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.

    It's a decent remote does what it's suppose to, it looks alright and feels good in the hand just really annoying infrared have you having to point directly at the box. Really annoying but I suppose I should have done my research.

    It’s a lot better than expected. Seems to be pretty good build quality. Feels like a “real” remote. But 1 thing I will add: I’ve had it for over a month and have not used it once... I just don’t find myself using it, so keep that in mind. This thing isn’t really needed.

    Absolutely what I was looking for! I skipped the media remote on the XBOX One because we didn't really use it in that fashion, but the Series X screams for media center attention and this remote does the trick. Easy integration and highly responsive controls make this a winner.

    It’s a good remote, however, you have to point it directly at the Xbox and be in close proximity for it to work.

    Works flawlessly! I have used for several months and only downside is that it has to be pointed directly at the system or it doesn’t work

    Does exactly what you expect when buying an xbox tv remote. The only real complaint i have with this is you have to point the remote right at the xbox for it to work properly.

    Good if you need a remote for your Xbox. But I couldn’t get it to connect to my tv too so unfortunately I returned it.

    Works great if looking to use your Xbox as and entertainment console and not just for games. Only downside it that you have to point it directly at the xbox for it to work and not just in the general direction like most remotes.

    Gotta aim it just right for the console to sense it. Probably more the placement on the sensor on the Xbox One rather than the remote, but I gotta ding it a star for functionality. Otherwise, it beats using a controller and wasting batteries.

    Easily connected to my Xbox series X. I also bought one for my Xbox one and it connected just as easily. So glad I don’t have to use my Xbox controller for watching streaming apps any more.

    I have to apologize to BB for the bad BB product review but the only reason this got two stars is because it connected to my xbox one x and xbox series x. The connection is not very strong with this one and you get a lot of misses. The remote does have a clicky sound to the button presses but that only confirms all the missed commands from your finger to your device. I know this works on IR tech but you have to have point this thing like a laser to the sweet spot or nothing. I would have returned this remote but it was only 15 bucks so not really worth the time.

    Simple remote. Does exactly what you need it to do for movie/video play. Home Screen navigation is easy but cannot use in game. 1 programmable button.
