Hello all!

I have HTPC setup with 3 devices as below:
  1. TV: LG
  2. AMP: Yamaha
  3. HTPC: with Windows Media Center


I control this setup with Microsoft Remote Control model 1039


It excellent at controlling my HTPC, very fast and perfect. It can also switch on/off my TV. But it cannot really control my AMP. I have to manually switch AMP on/off. So, it is time to upgrade the remote.

Minimum requirements I want:
 
  1. Backlit
  2. Long battery life
  3. Fast - no input lag like on Harmony remotes.
  4. Control 3 devices
  • TV: Switch on/off
  • AMP: Switch On/Off
  • AMP: Volume control
  • HTPC: Sleep/Wake Up
  • HTPC: Windows Media Center control

Optional but nice to have requirements:
1. AMP: to control some other functions like switching between Stereo and 5.1 sound stages.

I studied many options. Harmony looks interesting but it has input lag and it is not very cheap. then I saw OneForAll remote in the shop and the question is - can it fulfill my requirements above?
