Ratings & Reviews for Roku 1 -Device Universal Remote Control

Roku remote great features

I bought this device to replace my current one and the new one had all the features I wanted backlight and volume control and voice activation and the ability to turn the system on and off.

Roku remotes

Had all the features I wanted including Back lighting Power on off Volume controls on side

Truly Terrible

I am on my third Roku remote now and it is needs to be charged all the time. It also loses sync so find remote doesn't work. The buttons are wearing out and need to be pushed harder. I have tons of electronics and this is the only device which is a persistent problems with remotes. Three remotes later and I still do not have one which is the least bit reliable. I can't wait to move to another platform.

terrible

i'm the least 3 years i've had to buy 4 of them because something always ends up malfunctioning with them. i would not recommend

New Roku remote

I have been looking to replace my Roku remote but am disappointed with the ones that are available now. No audio jack is a deal breaker for me and I don’t use my phone with the app. I shouldn’t have to do that as it was simple just to plug in my headphones. I don’t use the phone app very often as I have several players in my house.

Headphone private listening GONE

what LAME BRAIN idiot REMOVED the headphone jack? Did you bother to do any MARKET RESEARCH to see how people USED IT? LIKED IT? WHY WAS IT REMOVED?

Lack of headphone jack

There're some good enhancement on this Voice Remote Pro, but missing a critical feature which is a deal killer for me. Pro: * Rechargeable battery - great, more environmental friendly * Backlit buttons - useful if you're watching TV in a fairly low ambient light environment * Lost remote finder - good to have, voice activated and you can still use the Roku app to trigger if the hands-free voice function is inactivate * TV power, volume, and mute buttons - useful with HDMI-CEC compati...

if you need a new remote

If you remote isn't working anymore then by all means, it does have some upgrades. Unfortunately it still has the single biggest flaw it has always had, the stupid preset buttons you can't change and always inadvertently push at the worst possible time. Ditch these Roku or at least let them be programmable, including to do nothing.

Don't have headphones availability

The worse thing Roku did was discontinued the remote with the headphone was the best remote. The privacy of had headphone and not bother anyone around you was priceless. Wrong move Rolu ! Time another provider with this accessories and change from Roku

Roku Voice Remote Pro (2nd edition) is not durable

I started using the Voice Remote Pro (2nd edition) with the lighted buttons 10 days ago. The blue left, right, up, down buttons get lots of use, (with YouTube). The blue right button was showing signs of wear after 2 days of use. Now the blue left and right buttons hardly work. I put my four year old Roku Ultra Remote back into use. The buttons on the Ultra Remote are still in excellent condition.

Short life span

Bought this replacement May 27, 2024. It started going on the fritz a couple months ago. Ordering a new replacement for the replacement today. Hope it does better. Otherwise it'll be so long roku.

Great Product and Excellent Customer Service

I decided to upgrade my old remote with this new Pro 2nd edition. I had a small issue with the remote that was sent and customer service was easy to get ahold of and they took care of my issue swiftly. I couldn't be more pleased. My new remote is top quality and works like a charm. Set up was almost nothing. It just started working and controlling TV volume immediately. I'm super happy with all my Roku devices and remotes. IMO Roku is the best streaming devices on the market. I hope they con...

Add a finger print reader

Add a finger print to each profile/user so we can have security for kids. A password on the screen doesn't work, they can see the # being entered. Then allow parents to choose which user can see which installed apps, and then later add the ability for apps made for Roku to subscribe to security based on program rating.

So many years, still missing tactile homing button

Even the latest Roku Remote lacks a tactile homing button, something so simple. The Play/Pause button, arguably the most used button on the remote, does not have any tactile homing buttons on it so that when you touch that button, you feel the little tiny bumps letting your finger know that you're on the right button without ever looking at it. Nearly every major remote for any device does this with their main button(s). Just add 3 raised dots on the play/pause button, problem solved.

Colors coming off buttons after 2 months

After 2 months of upgrading my current remote and also buying a new ultra device just to update an older one I had that actually still worked fine... The colors on the buttons are rubbing off. I've had multiple Roku devices for many years now. I've replaced multiple remotes and I times I just like to upgrade my older models. I've never had the colors rub on off any remote and I've had some heavily used ones in the past. I've been a fan and big supporter of Roku. But when I told them about the ...

Bring back the headphone jack!

We liked the old remote with the headphone jack so someone could watch a show and the rest of the family didn’t have to hear it. Very helpful when someone is busy with work or homework and someone else is watching tv.

Great, universal remote

I love this remote. It has everything. It’s rechargeable has a back light has a remote finder. It was very easy to set up. Love it.

why all the promotional buttons?

I don't get why you have to have Disney, Netflix, Apple TV. Not everybody has those. Why not just enable them to be assigned to your favorite channels? Personally, every time I see that, I think it's a canned remote that came with a promotional TV. Whereas Roku seems to be above all that. I have one that I purchased a year plus ago, and I like it. I could see improvements needed for it, but not to start adding buttons like Disney, et cetera, when some people never ever would use them. I have on...

Shortcut buttons

Why are these not customizable? I have use for only one of the four, so from the “get go”, 75% of these buttons are useless to me.

MAJOR UPGRADE FROM PRIOR PRO REMOTE

USBC AND BACKLIT ARE WORTH THE PRICE ALONE. GREAT BATTERY LIFE.
