This remote is a nice size and feels well made with soft touch rubber material all around it

The entire remote has a nice soft touch finish, the buttons are comfortable and it has a motion sense that lights up the button when you grab it.

Great little remote, feels great in the hand and the soft touch finish is nice

The remote is made with nice soft touch plastics, the button feedback is good, and it has one of those neato motion sensors inside it so that the buttons will softly light up when you grab it

The buttons light up when its moved, which is a nice touch

The feel of the remote is fantastic and the fact that the backlight comes on after picking it up is a very nice feature

It does have a nice feel in the hand and is easy to use.

It's made of an awesome smooth feeling matte material

Backlit buttons are great and remote has a nice feel to it

This is a cute little remote that has a good feel to it.

Remote back light is a very nice feature, and dims quickly after you set it down so not to be obnoxious

The only really cool feature of this remote is that the buttons light up when you move it

Light feature on remote is awesome, when you are watching in the dark and move the

The lights light up when you touch the remote, which is a great feature.

It has only the most basic features and misses many features you find on the most inexpensive remotes.

This remote is a nice size and feels well made with soft touch rubber material all around it

The size and style of the remote and lack of features are what hampers this item.

The size is perfect and the buttons themselves work well

But even then, the size isn't really a problem

The only negative i've found so far is the size.

The remote works great, is responsive, but uncomfortable to hold

Unfortunate considering the controllers work wirelessly.

easy to connect and works great only problem is that you have to have the remote pointed directly at your xbox to get it to work

This is a decent remote, It feels sturdy works as addvertised and looks great

The voice command Xbox volume up or down works great the remote doesn't work

This product is the worst that Microsoft has ever produced

Great product if you like to stream videos and movies from your xbox.

its a genuine remote, just a bad Microsoft product uses a remote type ir instead of what evers in the xbox controller

This was a poorly designed product that should have had some better design behind it.

Great product that detects movement and lights up when picked up

The Remote itself for functionality is great but the build quality is terrible with plastic backing and on mine I received the Xbox logo upside down

THe ownly downfall is that in some applications it isnt recognized as a proper controller which can be annoying as when i was trying to set up a fitness profile i had to go grab the controller.

The build quality is good, but the directional buttons are not forgiving

It feels a little awkward in the hand, but great build quality.

It feels a little awkward in the hand, but great build quality.

Remote back light is a very nice feature, and dims quickly after you set it down so not to be obnoxious

Luckily a jolt or vibration will make the keypad light up so just slap the couch when you need to find the remote

My only complaint is that the lighting is motion sensitive so bumping it at all will turn on the lights under the keypad for a short while

Love how the keypad lights up automatically when you pick up the remote

I wish every time you touched the remote the light wouldn't turn on its a little annoying at times

Nice sleek, simple design, nothing to complain about it

I have to admit, the design is nice and feels very modern

It has some weight to it, definitely not a cheap design

I like the curved design because it feels good in the hand and makes this remote look differently

I bought it to have remote capability with one hand, and it meets that criteria -- but overall, just a poorly designed remote.

The only negative thing I can think to say about this remote is that it can't handle being bitten by a 13 month old little girl

You'll find yourself having to shake the thing just to keep them on

Favorite thing about it is the backlight for the buttons when just moving the remote

Here's the great thing: if your Xbox One is set up to control your TV and your audio receiver, this remote will work them too

The only thing wrong with the remote is it is a little chunky

If they had one in bright Xbox Green, I would have gotten that.

Allows you to operate your xbox one without turning on your controller and burning through batteries

This Xbox One remote must be IR, since it doesn't work all the time if there are any obstructions in your way

I now have the Xbox one X now and again it works flawlessly

As an early adopter, I recognize that not everything works great day one, but this remote has made an already frustrating xbox one experience even worst.

The brand new out of the box remote would not work in the store either, the sales people could not explain why it was not working properly.

I hope Microsoft starts packaging this with the One, though I doubt that'll happen, as they'd lose peripheral sales

Last night I was able to properly connect my dish box and audio receiver and it works as it should

By the way, setting up the remote to work as my TV remote: effortless

THe ownly downfall is that in some applications it isnt recognized as a proper controller which can be annoying as when i was trying to set up a fitness profile i had to go grab the controller.

