Query: Good remote, but doesn't last

I really tried hard to make this remote work. WHEN it works, it's as advertised. But over two years, I went through several remotes, each of which had some sort of hardware malfunction. Finally, I gave up. I'm currently using the Monster equivalent (MONSTER MCC AVL300-S Home Theater & Lighting Controller 300 With Omnilink), which uses the familiar Harmony software--a huge plus. So far, no problems. I prefer the layout of its buttons; the display isn't nearly as nice as Harmony's. All in all, a push. But if it doesn't break every six months, it's a huge improvement over this model.
