Hi Paul, sorry for the delayed response. The Harmony remote I have is the model 659. I actually have 2 of them and once set up, it is very accessible. You just have to make sure not to not get one of their touch screen models but I believe they have several models that are all button based. I know the 6xx and 7xx and I think the 5xx series are all button based. They do have a display however but that hasn't been a real problem for me so far since I mainly use the activity buttons and they each perform a specific task like watching tv, watch dvd, etc.
I'm not familiar with all of their latest models, but I have found Harmony tech support to be extremely friendly and helpful. If you give them a call, I'm sure they can tell you which models are button based. Regarding the price, I got mine as refurbs and have never had any issues. My particular model the 659 was $60. A Google search will turn up refurbished models for sure.

How much did that Harmony remote cost? Is there a particular model number which is accessible for blind users once you get it set up? I have been thinking of getting a universal remote for a few years, but didn't know if there was one I could use once set up. Thanks.
