1.0 out of 5 starsHorrible Remote
Reviewed in Canada on December 11, 2023
I've never written an Amazon review before, but I feel compelled to let people know how terrible this remote is. I had to buy it as a replacement when my last Roku remote started doing the squealing battery thing (it's apparently super common, you can easily Google that this is a known issue). Anyways, I bought this remote and it came quickly, I think it took maybe a day to arrive, so that was great.
It came wrapped in a tiny bubble Ziplock style bag. It worked, but just barely. You have to be about a foot in front of the TV for it to actually pick up the remote signal. There have been times when I'm standing right in front of the TV hitting a button and it won't go through for several presses. The entire right side of the remote seems "sticky" in that the buttons on that side tend to not work work until multiple presses.
After using it for about a week, it is just a broken pain in the butt. The downloadable Roku remote app you can get for your phone is less of a hassle than this thing is. Returning it in hopes of finding a better remote, but this one is absolutely the worst remote I've ever used.
