Im not saying the 710 was a pefect device by any means but considering the opposition at the time and even whats available now it was for me a decent purchase.
I'm OK with the 710 remote's layout. What I don't like is the fact that you can press a button and nothing happens. I often have to really press hard on a button to make it work. As I said 'spongy' The 860 remote has the same 'feel' and occasional lack of responsiveness. The 870 remote never gave me any problem in that regard.
