Universal Remotes - do you use one?

The other day I spilt coffee on my LG Magic Remote. It mostly works, but buttons aren't quite the same and sometimes take a few presses. I had a look at a replacement on Amazon and they are £26. I used to have a Harmony Universal remote when I had a separate amp for sound. I now have a soundbar into my eARC, so no extra remote needed for this. The LG remote also controls my Formuler box without any issues.

If I'm going to buy a remote anyways I thought I'd ask if others have recommendation for a Universal remote and what advantage it provides them 📺

That's a pretty old remote. While googling for the one I have (link) I found there is a newer model, which looks better. It's not officially supported for my model, but apparently the only thing that doesn't work is the dedicated "Disney" button. Think I'll give it a whirl. Amazon refund if it doesn't do the job = LG MR22GN Remote Control
