Great remote for use with the series x. Responsive with direct line of sight. Good to use for watching dvd's and blue ray discs or even just browsing the dashboard of the xbox. Good quality, very durable. It doesn't feel cheap. Would recommend this remote if for easier play back when watching movies rather than using a xbox controller. Definitely worth the $15?

I adore this remote when streaming Netflix or Hulu. It saves me having to turn on and off the Xbox remote just to pause during the movie and it's a quick way to turn off the Xbox without using the Xbox remote. By using this media remote I'm not having to charge my Xbox remote as often.

I had the PDP remote which I never really enjoyed because I felt like the buttons weren't very responsive and the remote just didn't feel right in my hand.
Now this remote is awesome! The buttons work great, it feels good, love it. As soon as you put the batteries in you're ready to go.

Does help me when im flipping through movie apps and what not. Its inexpensive so thats a plus. There is one downside to this remote and it does prevent me from using it at time, you have to point it directly at the Xbox. I mean it, not even at an angle, directly at Xbox. gets annoying

Works great. I know some people think these media remotes for consoles are a bit pointless, but if I’m watching something, I’d rather not have my controller on using battery and accidentally pressing buttons. This is great for that. Just know you need have a line of sight to the IR reader, which is on the front of the Xbox.

I bought the controller because we only have an Xbox to watch DVD/Blu-ray’s on and the wife will not use the controller to operate the system. This basic controller does everything that we need without the fumbling around to figure out which buttons stop and start the movie...
