I like the way this remote you suggested is so good for the elderly with physical and/or mental limitations. I would buy it for my mother if I hadn't gave her this one below last week before I knew of this super large button Universal Remote you spotted online:
I have been telling my own mother to ignore the buttons on the upper portion of the remote to avoid confusion. She really does like the large back lighted buttons on this remote. Your remote is far more simple to use, yet still even more very limited in one important way, it doesn't appear to be Roku friendly even as limited as the Philips is:
".......Will it work with a Toshiba or Roku tv?
It is not really suitable for a Roku TV; the Roku interfaces needs more buttons (up, down, left, right, select, volume up, volume down).
I programmed the DT-R08C to change channels (up or down) on my Spectrum cable box; but I still need the TCL/Roku TV controller to select the Cable TV . But a replacement remote for the TCL/Roku is only $10, and is almost as simple....." -(From Amazon's own Website Question/Answer section of this particular remote in question).
That does not takeaway the basic design of this simple huge buttons remote. It has a physical wrist strap (very important), it seems to control most televisions' basic functions, easy to use and see for the most disabled people to use. Just for television use it seem to not be beat. I still can and will use my Roku remote by feel in low light times of the night for now. I do hope corporations like Roku will remember to design their products with the more disabled/elderly population in mind. That's were their largest populations and biggest users are located.
Thank you for posting the huge button EasyMote Universal remote and bringing it to the forum's attention.
