Overall good remote with decent connectivity especially if Xbox is open and in front of the tv. I have mine behind the tv and still works properly. Build quality is solid, even after a good amount of drops the remote functions as new. I will say that its inability to function directly with spectrum tv is a big big let down.

Have been using for a couple of months and happy with product. As others pointed out, the remote does need to be pointed directly at Xbox.

This is an excellent remote for the xbox. It has backlit buttons which is a really nice plus. The build quality is also very good. The one downside is that is that uses infrared instead of RF to communicate with the xbox, so the remote does have to be pointed at it. This does help for longer battery life, but also annoying bc it physically has to be pointed at the xbox. Also, because it is infrared, there is no pairing. Just put in batteries and you are good to go.

This remote is great to ise if you regularly use your Xbox for media playback. It works great both for Plex and for Blu rays, much better than your regular Xbox controller.

It works well with my Xbox, the only thing I don’t like is that it lights up too easily and wastes the batteries.

This is a great media remote for xbox. It is so much better than the PDP remotes! The remote feels solid, the button layout is perfect and the buttons feel great and responsive (not mushy like PDP). The weight is on the hefty side but it's nice and the texture of the remote is pleasant in the hand. Love it so much I bought a second while it's still on sale.

I love this little guy. I had forgotten the Series X was a DVD/ Blue Ray player. And using the controller to navigate was just clunky to me.

I bought this because I wanted a remote for the XBOX. Don't expect to figure out how all the buttons work although. Sale price was a good deal.

This remote is much better than the PDP remote. If you're like me and have a pin number to unlock your profile(so kids don't purchase things without consent), this remote will allow you to enter the 6 digit pin.
Also, the remote doesn't have to be pointed directly at the console in order for it to read inputs. Can't ask for much more than these two things.
