It did control. all of my 4 of my devices to some degree. Range was not very far, about 6 feet. It will not control a Fire Stick. Overall disappointed

The light not being automatic, or even having the option is the difference between this being wow, and woah. For the price i probably wouldnt buy it again.

Pro: -Can lock volume and channel changing to one function -Macro recording Con: -Doesn’t work well with Sony audio devices -Some functions doesn't work properly The TERK remote is a simple, easy to set up universal remote that can control up to 8 devices. It uses numeric code entry to program each device based on their brands. It has a lock function that lets you control volume and channels of other devices while using the TV. It also has macro functions, able to record up to 14 steps and assign them to one of the function buttons. It has a rechargeable, but not removable, battery with a USB-C cable. While it worked with a lot of devices I’ve tried it on, it has some issues with some devices and it didn't work well with my Sony audio devices. It also will not work with devices that don't use IR such as the Fire TV. The remote seems to only be able to control common basic functions and seems to have problems with some menu navigation or specific device functions. I have mostly Sony devices, and their audio devices mostly didn’t work with the remote. I also tested it on a Hisense TV, a Roku, and Fire TV. For the Sony devices, I was able to get it to work fine with my TV and Blu-ray player. I could access all the menus and all the common functions just fine. However, on my receiver and soundbar, the only function to work correctly was the volume. None of the menu could be used. Random buttons may control one setting, such as pressing the Disney+ button would toggle a sound setting on my soundbar. On the Hisense TV, some of the buttons were mismatched and some menu navigation didn’t work. For instance, I could pull up the menu but couldn’t exit. And I had to press the Samsung Hub button to bring up the Home menu. Other functions seem to work fine. So it mostly works with basic commands as long as I don’t have to use the menu too often. For streaming devices, the Roku works. It won’t work with the Fire TV since it uses a bluetooth remote and not an IR one. This remote is probably best for the very basics of setups, like controlling TV volume and channels, controlling a Blu-ray player, and a Roku. Depending on the brand, some functions may not work well or not at all. For my case, I would still need a remote to control my Sony audio devices and not being able to properly navigate the menu of my TV, made it not worth using.

I really love this remote. It's rechargeable, has a lovely backlight, feels great in the hand and has all the right buttons...but it just doesn't work for my setup. Oh, it claims it will - it has codes for everything I need, projector, soundbar and Roku ultra. I was terribly excited to try it out. And...meh. After fiddling with and trying all the codes for each one, I can sort of get it to work. In that, it can turn on each component and play something - which is a win in and of itself and to be fair, I've never been able to get that fair with a universal remote and this setup. But it's just sadly not quite right. While I can turn on the soundbar and change the volume, I can't really do anything else to it - likewise, with the projector, I can turn it on and access some features/menus, but not all. That said, all that would still be ok. But with the Roku, the remote is maddeningly inconsistent, especially with the most heavily used feature - the skip forward/back/play controls. The arrow keys are a bit touchy, but I could maybe live with that. But I get no consistent capabilities with regards to moving around in a record (in Hulu it's particularly bad and I use Hulu Live). So I won't use this for its originally intended purpose. I've instead set it up with my more "normal" TV setup and there it works fine. So I'll use it in that room instead and enjoy all the lovely features of the remote (rechargeable batteries, blue glow backlight, multiple devices consolidated into one) there. So IF this remote works with your setup, it's a great remote. But as a universal remote, I do wish it worked with the setup I intended it for.

I was excited to give the Terk remote a try, and while the design is sleek, it's rechargeable, and supports a wide number of devices, I found that it didn't work well for my setup. It's unfortunate, because this would've worked great to consolidate my excessive amount of remotes. The design of this remote is great with one major issue: the d-pad/vol/channel area is too cramped. I often found myself pressing two buttons at once inadvertently. Besides that, though, the button layout is great. I especially like the macro buttons along the bottom, which add some quick hot keys to certain apps or actions. The remote also feels great in the hand. As mentioned earlier, this remote doesn't work well with my system. My primary device to watch TV is a Roku stick, which doesn't have IR capability apparently. In fact, I'm not sure any of the 5 rokus I have in the house are compatible. This is the case with at least one of my TVs as well, a Hisense branded fire TV. I found codes to half operate the TV, but they didn't really work as intended. As devices have gotten more complex (built in streaming, WiFi controller/non-ir), it seems that a lot of universal remotes haven't kept pace. Unfortunately in my scenario, that seems to be the case with the Terk. It offers a lot of functionality, but just doesn't quite work with the devices I need it to work with.
