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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    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.

    works really well, and the quality is great. be warned that you have to connect something similar to a cable box or a Roku etc in order to control the volume. it won't work on the media apps like Netflix, Hulu, etc. other than that the remote works great you can use it to navigate menus( in Netflix, Hulu, etc.) just not change the actual volume.

    Let's be honest this is a horrible remote. From its size to its button feel and lack of range. I've gone back to using my phone and the Xbox app as a remote for my series x

    Remote works great to replace having to turn the controller on after it times out while streaming. Its not a radio frequency though this uses infared which needs direct line of sight.
