This is great if you have someone who does not want to use the actual controller as a remote.
It works flawlessly with blu-rays and netflix.
It does not work well with the youtube app. for some reason you cant use it to navigate left or right.
still, it is nice to have a remote for blu rays and netflix that is easy to understand.
one feature that is really nice is that it must have a sensor that whenever it is touched, the buttons light up immediately, which helps when it is dark.
A must buy in my opinion.

This is a great little remote that eliminates the need to use a controller to watch bluray. I like the fact the backlight activates as soon as the remote is moved. A great little touch. I like the overall feel of the remote. It has a slight rubber feel to it. The size is perfect.

Works great for when you’re watching Netflix, a movie on the blue ray player or using any other feature that doesn’t require the Xbox controller. This remote does not turn off while you’re using the Xbox like the regular controller does it “sleeps” and illuminates when you pick it up it’s always ready to go. You can use it to turn on your Xbox as well, cool little remote to have definitely worth it.

When using the Xbox One for simple tasks (Netflix, Amazon, Youtube, etc.) it is easier to use this than the controller. The advantage of the controller is more precise mouse control for the Microsoft internet browser and typing. The advantage of the remote is it's compact size, always on (controller shuts off) and it lights up to see the keys with any movement. The batteries are lasting me about 6 months so far.

I bought XBOX One S as a 4K BD player, so I needed to have a controller with this style. It is very easy to use. I did not even need to pair with the XBOX. Nice design and simple operation. It works with BD player, Netfrix and other video application.

The remote makes navigating the menus very easy.it works well with just about every application on the Xbox that I've tried so far.The only application that has any issues with this is Amazon prime. None of the buttons on the remote that I have tried give you the ability to search you still have to break out the old controller. Other than that I have no complaints. And since I'm running my cable box through my Xbox this makes a good replacement for my main remote.

Just got tired using the controller as a remote, so went out to purchase this fine remote for the remote. My initial thought that this little remote only worked for the Xbox 1, but happened to find out it can control my television as well. Maybe now powering off my tv but volume control is nice. The light sensitivity on the remote can be a bit annoying but nothing to bark at. Simply a great product.

I got tired of my Xbox One controllers turning off after so many minutes, so I bought this remote to control Hulu and Netflix. Built very well, and whenever I pick it up of move it all the buttons light up to make it very easy to see. If your like me and like to use the Xbox One as a media center along with gaming this remote is worth the price. FYI I do not have a Kinect sensor with my Xbox One.

Cool accessory! A lot of times when watching a show or movie the controller will turn off because it hasn't been used and you have to press the power button to turn it back on before you can pause or rewind the program. With the remote, it is always ready to control a program quickly and is easier to handle than the remote. Good for anyone who watches Xbox Video or any streaming service on their Xbox.

Pefect for Using Media Through XBox

If you're someone who watches Netflix, Amazon Video, blu-ray or other media through the XBox One, this is a nice addition. You no longer need to use the controller or rely on voice commands to play, pause, select videos, etc. When you pick it up, the buttons light up so it is easy to see if you have the light down while watching a movie. For the cost , it's a pretty good add to your XBox ecosystem.
