I like the control well enough. The main thing is it works! Having said that, the layout is a bit odd and takes some getting used to. That's true with any control, but some of the primary buttons that I use the most, (play, stop, fast forward and reverse) are pretty small and close together, so they're a bit hard to use. However, we lost our remote and original equipment seems to be out of production or otherwise unavailable, so this remote is great!
