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.

    I paid $10 for this product and i think for that price it's an excellent value. I have not had a chance to test out it's functionality/features 100% but for simply turning the xbox(one in my case; can't comment on series x|s) and controlling media it works fine. I did not need to pair the remote it just worked out of the box which is fantastic.

    Good for the price, wish the xbox buttons were on it to make it easier to navigate some menus, but for the most part works fine. I use this on my Series S and Xbox One

    This remote gets the job done. Gives me full control of my Xbox. At first I was a bit bummed about the use of IR, but that’s more on the Xbox itself. Buttons have a good feel to them. The remote has good size without being too big. Since it’s IR I can use it upstairs or downstairs without having to pair up to either Xbox, so that’s pretty convenient.

    Worth adding the remote to your xBox.

    Use the remote with an xBox series X. When the grandchildren are not playing games my wife and I use the xBox to watch 4K movies on the 75" TV in the media room. The remote is a nice addition to operate the unit rather than using controllers or the keyboard and mouse.

    Great media remote for Series X if you prefer not to use your controllers for Blue Ray and media playback. Only downside is that it’s an IR remote and not a standard wireless, so you need a clear line of sight to your console, but that’s normal for this type of accessory.

    I bought this for my mother who isn't use to using a xbox controller. I was a little worried it would need to be paired with your xbox but it works straight out of the box! Just point n go! Only downside is she now has a fourth remote to deal with Haha

    Its works well if you are using your xbox at that moment for watching tv and is much easier than using the controller for things like netflix and youtube for example. Also the price is oretty reasonable.

    Bought this to use with streaming services and it's a life changed. I no longer have to deal with the controller to watch movies the volume button does not suit my needs since I use a surround system but everything else is just what I need for streaming. I only wish the buttons were back-lit to make it easier to see in the dark.

    We use the Xbox for everything so this remote is really nice. We can leave the controllers off and save their batteries. The only thing about it is make sure if you have more than one Xbox you keep them apart or the remote can turn them both on

    Like the controller...even though can't find it at the moment. Using it with my Series X and buttons are super responsive. It does have to have a clear patch to the Xbox, so know that in advance in case the console is in a cabinet.

    Very convenient! Works right out of the box. I prefer to use this when trying to watch videos than navigating with an xbox controller. The controller turns off after a few minutes of inactivity but this remote just responds.

    Works perfect, connects right away. Doesn’t turn off after not being used for a little while like the controller does. Perfect for watching movies or something. Pause, play, skip forward, volume, and complete Xbox navigation all on one remote.

    Great remote! You don’t even have to pair it to the Xbox because it uses the IR blaster. You can use with multiple X boxes without having to pair. You do have to point the remote directly at the consul though. Batteries last a very long time.

    I use this remote all the time. I like to charge my controller at night, so I needed something to use while I'm laying in bed at night watching stuff via my xbox. It works perfectly with all the streaming apps I have.

    These work great for both my Xbox One and my Series X. Takes some getting used to since they need to be aimed at the console, so if you have the console behind your TV… it will not work.

    This controller is great! I was waiting for the new PDP remote to be available and decided to get this for now. I’m pretty sold on this one. Works great with the Xbox to turn down my sound bar! Recommend to all!!!
