Fewer people need a universal remote control these days, which explains why the category is dying and great options are hard to find. But if your home-entertainment system is more complex than the basic media player–TV–soundbar combo, and you’re looking for one remote to control all your gear, the SofaBaton U1 Universal Remote Control is the best option we’ve found. It has some notable flaws, but this model can control a wider variety of home-entertainment devices, and it has a better physical design than its competitors.

Good features and performance for the price

The U1 can control up to 15 AV devices and supports Bluetooth control. And it relies on a mobile app for setup. But it lacks backlighting and activity buttons, and programming advanced tasks can be challenging.

One For All URC7880 Smart Control 8

If you need to control only infrared devices

The URC7880 includes all the important buttons and can control eight AV components, and you can group devices together into activities. But you can’t control Bluetooth devices, and the setup process is archaic.
