easy to use right out of the box.
controls most general functions and media controls of our Xbox series S, as well as Xbox one X (prior gen).
no crazy pairing operation to link it, uses IR basting.

Love this remote. Using with Xbox one S. Popped battery in and no set up was required. Much faster and easier than using a controller! Worth every penny!

This remote works great for streaming videos on the xbox it is very easy to use and doesnt need to be linked up its ready to go right out of the box the only draw back in my case is the infrared has to be pointed and the receiver on the xbox so the console cant be turned sideways like mine has to be due to limited space other then that this works very well

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.

A lot of complaints about it not being RF. The product description says plain as day that the remote is IR. Works amazingly.
