Pros

Attractive IR transmitter fits anywhere without needing a wall outlet.
Works well, once you've invested a lot of work into setting it up.
Can define your own remotes if you can't find any that work for you.

Cons

Pre-defined remotes have minimal buttons, and none of them worked for any of my equipment.
