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!

This remote fits nicely in the hand and works with One X and Series X. Great for times when not gaming and don't need to have a controller to turn on to control the system.

I bought this so the wife could use the XBox as Blu-Ray player. She is not a gamer and refused to use the controller. This remote is easy to use and allows you to fully navigate the XBox user interface easily.

I did not realize this is an IR remote and not bluetooth. But it's totally my mistake since the specifications clearly mention that. So a clear line of sight between Xbox and remote is required and the remote must be pointed right to the face of Xbox. It doesn't work if there is something like a blanket blocking it. Other than this slight annoyance the controls are working great for its price and I am keeping it.
