Over the past few years, our entertainment center has acquired and accumulated a DVR, a gaming console, Blu-Ray DVD Player, Digital Cable Box, a Roku, and several remotes. Sometimes it can be a trying experience trying to figure out which remote goes with what, especially at night when I’m half-asleep after a long, busy day, yet still wanting to catch up with some of my favorite TV shows. I strive on obtaining simplicity in my life, but this isn’t my idea of simplification in the least. Then, one day simplification arrived in the form of a lightweight and sleek, yet versatile and functional keyboard, which will be no other than the Logitech Harmony Smart Keyboard ($149.99).
Exclusively sold at Best Buy, the Logitech Harmony Smart Keyboard has the capabilities of an universal remote for up to eight streaming media devices, such as Roku, XBox One, Apple TV, and TiVo. Also, there is a Harmony App for the iOS & Android smartphones that turns them into personal universal remote, as well. As if it doesn’t get better than that, navigation and searching is easier and faster. Forget annoyingly tedious on-screen keyboards for streaming movies and TV shows from Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, and YouTube!
The Lowdown
– The Harmony Smart Keyboard delivers the full Harmony control experience for TV-connected Internet and home entertainment devices.

Long gone are the nights that I’m half-asleep and fumbling with remote after remote.
We really need this, especially since we recently bought a Blu-ray player that added yet another remote to our stash.

That is cool that I could use it with my iPhone. It might cut down on all my autocorrects.

I was just looking at getting a new Roku and saw one that has an iPhone app. However, that would only work with the Roku. I would love to have this one that works with all of my devices. Plus, I would definitely prefer this keyboard to the online one that takes way too much time and patience to use.

Neat – we use the Bluetooth function on our Apple keyboard to manage the smart features on our TV, this looks a lot more comprehensive though. We are on our second Harmony all in one remote though, so I can imagine that this is a great product because we love our Harmony remotes.

We don’t have a logitech keyboard in our home, but we do have two logitech harmony remotes. My hubby loves them and I love how easy it makes it for me to be able to operate all his tech stuff.