It definitly could use some number buttons & (XYAB) buttons

The entire remote has a nice soft touch finish, the buttons are comfortable and it has a motion sense that lights up the button when you grab it.

I like that the buttons illuminate just by moving the remote

The buttons illuminate whenever you move the remote, so you always know where the right button is.

I only bought the remote, and I was happy to find it, because the buttons are so touchy on the

Since that was a big reason we ordered it its disappointing

The only reason I am not returning it is because my wife refuses to play movies using the gaming controller

The reason it got 4 stars rather than 5 is because if I point it right at the xbox it doesn't work all the time.

Other then that works as it should and I use it everyday.

But the xbox one doesn't use the kinect infrared sensor for some ridiculous reason - so you need to point it directly -

I like the finish, but the matte black makes it very hard to see the remote in a dark home theater

By the way, setting up the remote to work as my TV remote: effortless

The remote lights up when you move it which is great for a dark theater room.

A very useful feature if you are watching TV in a darkened home theater, or just surfing the couch after hours with the lights out

Last night I was able to properly connect my dish box and audio receiver and it works as it should

The Xbox controllers, on the other hand, work well from over 30 ft away so I am puzzled why the remote was made to have such a weak signal in comparison

The signal from the remote to the Xbox is so weak that you have to aim it directly at the console and be within about 5-7 feet of it for the remote to work.

Works as it should - big issue I have with this remote is the battery life

Other then that works as it should and I use it everyday.

I also need to grab my cable box remote to power it on and off as well as to pull up my DVR list or to record something on my DVR.

But because it was an afterthought, the hardware support is the issue.

The one positive I will say is that the remote is nicely designed

The TV being an off brand may also be part of this strange issue, but it has never had any other issues with the Xbox One controlling it's features.

In either case, this has resolved my one issue with this remote, so I honestly can't recommend it enough.

, batteries haven't been an issue (little hard to get in the battery compartment the first time) and I've lost it 15 times already.

With all the TV integration hype these features are glaringly absent from this media remote, the loss of Kinect as a mandatory interface just enhances the lack of those interfaces on the XB1 Media remoteAdditional food for thought, both 360 remotes by Microsoft have full number pads, which for the 360 are purely vestigial.

Pros: Sleek design, easy to use, and good priceCons: Directional pad can be a little TOO sensitive took a little getting used toGreat design for the XBOX One's new remote

I also wish it had a number pad (only thing keeping a 5 star rating) but overall if you are using your Xbox for cable/video and not solely for gaming I highly recommend this.

Other then that works as it should and I use it everyday.

I also need to grab my cable box remote to power it on and off as well as to pull up my DVR list or to record something on my DVR.

I'm looking for something now a little more comprehensive, with X Y B A buttons and the like, but this remote will not disappoint for what it's made to do.

A bit pricier than the off brand remotes, but I would buy it again

The one positive I will say is that the remote is nicely designed

I'm a bit disappointed that the remote uses LOS (line-of-sight) as opposed to just Bluetooth.

The Xbox One Media Remote arrived today, and after just a couple of hours with it, I have to say I like it quite a bit

I'd just like to clarify a few things: I'm seeing reviews left (as recently as a week ago) that this remote doesn't work with the Netflix app.

The one positive I will say is that the remote is nicely designed

I rarely give bad reviews, but this is a terrible product.

They must be paying a fortune for the good reviews.

update my review if it actually works later on.

People complain about having to point it at the Xbox but I haven’t found that to be the case

I don't mind aiming at my device when I use a remote, but I can understand on bluetooth functionality has spoiled people

If you go over to Xbox.com forums, many people have the same complaint

Some people are complaining about this remote being infrared and therefore has to have line of sight to the Xbox One

The brand new out of the box remote would not work in the store either, the sales people could not explain why it was not working properly.

The backlit buttons are super useful too! using it in a dark room is not a problem at all

The remote lights up when you move it which is great for a dark theater room.

The remote is high quality and lights up when you first touch it,which is great when you are using in a dark room

this little guy has great ergonomics, making navigation in a darkened room easier than i've found on any other controller

The best feature in my opinion is the way that as soon as you pick up the remote the buttons all light up this is great when watching TV in a dark room as I often do
