Small enough to fit onto a keychain/key fob - helps to prevent unit from being misplaced or stuck in small spaces.

The Cons:Programming can be tedious and frustrating - lack of a display/visual reference makes it tough to confirm prompts while editing. Small footprint is not ideal for all users - unit is very easy to misplace and can quickly become lost within a couch or chair.
