Pros
Pro It beats budget remotes in terms of user experience
Although the basic functionality is similar for all universal remotes, if you'd like more features it could be worth paying extra for a more expensive one, such as the Logitech Elite. You can connect it to up to 15 devices at the same time, which is almost twice as many as the Logitech Companion, another very popular (but cheaper) model. The Elite is compatible with Amazon Alexa, so you can alternatively control all your devices with voice commands. The design is more sophisticated as well: the remote has backlit physical keys as well as a touchscreen.
Pro Distance and obstacles won't interfere its signal
The remote doesn’t have to be directly pointed at a device to send commands. You can just press “Watch TV” while preparing a meal in the kitchen and it will turn on your amp, satellite box, switch to your favorite TV channel and adjust the volume.
