I love the idea of a remote so that way I don't have to use my controller to watch anything. But this thing is garbage that hardly works.

Stick with the OG Xbox remote or the PDP remote. The new PDP remote was sold out when I took a gamble on this.

Hardly ever connects to the actual x box, you have to be pointing right at it.

Great remote, connects instantly, and because it works with both my Xbox One and Xbox Series X it is great. Also don’t have to do anything to switch and use on each console, just have to point at what console im using it on.

Still going after many years of abuse

I've been trying to figure out how long I've had this remote. It's August 2022 now and I know I bought it when the original Xbox One was released. I have an Xbox One X now and someday I'll upgrade to the X Series. Anyway, I've had this remote for a long time. I've dropped it a ridiculous amount of times and it even had juice get into the buttons. It still works fine. Best Buy stopped selling it for a while and I see that it's back now and felt the need to leave a review. I'm happy to see it back because I love it. I seriously don't know how mine is still working, but whenever the day comes that it dies, I'll definitely buy another.

This remote isn't that great. It feels lite and cheap. The round ring button on the remote is not responsive half the time. I got to press the button 2 or 3 times in order for it to respond and work. Granted the remote will work if you don't mind pressing the buttons a few times. Also, I'm about 8 feet away pointing the remote at the Xbox Series X just to let you know. I might look into buying a different brand remote if I can't take the non responsiveness buttons anymore. I do like the layout of the buttons and the look of remote though and for being around $15 dollars.

Very temperamental, barely works with Xbox X. You practically need a hammer to hit the buttons hard enough for them to work.
