Works perfectly with an Xbox one x. It does need to have a direct line of sight for it to work.

The remote is fine for the price, but I’ve noticed that it doesn’t have solid range even with good batteries. I’ve had some issues getting it to work without being within five feet of the sensor. I wish it had more range as even my awful tv remotes work from a further distance. It works fine enough, just not what I would hope for.

This is a nice remote but you do need direct line of sight of the Xbox for it to work, so just know that going in and you’ll be fine.

This pairs easily with the xbox but I haven't been able to get it to do all the functions of the controller like exiting out of certain apps and controlling TV volume. It handles the basics though and was cheap.

I'm very happy with this product. If you're tv is compatible with your Xbox, you can change channels and change the volume on the tv.
