Bought for a series s compatibility was great, It connected instantly when I put batteries in the remote. Hit the power button and it turned my Xbox immediately on. The real Test was my wife. She couldn’t figure out a controller. Instead of questions and a small how to. She now can do it on her own. 10/10 recommend for easy setup and the headache relief. Feels great in your hand. Size is not to big or small. And for the price you can beat it. The durability worries me because I drop everything. I can see the illumination through it. So hopefully it’s durable enough that I break it on the first drop. After forgetting it’s on my lap. Lol love that I can pick the sticker of the Xbox symbol. I used the black one because that’s my style. Read more
Works well. Doesn't draw much power, so batteries will last a while. Just point and use, on any Xbox, no setup or connection required. Tested and works on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One S. The illuminated buttons on motion is a great touch. Read more
Does exactly what it says. Solid and high end feeling design, slap in batteries and works straight away with my Xbox, and feels great in my hand. Definitely worth the money. Only missing a star because the battery cover is quite difficult to remove and it needs a visual line of sight to work with the Xbox. Aside from that, definitely purchase it if you don’t like using your controller as a remote for your Xbox. Read more
Had a bad battery. Replaced and device works. As advertised Read more
Awesome remote, no set up required, automatically links to the Xbox. And you set your Xbox to the TV in settings and you can control the TV with the remote as well. Extremely satisfied with the product. Read more
This remote is sleek and feels good in your hand. The buttons have a pretty good layout and I like the motion sense light up buttons. It works out of the box with my Xbox Series X just fine. It is really nice because I can turn on the Xbox, my TV and my Bose soundbar with one press of the Xbox button on the remote. The volume buttons also control my soundbar. When I turn off the Xbox with the remote it turns of the soundbar and TV as well, so I don't need to use any other remotes. I believe this is all possible due to the ARC features through the HDMI cables and not something specific to the remote, but I'm very happy it all works this way. My complaint is the buttons. They have a bit of a squishy feel but still have a "click" to them under the squish, which I think is just fine. The problem is the button presses are not registering consistently. You will press a button and feel the click but it doesn't do anything. You might hit the button 5-6 times before it registers the button press. Sometimes it works on the first click, but other times it's 3 presses, 5 presses, etc. Sometimes you are clicking and keep pressing the button and nothing happens but then all of a sudden it registers 3 button presses and now you have to navigate back. It is so frustrating because it is literally the main purpose of the remote, to press buttons to navigate screens. So when it works so inconsistently it just drives you crazy. I'm keeping the remote and just dealing with the frustration because for as bad as it is I still like it better than the Xbox Controller for media. Read more
Remote works fantastically as long as one condition is met: the remote has to be able to see the Xbox. Was hoping this used Bluetooth or at least the Xbox wireless protocol as my Xbox is hidden behind my TV but, alas, IR only. Luckily, IR extenders are pretty cheap! Read more
So this remote works as intended for the most part. I had no trouble syncing to my Xbox1. As soon as I put the batteries in, it started controlling the Xbox. The glow in the dark feature is nice. It’s responsive for the most part. Sometimes I have to point it a certain way but it’s not too often to be a pain. Just be sure you have a TV that can be turned on by the Xbox itself because there’s no way to power on the TV by the remote. Also it doesn’t control the volume. However that could be I haven’t synced it to the TV or something. It’s not very clear about that. If the remote could fully control the TV power AND volume, I’d give it 5 stars. The PlayStation remote is far superior to this remote. Read more
