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.

Needed something so i wouldnt have to keep turning on my controller while watching videos and this does the trick. Inexpensive to boot. I wish it was a little shorter but i didnt buy it for looks.

I purchased this remote control to use for navigating various streaming services. For that specific use case, it is excellent, and well worth the price.

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

Leagues better than the original xbox one media remote. Having the directional pad be a solid button rather than the old soft button is excellent

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.

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.

This Insignia remote control works great with both the Xbox One X and the TV. Navigation is a whole lot easier rather than using the Xbox controller!!
