Ratings & Reviews for Roku 1 -Device Universal Remote Control

One year, still going strong

I bought this voice remote about a year ago and it's still working great. It paired easily with my Roku TV and I've never had any issue with it. The headphone jack was the reason I bought it, but the remote finder feature is probably what I use most.

2023 and still using micro USB. Meh.

Great remote, but the miscalculation of using a micro USB port for charging instead of USB-C boggles my mind. Would have gotten 5 stars, but the disappointment of needing to use a separate cable to charge my remote only gets it a 3.

Works well, needs updated

It uses micro usb instead of USB-C to charge up, after awhile the port wears out and cable won't stay in, It has done this on every one I own. It's does charge fast so that helps,

it is a great remote, except

i have a surround sound system, that you have to mute the TV for it to work, or the combined receiver, and TV sound mess up the sound. the problem is the mute button is right where you hold the remote, and i keep hitting the button, and mess up the sound. i wish i could shield that button so it wouldn't happen. but haven't figured that out yet.

I hate your preprogrammed buttons.

I can program two buttons but not the other four? How dare you. Let me program all six and take my money.

I have bought 2 of these. They are great when you first get them but after about a month they start being a problem to charge. The charging cord will not stay connected. You have to actually get it just right and hold it in to charge the remote. I thought I just got a bad one the first time so I bought another one to go with my new Roku tv. It did exactly the same thing but the last time I tried to charge it, the remote and cord both got hot. I loved being able to connect my ear buds to the ...

Great remote except NO USB-C

This remote is great. It did everything I needed. However, it uses Micro-USB for the charging port so I returned it. I definitely will purchase this again when they switch to usb-c. If having to use an obsolete cable to charge this remote isn't a problem for you, you should buy this. I think you'll be happy with it

Loved it for 10 Minutes

Was excited to setup my new Remote. Loved all the Options, UNTIL I constantly kept hitting the Mute button located below the Volume Up and Down controls. This was extremely irritating. So much so that I swapped it for a seldom used remote from my bedroom roku. Obviously the Remote designer NEVER used it in real life.

Horrible

Got this to use voice commands on my original Roku, but that function often does not work. Also liked the idea of no batteries, but it has to be charged every few days, ridicoulous!

was great until...

Battery does not seem tobe holding a chage anymore?? Cant' replace it so I have to buy a new one?! Would be great if it lasted longer!

The best Roku remote we’ve had! But…

Voice control! A headphone jack for private listening! A rechargeable battery! PROGRAMMABLE SHORTCUT BUTTONS!! This is a galactic step up from the basic remotes on our other Roku devices, and it pairs well with our Plus series TV. That being said, there is still room to improve. While I can now assign my own channels to the two custom shortcut buttons, there are still the four hard-set buttons for channels I’ll never use (except maybe Netflix). I am guessing Roku has been subsidizing cost...

POOR SOUND quality using ear buds/headphones

While listening with ear buds or headphones plugged in, I constantly hear a hiss, static, white noise or all three!! It does not matter if it is plugged in charging or not, I still hear it and hear it over the broadcast. This is THE WORST thing ever. My battery remote with ear bud jack never ever ever had this issue. Poor quality, I do not recommend and will never buy another rechargeable headphone jack capable remote from Roku, ever.

Pretty decent remote

I purchased this remote in August of this year and while I enjoy the functionality of the remote, the volume button is giving a bit of an issue. When i press the button to turn the volume up or down, nothing will happen. I am not sure if this issue has happened to other people or just myself. However, even after I repair my remote, I still have the same problem. Otherwise, the remote works well and I live that I can connect my headphones to it.

It’s good ig

It’s a pretty alright remote, the two shortcuts are useful. But I’m a little upset at the buttons included. From what I bought, based on the photo, it looked like I was going to get Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Apple TV. However when opening the package, it had Netflix, Apple TV, Paramount+, and HBO Max. I rarely ever use these apps (I don’t even have a HBO Max or an Apple TV subscription) so I feel like I’m just limited to the two programable shortcut buttons. But it’s fine, I guess, it’s a remo...

Only works if plugged into outlet

Do not buy this product. I bought into the concept of recharging to help save the environment by not using batteries. As it first started to go, it would just randomly blink "4% battery life" left about every 3 minutes on my tv screen. After 2 full days of charging, the problem continued. Now it stopped working unless it's plugged into the wall. Pure garbage, save your money.

Dies so quick

We’ve had this for awhile now and while I love the lost remote feature- we are constantly having to charge this remote

Battery Starting to Fail

I’m not sure how long we have had this remote now, but the rechargeable battery is starting to fail. We have to charge it almost every other day now! I love this remote though, so I will likely buy another. I do not recommend getting this for a child’s tv though because my son broke the prong in the charging port for his so I went back to a regular battery remote for his TV.

Why did you create this without USBC?

For charging micro usb is the worst port as it’s very prone to failure in a short time. Please reengineer this and replace the charging port. I got a micro to c adapter for now on mine but this is insane that in this day and age anyone uses micro usb. STOP IT

6 months and dead

I purchased the 4K streaming stick which came with this remote. Six months later the remote won't hold a charge. Even when it has a charge, it now won't pair with the streaming stick. Going back to the battery powered model!

LET ME PROGRAM MY BUTTONS!!!

3 of the 4 pre programed buttons will never be used and the 4th will rarely be used. Just give me 4 or 6 buttons I CAN PROGRAM AND TAKE MY MONEY!!! And the tag, why???
