Point and shoot remote works out of the box, simple and sweet, no frills

I read several reviews which stated these do not work or only work from very short distances and aren't like an OEM Roku remote. The simple fact is they are not, Roku remotes in many cases use WiFi or Bluetooth frequencies and have a pairing button under the battery door (some not all). These remotes are RF only using infrared (old school simplicity) and also unlike the OEM units use 2 AAA batteries not 2 AA batteries so they are smaller in size and weight. The short version, I plopped in a couple of AAA batteries, pointed it at my Roku 4 and the TV and Roku powered up to the main screen. FYI if you don't have your Roku unit programmed to turn on your TV via the HDMI cable, you should, makes like so much easier than having to turn on the TV then find the Roku remote. Still need the 2nd remote for the TV volume but if you don't change it too often what does it matter. Onto the devices, construction is the same as any OEM unit, they are not flimsy, they are fine, maybe a 10cent part where OEM might have used 15cent parts but honestly for the price and the fact that I can get 4 of these for the price of 1 Roku remote, worth every penny. These have 6 buttons on the top menu and no voice search button, something I never used so no issue there. These don't have volume buttons either, that's a feature of a connected remote like the OEM, if you want then then spend the 29 dollars for the OEM units from Roku and don't bother reading any more of this review because these units are not for you. The reports that these units only work at 3 or 4 feet, greatly exaggerated and disproved, again these are RF remotes you need to point them at the unit but I was 15 feet away from my TV and they worked perfectly. Each of the pre-programmed buttons worked flawlessly, I don't have a couple of the apps but the ones that I use all came right up so programming was fine. I didn't find that I needed to push extra hard, I didn't find that I had to get up close and personal, I knew going in that I wasn't going to need to pair the unit via pairing button and wasn't going to expect headphones on the remote because it's a simple remote. If you have a lower end Roku unit (non IR remote) then this will be plug & play.

Works great!

Works Great once I put the batteries in right. I got it and rushed putting the batteries in pointed it at my roku and nothing... Turned the webcam on my laptop on and pointed it at the camera. Couldn't see anything. You should see a white light on your screen if you point an infared remote at your webcam. Tried one of my other remotes sure enough I could see the white light on the screen. Checked the batteries I had put them both in going same direction. Changed it up pointed at camera YAY! whiye light. Pointed at my roku worked great!

Works as Advertised.

It worked great right out of the box. Seems as sturdy and any remote I've used. No instructions came with it, but I followed the steps in my Roku's user manual, and the remote did what it was supposed to. I was away from home, and the unit connected my Roku to the local wifi without a hitch. If there are any problems down the road, I'll update my review.

After using it for about a week I'm happy to report the only thing cheap was the price

When it first arrived it was so light I was afraid it was a cheap copy. After using it for about a week I'm happy to report the only thing cheap was the price! It works fantastic and all the problems I was having with my Roku disappeared. My Roku Is several years old and I kept having to press the keys on the old remote very hard and very often. This remote has been great. I've only had it about a week but it does have a one year warranty so I'm hopeful it will continue to work as well as it does now.

Worth the money

This remote is very light weight because it's pared down to two AAA batteries for one thing. At first I gave this a bad review saying you had to stand by the base for this to work, I was wrong. I have two different Rokus, the 3 and the new one that was over $100, this matches both without having to pair. You have to have the light beam on the puck pointing outward toward where you are sitting then the remote works like a charm. Yes, this is worth the price.

GREAT SO FAR

I was so happy that this worked instantly. I just popped in 2 AAA batteries and it worked !! I bought long life batteries from the dollar store, as it comes without batteries. Sure it is lighter in weight than the original Roku, but who cares. It is way cheaper, and it has the instant buttons to get Netflix, and Pandora, the two streaming things I watch, so I am a very happy camper. I did read all about the product first, but since I am dumb electronically I was a little worried that it would not work. BUT NO PROBLEMS

Automatically connects

Automatically connected and works perfectly. The buttons need to be pressed more firmly than the original Roku remote. A few of the buttons on the remote no longer have Roku channels. Overall, these are minor issues for a working remote at a great price.

Good for the price

Got this remote for the XS we had for a while now whose remote we misplaced during a move. It's working great (given the price and the fact that it's not a fancy ROKU brand remote)! I see no issues with the performance or quality so far (been a week) and we sit about 4-5 feet away from the TV/Roku unit. All the buttons work too, which I think is awesome! Sooooo happy that I don't have to constantly use the buggy roku app on my phone anymore to communicate with this roku unit. I gave a 3 star for durability since I have not had enough time to gauge that aspect yet.

I misplaced the original remote to my ROKU device and ...

I misplaced the original remote to my ROKU device and since getting a new tv in my spare room and cancelling my cable subscription, this really comes in handy. This also has a convenience in the fact that it already has the Netflix and Amazon buttons already programmed on it.

Quick and easy replacement for Roku 2 remote

Bought as a replacement for my lost Roku 2 remote. Opened the package, inserted two AAA batteries and the remote began working immediately. No fuss. No complicated process to link with device. Just fired it up and it started working. I wish everything worked this quickly and easily.
