I bought both types. Genuine has keys much softer while cheaper one at half price has firmer keys. Both types do the job well. In the past 2 of the cheaper ones went faulty quickly. The led instead of blinking once in response to a button being pressed would keep on oscillating. This is when it has gone faulty. Never had this problem with the genuine one. So in short, it a matter of choice of one cheap one with shorter life span or genuine one with possible longer life. In one incident the volume buttons of the genuine one became such that the unit had to be opened for a pcb clean up to restore it.

Pros - cheap and fully functionable. Cons - cheaply made. Kept dropping it as slippery to hold due to no grip on back of unit like the original. Not really suitable therefore for people with arthritis in hands. Photo would not upload so - where the original has a soft grip cover on the removable battery cover this does not and is simply the same shiny plastic as the rest of the unit.

This product genuinely surpassed all of my expectations. That's not to say that I expected it to be inferior - the seller made it very clear that it was a quality item, but when paying considerably less than the usual price, it's easy to assume that you aren't going to get the quality you would get by paying top price. Not so - the handset is new condition. All buttons are very responsive - the slightest touch and they are active. The range is excellent (I've bought other handsets where I quite literally have to stand next to the Sky box or TV to get them to work.) and it was supplied with batteries. Comprehensive information and instructions were included. Would I buy this item again? .. Most definitely, and I would recommend it to others!

Remote was an exact replacement for my Sky HD ver9f and worked immediately. Would have given 5 stars but the batteries weren’t Duracell but cheap alternatives, though at least batteries were included.

Feels lighter than original 7 year old remote it replaced, but I guess that's just a change in construction materials. Rattles as something is loose inside but it works so not a problem. I get the impression it's a copy.
