Which one? There seem to be lots of different ones with the same name -
and up to about 150 quid.


**The cheapest one, of course. I rather like the nice, colour screen
models, which are sometimes on special for less than 100 Bucks.
Nonetheless, I've used this one:

On special, I've seen them for around 30 Bucks. I no longer bother with
'no-name' remotes, as the Logitech stuff works so nicely.

The 350 appears to be about £50 here. Which is more than a good used Linn
remote goes for on Ebay. They tend to make about £30.

**Here's what I found after about 3 minutes of searching:

Personally, I'd buy one of these and control ALL your equipment, plus a
few of your neighbours' as well:

If I could be sure it would work properly, might be worth not having to
wait for a used Linn at the right price.

**Check out the Logitech site. They're quite helpful.


Not actually a lover of Logitech. Had one of their wireless keyboards and
mouse - both with a so called lifetime warranty. Both were looking very
scruffy after a short time - the letters on the keyboard keys worn off on
the most used keys. They said this just fair wear and tear.


**Fair enough. I'm typing on a Logitech keyboard now (and matching RF
mouse). Several letters have worn off, but the damned thing still works
fine (as does the mouse). Mind you, my old IBM PS/2 keyboard was
designed to survive a nuclear holocaust. I used to hammed the crap out
of it, back in the 1980s when I played a lot of games. Damned thing
still works flawlessly. But, realistically, no one can afford to build
keyboards like that anymore.
