    I like this remote but we bought it to replace the Microsoft brand remote after my dog ate it. It works but it's not near as good as the Microsoft remote.

    I really like this product for being able to just turn on my Xbox One and jump right into Netflix Watching. It doesn't require syncing since it runs off of RF and not the wireless connection. This also means that if must be facing the front of your Xbox when using it and can't be hidden behind a wooden type of cabinet or closet.

    Works good but you do have to make sure it's always pointed directly at the console and not the tv.

    A remote control for the Xbox One is a must, especially for streaming videos and watching movies on disc, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. This Insignia remote works just the same as the brand name Xbox remote, just costs way less. The only slight weakness is you need to point the remote properly to get to work as it depends on infrared.

    Remote works but is not very good unless directly pointed at xbox. Would recommend as it saves on controller batteries and is inexpensive.

    It does everything I need it to. Controls the Xbox and makes it so my controllers batteries are used for gaming instead of watching shows

    I wanted a media remote for my new Xbox one s and Best Buy insignia controller was at $4.99. I decided to give it a shot. It works and easy to use. the problem is that it doesn't have great range and you need to pointed directly to the Xbox but is a great buy for 4.99 to 9.99.

    I thought this would connect like the controllers do. It uses ir instead so make sure your console is in sight to use it.

    The remote works great and does the job. Not much more to say that it does the job for less than the official XB1 remote.
