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 media remote works perfectly on my Xbox Series X. It’s a lot easier than using a regular Xbox controller and it’s always on so you don’t have to wait. I’ve had it about a month and use it every day.

Quality feels a little cheap but works the way I'd want it to. Definitely a good option if you use your xbox a lot to stream movies and shows.

Awesome remote, I had an old remote (the Talon one) they used to sell for the original xbox one that used up batteries way too quick. This remote barely uses battery, I've had it for months & haven't replaced original batteries.

This device makes my wife like the Xbox. She would get aggravated with the controller to watch Netflix. This remote doesn't run out of battery constantly like the controllers, either. Nice to have FF and Rewind buttons as well.

Works as advertised and just what I wanted so as to not have to use my controller all the time. Is a little sensitive to the direction you are pointing it, but when pointed at my Xbox One X it works just fine.

This remote is great. Very responsive. Works right of the box, no setup required. The remote needs to be pointed at the console via IR sensor but its not finicky at all. Totally love it!

Perfect addition to the Xbox as a media streaming device. Batteries last long (unlike the Xbox controller), and the controller is always on. No need to wait for it to connect to the Xbox - it’s always connected.

I like this remote. The fact that my kiddo can use it on his Xbox to watch the apps on there with out the hassle of having to use his controller all the time is great. He likes this controller as well.

I bought this for my Xbox One S because I use it as my main Blu ray player. This remote has decent buttons, although they are a little more squishy for my liking. All of them work though, and it's easy to use.

I have purchased three of these remotes now, one for each Xbox and one for my parents' Xbox. These remotes work simply and are excellent at saving your controller's batteries if you're just watching media.

This remote is great for both operating your Xbox One and controlling the television! I can conveniently adjust the volume while streaming shows, all with one remote. I recommend buying!

I got this for the Xbox Series X. Setup includes insert batteries and you are good to work. It works as expected. If you want a remote to use instead of the controller, this is for you.

Overall it’s a good alternative remote for xbox series X. With this, its very to use to control and stream movie. But you have to point the remote directly to the console otherwise it won’t work.

This remote is a life saver. I hated having to turn on my controller just to watch something via streaming. This has all of the same function and more!
