Simply genius!!

This thing is ingenious!! Much easier to program than I thought it would be and it works flawlessly. You can program each button individually to take over the functions of multiple remotes. I cut my number of remotes in half! And I still have two free buttons left that I haven't figured out what I want to use them for yet. So I got rid of my crazy cable TV service in favor of my streaming services (at nearly half the price) and cut out the need for all those remotes as well - including the remote for my sound bar. This is easily worth the price and works great too!

Couldn't Have Asked For More

I almost never write these. But this thing is absolutely PERFECT for what it does. I use SlingTV for my television provider, being a cord cutter and getting rid of cable. And I always got frustrated having multiple remotes, even if it was just two of them. I even tried one of those Harmony remotes and it worked okay. But not wonderfully. Sometimes it 'forgot' the ability to control the volume of the television, which was the entire point of the darn thing. This little add on to my existing Roku remote worked flawlessly. Programming was pretty easy too. Took a couple button presses to make sure it learned the command but that's super minor considering I can toss the original TV remote in the drawer and almost never use it again! I just needed something to control the power and the volume of my (Samsung) television and for that it works quite well! Not sure if it'll remember the signals when I go to change the batteries (guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it) but otherwise I can't complain. Like others have said you DO need the original remote since there are no codes to program in. So if you're replacing a broken or missing remote this probably won't work. But if you need it for what I needed it for, this should do the job perfectly. :D

Voila! The "Three Remote Juggle" has been eliminated!

The legacy equipment we have is a TCL 39 Inch tv purchased 4 years ago---a ROKU 3 purchased close to the same time --- The sound is channeled through an older Cambridge Soundworks AM-FM radio that we received as a gift even more years ago. So....first find the TV remote to turn on the screen...Then find the small radio remote to have control of volume and then grabbing the Roku remote to select programming. It was much like playing "Remote-Three Card Monte" in your lap to get everything to work. Decided to give this device a try. Read the directions. In ten minutes had the Sideclick programmed to turn on the radio and had buttons to increase and decrease volume. Programmed another button to turn the TV on and off. Attached to the current Roku remote. Voila! The "Three Remote Juggle" has been eliminated! Nice job folks!

Wow--*EXACTLY* what I needed when cutting the cord

I'd used my Dish Network remotes to control TVs and stereos in my various rooms. I wanted to cut the cord but didn't want to go back to multiple remotes. This is *PERFECT*. First of all, this appears to be the new model. It fit my 2018 Roku Ultras no problem. It also worked on my 2 2016 Roku Sticks. Programming couldn't be simpler. You can even program multiple devices to the same Sideclick. For example, I have one where some buttons control my surround sound receiver and others control the TV. PERFECT! My wife and I have now cut the cord and can use a single remote (well, Roku + Sideclick) to control everything we need to control. I cannot recommend this product highly enough. Currently, I'm controlling these extra devices: Samsung TV, Sony TV, Vizio TV, Toshiba TV, Sony surround sound receiver, Yamaha surround sound receiver. All work perfectly. I was worried that the volume might not work right, but I can hold down the volume button and it goes up and down just as it does on the original remotes.

Simple solution

Stumbled across this in an article when researching cord cutting strategies. I have a Roku Ultra and have struggled with having to use a universal remote to turn on my TV and sound bar. This is a genius and simple idea, and it allows you to continue using the RF Roku remote and hide the box out of site. It takes your universal, and attaches it to the Roku remote. It was super easy to program and works like a charm. I have no problem at all with how it "feels in your hand". The other advantage is when my mother-in-law comes over to babysit, she can figure out the TV much easier than my Harmony remote. The Cons: It does cover the headphone jack, but in my living room I don't really use that feature much. Also, it only uses single function buttons. So, that means the power button turns the tv on only. I had to program the extra A button to turn my sound bar off and on. Not the worst thing in the world, but someone I'd love to see in a future model. For any advanced navigation on the TV I'll need to pull out the original remote, but 90% of the time this thing gets the job done.

7 SIMPLE RULES FOR SWITCHING MY REMOTE CONTROL

This product is absolutely amazing! I tried Universal remotes but never found one that would effectively and efficiently command my roku device along with other entertainment equipment. This one got it right! I had THREE remotes, TV, Soundbar, and Roku. Now I have one! The thing that caught my attention to making this purchase is the fact that I could keep my original ROKU remote. It sets up in MINUTES. Less than 5 minutes in fact. I could not be happier. This SideClick has definitely Streamlined my Streaming Experience! GREAT JOB GUYS!

Highly recommend the Sideclick to anyone with a Roku or other media player

I've only had this for a couple of days and it's already a household favorite - its utilitarian functionality is two-fold in not only eliminating an entire remote control from the coffee table, but also consolidating the number of buttons down to the most commonly-used ones. The remote and the clip are well-built, easy to put on, and once attached to the Roku remote feel solid with no wiggle at all. The remote came with batteries and simple, easy to follow instructions which are also posted on their website. The remote learning function is extremely easy to access and program. I did have to enter learn mode and then exit after each button program, as though it were 'saving' it before moving to the next button, but it had no issue learning each button code for an InFocus projector. The only downside, as others have noted, is that clip covers up the Roku Remote's 3.5mm audio jack. I suppose you could just mount the SideClick on the other side upside down, but it'd be nice if they just made it attach on the right-side of the Roku Remote instead - it's not a huge loss since I don't use the audio port that often but others may. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone with a Roku and/or the other media players that they also support.

It WORKS!!

My husband bought a “universal” remote thinking it would work with our Roku stick and we wouldn’t have to have multiple remotes anymore. Even though the advertising on the universal one he purchased said “Roku compatible” we found out after we started programming that it was not going to work. After a few minutes of Google searching I came across this sideclick device and purchased it after reading reviews. I just connected it and programmed it right now and it’s working amazingly well! I am very happy we now only have one remote to deal with, especially since we’ve gotten rid of our cable and now use streaming TV and apps. Highly recommend!! Note: there are several device options, so make sure you don’t buy one for a Roku if you need it for a Fire stick, or whatever.

Best idea!

This was an amazing find. I hated that the Roku remote couldn't control the volume or turn on/off the TV. This item allows one to add control features from different remotes. I made the power, button turn on/off the TV; the plus/minus buttons control the TV volume. The "A" button turns on the home theater system. The up and down arrows control the theater system volume. Sweet! Now I can use one control. The instructions were very brief and didn't explain the process well. You have to face the infra red of the remote you wish to minic to the infra red of this device, and push the button on the device you wish to mimic. The way this clips to the Roku is very secure. It's not that easy to snap off.
