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.

Works great. Does what it's supposed to do. Way better than using the Xbox controller. Better quality than the rubber feeling remote for the Xbox One. You do not have to push the buttons as hard with this remote.

Works great, now we don’t need to turn on a controller to do simple things like scrolling through the home screen.

If you use your XBox more so for streaming, then this works really well! My gf loves this remote since it is more easy to use than the console controller. The only downside is interference.

Does the job. Wanted a more standard remote to control the media aspects of my Xbox and it does what it’s supposed to do. I like it better than the remote that came with the tv

Repurposed a slightly broken Xbox One X as a simple Blu-Ray player. This remote does everything I’d need it to. Great price point.

I have three of these remotes for 3/4 of my Xbox Systems. They work better than the original MS Xbox remote. A must have so that you don't have to use the controller every time.

It is very simple to pair the remote to either Series X or S and work as well as the Sony Media Remote does for the Playstation 5. Only downside, Triple A batteries.
