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.

    The controller is okay. The issue I had with it was you had to point the controller directly at the system in order for it to catch do what you want it to.

    As long as the remote has a clear line of sight to the sensor on the Xbox it works perfectly.

    Does not work through even thin clean entertainment center glass. Needs to be directly in front of console to work. Last generation remote works just as well. Guess you get what you paid for, should be a featured licensed remote like the ps5

    Pretty good. You really have to target your Xbox when pressing a button, and the button do not behave the same depending on which streaming app you're using, but once you've learned that, it works.
