Microsoft - Xbox One Media Remote - Black

I think this is the best Xbox one controller I was able to purchase because of your reviews on Best Buy. The best thing I can say is it just about controls all of your media and Blu-ray and CDs that we love to watch. And I love when you go to pick it up it lights up right away in the dark making it very easy to use. Wish I would've thought of it. LOL

If you don't want to use a controller to navigate through the Xbox menus or while watching movies and playing streaming apps than this remote has you covered. It has a backlight that lights all the keys up anytime that the remote is touched. It's very comfortable in the hand and most of the bottons can be reached with the thumb. It's made of a black matte rubbery type of plastic. I would give it 5 stars but you have to actually point the remote at the Xbox for it to work. If it worked via Bluetooth or over wifi like the controllers do, than this would be a perfect remote.

Easy to use. Great product. I would recommend this remote if you use your x-box a lot

If you have an Xbox and use it for anything else other than just playing games, you definitely need one of these remotes.

If you don't happen to have the Kinect, then I would suggest investing in this remote. I use it so I don't drain the batteries from my controller and since I don't own the Kinect. Its small enough to fit in your hand and the buttons won't come loose either. Price isn't too bad either.

After using this for a few weeks, I'm glad we decided to purchase it. I read some complaints about how annoying it was that you had to point it directly at the console to get it to work. Really? It's a remote. That's how they generally work. I like not having to worry about turning the controller back on again while watching Netflix. That's pretty much what we use it for. It does the job.

Easy to use remote that is great for netflix or other streaming apps. It lights up when you move it for ease of use in a dim room. It's very responsive and gets the job done. It works with my sound bar for volume control too. It can turn on and off your console. No need for a gamepad when you are simply using the xbox for viewing purposes.

The remote is small and has great utility. The remote buttons light up when ever you pick up or handle the remote making it user friendly while operating the remote in low light. There was no need to "program" the remote to operate the cable box or A/V. I imagine this is so as my Xbox One is setup through my cable box and interconnected with the A/V.
