Okay, so my OG Mitsubishi AC remote died mid-heatwave (typical timing, right?). Found this $20-ish replacement after panicking at the OEM price. First impression? Literally identical to my original - same buttons, same weight, even the tiny 'Fahrenheit only' disclaimer.

PSA: YOU GOTTA PROGRAM IT. Came with zero instructions, but the back label has cryptic steps. Took me 10 mins of button-mashing despair before it finally synced. Now works flawlessly - even the obscure 'eco mode' button!

Weird bonus? My 'dead' original remote magically revived after this arrived. Now I've got a backup for when either inevitably dies again. For the price, it's worth keeping one in the junk drawer.

Downside? Feels slightly cheaper than OEM - like the plastic might crack if I drop it. But hey, at 1/4 the price of Mitsubishi's replacement, I'll take three spares instead!
