I'm looking to possibly replace my old MCE remote and I've thought about getting a Logitech again. I had one in the past, and it was very sluggish with XBMC. I did change the key delays and all of the other tweaks I could find, but we were never very happy with it.
Have they changed much? Better alternatives out there? Anyone else's experience?

I'm assuming this is for the Linux platform (based on the XBMCbuntu reference in your sig line)?

Dont think I had any problems with my Harmony on either Windows, Live, xbmcbuntu or openelec.
So yes you can get one but I would at least go for the 600/650, my favorite is the 700 because I am not a fan of the touchscreens of the "top" models.

They are still slow. I've read that with the new Harmony Touch you cannot even adjust repeats, only interkey delay.

I use a diNovo Mini and its quite responsive. Theres an odd delay but im not quite sure if its the remote itself as I bought a second hand.

My old Harmony 520 (still my favorite Harmony) still works fabulously on my Windows clients. All of my non-windows clients are controlled with apps, so no clue about performance on those with a Harmony.

Are you using a Logitech now? I'm just looking for a good universal remote. Doesn't have to be able to do 30 macros at the touch of a button, just be able to control Uverse and XBMC.
I have a Harmony One. After tweaking the settings you can get the delay to a tolerable level, but it's not as fast as a MCE or Apple Remote.
