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.

    Ordered online, the delivery was fast. This item makes streaming on the Xbox a lot easier to use. It is so easy any one can use. This one doesn’t have the buttons for numbers, or backlit buttons.

    Does what it’s supposed to do only negative you have to point directly at the console for it to work so have a clear line of sight between you and the console

    A solid accessory to go with the Series X. Didnt have to set it up, it jusy works out the box. Only downfall is jo backlighting on the keys and it has to be in direct line of sight w the xbox to work.

    Works wonderfully with my xbox one x. Makes watching bluray movies or steaming easier and more convenient. Navigating menus and controlling system is a breeze. No issues here with connectivity or range.
