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.

    Great remote for the money. Had the older Xbox media remote but wanted a backup. This one does the trick. It does feel cheap but it is a durable remote in my experience

    I had to change from using my XBOX controller as the batteries were being drained so quickly. Having this remote is nice but it's not quite the perfect remote. It needs to have a clear signal range to the XBOX otherwise it won't work. That is my only gripe with this remote.

    So when my Xbox one replaced my fire stick we started using the Microsoft branded remote I bought when I first got the One (2013). It’s was a pain so I picked this one up to see if it’s any better. Definitely is. Button presses are more responsive and the IR direction feels a little more forgiving. Good product.

    Works very well with my Xbox One and my 17-year old plasma TV. Which, I wish, would finally pass on so I can get a bigger screen. Lol

    It's not back-lit and doesn't have controls for a TV/receiver. But it works for the Series X. I have an older Xbox One oval shaped remote I much prefer. It's back-lit, lights with motion, has a soft touch finish and looks more official.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
