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

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.

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

Not as full functioned as the Xbox official. Volume button is opposite to nearly all my other remotes.

This media control is good. It just doesn’t control volume at all through streaming apps or the tv.

I love BestBuy but their Insignia Brand needs work. I opted to go with this media remote for my xbox instead of the more expensive microsoft xbox remote and while it works occasionally I have to make sure its aiming at a particular angle to the xbox and the tv connection isnt always on point.
