight.

Only controls five devices; two nearly identical Harmony models have more buttons and control more devices; numeric keypad buttons are too small and grouped too closely together; Web-based interface might intimidate nontechie users.

The Logitech Harmony 510 is a good PC-programmable universal remote, but you should opt for one of the two nearly identical Harmony models instead.
