I have elderly parents struggling with remotes. All I want is a remote that with one button press will switch the TV inputs from Cable to Roku, and change the mode of the remote so the buttons are properly remapped for those receivers.

Sounds simple, but Logitech remotes like the harmony 650 have been frustrating. The "Smart" features inevitably get out of sync, and getting them back in sync is beyond my parents' abilities.

I've looked at other brands, but either their mode change keys cannot be programmed with macros, or their macro keys cannot change the mode of the remote! So I'm stuck with either multiple key presses, or senior-unfriendly "smart" features I'm constantly fighting.

So basically a "dumb" Harmony 300, but with macro abilities on the mode changing keys is all I'm looking for. Can anyone recommend one?
