    This remote is a lot better than Insignia NS-XB14KRMT Media Remote. The responsiveness of 8bitdo remote seems quite a bit better and it has the capability to connect to more then just your Xbox. I've had it a bit longer than 1 month. So far I'd say pretty sold quality with no issues as of right now.

    Great replacement Xbox series X remote control. Love this controller so much that I purchased two of them. One for my wife for her coffee table. One for me on my book table. Fantastic controllers with plenty of functions. 10 out of 10

    Easy to set up. Purcahsed for the newest xbox series X. Works very well. We love it. So much easier to use this than the xbox controller. Had it a year now and still works just fine. Batteries last a long time in it.

    Seems to respond better than previous models. Still have to press more than once here and there for a response but not bad at all. Makes watching dvds much easier. Like the backlight. Worth the money.

    I only use a few of the buttons. Moving it kills the battery because of the backlights. You've got to aim it directly at the xbox... These are some of the drawbacks, but it's well built and does what it needs and is the best option in an Xbox remote from what I've seen.

    The controller buttons should light up and they did for about a week, you have to hit the buttons twice for them to work, and you have to be pointed directly at the Xbox. Also, it will not control the volume on my 2022 OLEDLG TV.

    Works good but backlight does not work after the first day. The batteries also lose contact sometimes and you have to hit the remote to get the contact back. There are extra buttons that are not used for anything.

    Works great! Didn’t require any set up, paired instantly with Xbox Seriex X right out of the box. Lights up only when you pick it up which is handy in the dark. Would recommend.

    Good size remote. I love the backlight. I have to be in line of sight of the XBox Series S like an old TV but that's fine. I am very happy with this thing. I stream and download with this. Definitely worth the money

    Folks I love the Remote and makes it easier to surf around while watching Hulu and such from my Xbox instead of using my game controller. But the one issue I have with it, is that unlike my controller it needs a clear line of sight to the Xbox to work. So it can sometimes be annoying to make a conscious effort to point it at the system when I want to use it. But other than that I can't complain.
