Update (October 2026): The U2 Backlit has been discontinued. Its successor is SofaBaton U3, which adds RF learning, three simultaneous Bluetooth connections and a rechargeable battery. To compare the current lineup, see U3 vs X1S vs X2.
Struggling to find the right buttons on your remote when the lights are dim? Meet the Sofabaton U2 Backlit — the upgraded version of our best-selling universal remote, now with glow-in-the-dark buttons for just $69.99. Perfect for late-night movie marathons, this IR/Bluetooth remote keeps simplicity at its core while solving a universal frustration: fumbling in the dark.
Why the U2 Backlit Beats the Competition
- Backlight Done Right:
- Soft blue LED backlight activates with a single shake (no annoying always-on glow).
- Labels stay clearly visible even in pitch-black rooms — a feature missing in pricier remotes like the Logitech Harmony 665 ($129).
- Budget-Friendly, No Compromises:
- Controls 15 devices via IR and Bluetooth (compatible with Apple TV, Fire TV, and EU devices like Philips TVs).
- No Wi-Fi? No problem! The U2 Backlit focuses on reliability without overcomplicating your setup.
EU User Bonus:
- Pre-loaded with 300,000+ EU device codes (tested on Grundig, Loewe, and TechniSat).
- App available in German, French — no more Google Translating manuals!
