Best Roku remote so far, no batteries needed, charge last long

I love that it lights up and still has the voice option. I just wish it had the option for headphones.

First, in general, I love Roku as a platform providing access to virtually every media streaming platform. I love the remote control, which connects wirelessly and does not rely on line-of-sight infra-red (although it also supports this to help control the volume and power to your TV). Specific to this remote; I love the backlight; it makes it much easier to see in low light. I love that it is rechargeable and uses the industry-standard USB-C connector. It saves on so many batteries. However, one of the main reasons the prior versions of the Roku remote would need lots of batteries was the really great feature of personal listening. This provided a headphone jack in the remote, allowing you to listen to your TV through headphones without disturbing everyone else. Powering the headphones and wireless audio transmission used the battery a lot more than just as a plain remote control. Initially, I did not see the need for personal listening, but after having it, I use it all the time now; unfortunately, this remote removed that feature, and hence, THE main reason for batteries running out quickly and the need for a recharge option. This remote offers a programable button to allow you to immediately select your favorite app or function. However... All Roku remotes come with four pre-configured buttons to launch Netflix and three random other apps that Roku gets paid to put on your remote. They are not reprogrammable, and as such, if you do not use those apps, the buttons are not just useless but annoying when you accidentally hit one, and it tries to launch the app you don't have installed. The version 1 of this remote had two programmable buttons that would immediately launch your selected app once programmed. This remote removes one of the programmable buttons from the previous version and replaces it with a "Guide" button, which encourages you to use the Roku TV guide and watch channels that Roku gets paid to advertise. The remaining "programmable" button that, previously, would immediately launch your preferred app now takes you to a second screen that again includes Roku options and one other option you might like, now making the button at least two or more presses to select the app, that you could probably do from the main menu as fast. The remote also includes the "remote finder" and "Voice search" that most previous remotes provided. So, the main benefit of this particular remote over other prior Roku remotes is the USB C charging, which is no longer essential as it removes the personal listening feature. I would not recommend this remote, but I would recommend prior versions of the remote, not this model. I still prefer Roku over other brands. I returned this remote. Thanks to Best Buy for the excellent customer service and return policy.

This remote was very easy to set up and it glows in the dark when you move it which makes it easy to find at night.

Got the rmote synch with my tv and surround sound without any hitch. Ended up getting a second one for my other setup.

works as designed and although it is chargeable via USB connection, the user prefers to have one with batteries instead. She is a non-computer user

[Employee of bestbuy] Lost my remote and picked this up as a replacement . Works great

The remote is a God send. Easy to sync and use don’t have to use two separate remotes. Both volume and selection made with this one remote

I speaky and it doey. Remote is better than fingers on.

A great remote for Roku streamer device owners. Good replacement.

works really well glad I bought it. nice that you can charge it and not batteries

Roku remote is well-designed, I Appreciate the backlit panel, a good replacement for a broken controller, or just replacing just for the aesthetics

The back-light feature is the best. I would buy Again.

Great replacement, I was going to start looking into the guide to program it to my Roku but as soon as I turn it on it started pairing, amazing

Wasn't happy with the roku remote that uses two AAA batteries. The batteries had to be replaced too often. I charged this remote out of the package, and it was several months before I had to charge it again.

so much easier than the old one. And I love the voice command on this one.

Best ROKU remote issued so far. Very please with the backlit button, no there's no more feeling and guessing, hitting the wrong button and having to start all over....

Good product.... does the job... love it... wouldnt choose anything else...

Voice activated Roku remote takes the work out of searching! Its universal pairing was outlined nicely for fast set up.

My old remote was acting up so I gave this one a shot. I also got one for my wife so she could control the TV without asking me. Paired easily and works great.
