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.

    As other reviewers have mentioned, unless you are in eyes view of the console and can point the remote directly at it, it works! But other than that, it’s a paper weight.

    I like this remote but I bought this one with open box item so the packaging of this remote is so bad looks like from trash can. The built quality is satisfied.

    You have to point it at the Xbox to get it to work, kind of defeats the purpose of having a remote if it is less convenient than just using the controller

    Thing is junk. I am a fan of most all Insignia products, but this one is a dud. Could not get it to configure right on the Series X for the life of me. Finally said it wasn't worth it, but unfortunately I am out of the return policy so can't return it. Went right in the garbage.

    The remote is made out of very cheap plastic. The battery door is loose. The IR blaster is not very strong. Need to point directly to the Xbox to register any button press. Just get something else.

    The response time was very slow. The connection was IR and you have to be directly in from of the XBOX. I wish Bluetooth was an option.
