It got the job done for te most part. I just wish it was more user friendly for peiple like my mother.

Made my tv faster as this remote doesn't have a mic built in. No mic means less things for the tv to have to load on startup. Also, less surveillance of my home ha ha. Rechargeable instead of dealing with batteries. Any one of the things I listed is worth the price of this. All three? No brainer

Was exactly what we needed. The Samsung remote was no longer operating and this remote did exactly what we asked the Best Buy team that it would do. Great job to the team for pointing us to the right product.

This is a reliable option for a remote. I purchased this after the batteries exploded in my OEM remote. I did not realize when I purchased but the rechargeable option is great! No more batteries!

Was able to turn tv on and off and access only some functions of my TCL tv. It lost connection after a couple of weeks. Better to get actual replacement off eBay.
Thank you for your feedback KevG. Universal remotes are designed to work with most major TV brands including your TCL, but not every function can be guaranteed for every TV model. Some advanced or brand-specific features may not be accessible due to manufacturer differences.

Pros:
1. Support for upto 3 devices is really helpful. One can easily control their TV, Streaming player and Soundbar/Audio using this remote.
2. Compatibility with multiple brands of TVs, Streaming Devices and Soundbars. We can either auto configure or manually configure using the pre-programmed codes.
3. USB C charging - I wish all the remotes have charging option available instead of removable battery. RCA has nailed it by choosing the charging option and that too USB-C. This is the future.
4. Quick access keys - These are extremely helpful. Especially the button for Youtube is not present in Roku. Apart from Youtube there are also buttons for Netflix(N), Disney (D) and Hulu.
5. Ultra thin - This remote is just ½ inches thin and weighs only 1.6 ounces (45 gms)
6. 40 ft coverage - This remote covers upto 40 ft distance. I have tested around 20 feet and it was working fine without any issues. So i believe it should work upto 40 feet far without any issues.
7. Battery life - Battery life as per the specification will last for upto 6 months which is exceptional.
8. Auto power off - RCA has really applied their thought in providing the auto-power off when any of the remote button is pressed for more than 15 seconds. Especially this will be helpful when the remote gets stuck in the couch. This will greatly increase the battery life.
9. Setup - Setup was overall easy. Especially the Roku was preconfigured. I had to just configure my LG TV using the Auto code search which took about a minute. For my Bose Soundbar it took a little over 2 min as i had to key in couple of different codes using manual setup.
Note - It is better to charge the battery fully before using it. I charged it for about few hours before the charging indicator turned from red to green. Also we can reset the remote anytime by using a paper clip in the Reset hole present in the back of the remote.
Cons:
1. Buttons - Buttons are a bit hard especially the Up, Down, Left and Right directional buttons. RCA should consider changing the design of these buttons as it is sometimes required to press the button couple of more times in order to operate it.
2. Sensitivity - Sensor sensitivity is just average. We have to point it straight to the device or 10 to 20 degrees away in order to operate it. If it is bit more than that the Remote doesn't work. I wish the remote sensitivity was as good as Roku remote or atleast half of it.
3. Manual setup - Manual setup using the pre-programmed codes is a little tough as it requires us to have the instruction manual to know which button is for which number. It would have been nice if the numbers were mentioned in the keys in a smaller font to make it easier.
4. Not Backlit - It would have been nice if the remote had the Backlit feature which will be helpful especially in the night. But at this price point we cannot ask for more.

I should’ve purchased the oem remote for firestick. This one can not be controlled by voice and has to be aimed directly at the tv to work. None of this is bestbuys fault, it’s on me for not doing my research.
