Good thing is its inexpensive and functions the way it should, after that it feels cheap and there is close to a 1 second response lag, so all in all meh.

I talked my mom in to getting herself and XBox One S on Black Friday. It cost just as much as the Blu-ray players she wanted but had more features. She does like playing Forza on it but using the controller for watching movies was unintuitive and just not great. Turns out this thing exists and it works great. The quality feels sturdy and pleasant. I'm quite satisfied.

It’s very easy to set up and performs exactly as needed.
The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because the home button and most of the others are small and labeled only with symbols, occasionally making the learning curve with the remote steeper than it needed to be.

Love this remote! So, My TV has all of the apps but it looses connection constantly. My Xbox one works perfectly but non gamers had no idea how to turn my tv on. This was inexpensive and solved all my problems!

Does exactly what I want it to do for a great price, and I now don't have to turn on my controller when I want to use media apps on my Xbox. I do wish they carried more of these in-store though!

It works well when it hits. Maybe it is the position of the Xbox Series X, but it is placed exactly where my previous Xbox was that I used the PDP remote without issue.
I do appreciate the convenience of this remote as I use Xbox for a fair amount of streaming these days. It definitely saves on the batteries for the controller.

Boring but does its job. Unfortunately you have to point the remote directly at the Xbox or it wont work properly. It works a little bit better than a controller does. It's not expensive and non gamers will probably have an easier time navigating streaming apps with it.

I watch a lot of movies and shows on my Xbox, and using the controller as a remote was always frustrating as it had to be turned on and off. This makes it a much smoother experience. The only issue I have is that you have to point the remote at the Xbox, and it doesn’t always register the click if it’s a little off.

Bought a new tv and wanted to watch 4K movies on my xbox one x. I have a small outdated controller for it, this was a big improvement. I don't like that it doesn't have a power on/off for the xbox or a disc eject button like my last remote but overall it's very nice and was easy to sync with my television

It works good as a remote. Size of remote is great for any size of hands. However my only gripe is it feels cheap. I have the original xbox media remote that lights up when you move it, and as old as that one is, you can tell the quality of materials.
