Ratings & Reviews for Roku 1 -Device Universal Remote Control

Please IMPROVE Button Sensitivity

I have had 4 roku remotes in the past that almost all of them had issues with button sensitivity, very frustrating because i don't want to have to use extra pressure for the buttons to go down fully and have to repeatedly repress direction or volume buttons. When you softly slowly press the button down it should still register a 'click' but a lot of these roku remotes you have to press the directional arrows harder than any other remote i've used. Usually it's the bottom arrow that is worse but...

Remote stopped working after 2 months.

The remote stopped working after 2 months. I plugged it in to USB-C and it started working. I found it to have 85% charge according to the Roku TV it is paired to. A day later it stopped working again. The light on the remote is lit as if a button is being pressed but no amount of plugging it in and unplugging it will make it work again.

Died in just a few months

Remote died in less than a year, I tried plugging it into the charger and still nothing..

Slow TV Control on LG and Samsung TV

No batteries and back lit? What's not to love? Here is my list. It's slow to respond. More specifically, it's slow with power on and off and volume control of the tv. Both the LG and Samsung show the same issue, but the LG is worse. It doesn't matter if I set it infrared or led. It takes 5 to 10 seconds before the TV volume goes down or up. I still recommend based on the fact that the Samsung is acceptable speed-wise. Resetting the remote yields no speed increases LG 2019 55 inch 4k ...

Great buttons.

With a microphone button, lost remote finder, and backlit buttons, it is a great remote!

Remote is garbage that fails to work every day

I really, really regret getting the Roku battery free remote. It is shoddy garbage. At least once per day it simply stops working. It’s fully charged but simply non-functional. The reset process rarely works. Often I just have to stop watching until the next day

Voice control stopped functioning

We bought this remote just over a year again, and after 2 months, both the hands free voice control and the microphone button stopped working. Wouldn't waste the extra money for the voice control feature. The back lit buttons are nice, but honestly would not spend the extra money again.

Needs headphone jack

I really appreciate the backlit feature for my bedroom tv, only wish you could include a headphone jack which would make it so much better for those of us in a shared bedroom. I’ll be using two different remotes. Also, hoping you can include numbers like my Xumo has for your next improvement. Overall, I love Roku and have been using since the beginning

The best remote love the voice control

I love this remote the voice control is the best feature

5 Stars for Advertising!!!

I was to replace my remote with an actual Roku brand remote, but they all have the same problem. Below the picture describing the buttons, "App shortcut buttons may vary" and the box picture shows four BLANK app shortcut buttons. So, basically Roku is saying, "Buy our products. Oh, by the way, we cannot tell you what you are going to actually get." So there are four buttons devoted to advertising that the customer may not use. :-(

Great just drains battery pretty fast

Love the remote I just wish there was a way to disable the backlight on the remote. It seems to help drain the battery. I don't need light in the daytime. The remote seems to last a month or 2 but I guess I can charge it while I'm sleep?

Liked it at first

At first I was excited by the light up buttons and its charging capabilities, I’ve not had this a year and now it won’t charge. It won’t turn on, turn off. Nothing just dead. I’ll go back to batteries and blindly clicking buttons in the dark.

Worked great then.... not so much

I bought this version (Remote Pro 2) because it was advertised (at the time I bought it) as a motion-activated backlight. They said you could pick it up and it lights the buttons. It did that very well... until about 8 months into me having it. Now I actually have to press a button for the backlight to work. Kinda hard when the room is dark and I can't see what button I can press that won't disrupt the program. I notice they changed thair advertisements to say "touch-activated" now. That doen't ...

Second one I bought

OK, it has no batteries; charge it overnight. I tried to pair it 10 times, reading every how-to comment, but neither will pair. But it works when it is in pairing mode, then it times out, and I have to be within 5' of the sound bar. OH, but everyone is an expert, noting I do work what garbage

Usb-C great!! but..

I have the 1st edition pro remote and bought the 2nd edition for the Usb-C charging. As all I have and use in my house is type-C, however compared to my 1st edition I am now without a headphone jack and down 1 custom app launch button. Which is a big down side for me, so I am just going to have to swap remotes when I need to use my headphones. So if I still have to use my old model there's no point in the new one if features are being left out.

No headphone jack or Bluetooth???

I am a big fan of Roku - an "early adoptor" from way back. I've upgraded remotes several times. But no headphone capability is a deal killer for this remote.. End of story.

Poor battery life!

Love the remotes functionality but hate the battery life as I only get up to 2 weeks on a full charge. Don't use voice commands and have the hands-free switch set to off. IMHO the issue is the backlighting comes on all the time even if you just move the remote. Would make more sense to have the switch control the backlighting instead of hand-free voice commands as there is a button to use voice commands already.

The new one suck.

The new control have light on the buttons n that waste alot of battery,the control frezzes n dont want to work,i never buying the second gen pf pro control the old one is better.

"Soft buttons" are terrible.

After a couple of years, finally giving up on mashing buttons on this remote instead of simple tapping. Ditching this Voice Remote Pro and digging out my original Roku remote. Thought I'd order a new one but concerned they're all "soft buttons" now.

Love, Love, Love this Remote

I don't know what took me so long to get one of these but when I saw it on sale I could resist no longer. Most importantly for me at first were the backlit buttons. We watch a lot in the evenings and finding the right button in dim light was a chore. Now it's a piece of cake. Then I learned about the remote finder function and it is also a great feature. Either the wife or I are leaving the remote somewhere the other doesn't know and finding the remote now is so easy. The last thing we're ...
