Customers are saying

Customers value the Media Remote for its ease of use, affordability, and functionality. They appreciate the convenience of controlling their Xbox without the need for a controller, especially for streaming shows. However, some users have expressed concerns about the remote's line-of-sight requirement and the need for direct pointing, as well as its build quality and use of infrared technology.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Works well controlling Xbox. Xbox doesn't always since the remote if something is blocking the line of site. The volume doesn't work on this remote to control the Xbox series x. The volume does work on my Xbox one tho.

    It's a decent little remote for the price. It doest pair with your console though so you have to point it at the rf sensor which can be a pain sometimes. It's still very responsive though. Very easy to lose in couch cushions.

    Works great, really a huge step up from using the controller. Don't love that it's IR instead of Bluetooth, since i have to be more thoughtful about aiming than i do with a controller, but otherwise it has been great for my Series X.
