The only remote I need

This remote is probably the best purchase I've made in my time at Revain. My husband and I only use our TV to watch Netflix or videos from our computer and we always do this through our Xbox. It would be so annoying to keep turning controls on while binge browsing only to turn them off again before needed. This remote control is always on, so don't worry about it turning off. We don't even use the TV remote as we can control the channels and volume of everything in it. Two things I would likeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Really don't like it, everything is fine

Simple and easy to use!

When my son switched to xBox One for his birthday, I took his old xBox 360. But I hated the controller. 1. I had to turn it off after each use because the battery always ran out quickly. Which was uncomfortable. 2. It was difficult to navigate with him. I wanted a remote control. Something that didn't need to be switched on and off, but was always ready to use. So my husband suggested this media remote. That's exactly what I wanted. I was even able to connect it to my TV, so now all I need is a

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not happy

It wasn't that annoying at first

You have to be right in front of the XBox for the remote control to work; The range seems to be very limited. I have to maintain line of sight and press buttons many times for something to happen. The remote also lacks the bumper and trigger buttons of a regular XBox controller. This is important if you have parental controls enabled and your password uses the numbers assigned to the bumper/trigger buttons. I had to change the password to only use numbers matching a cross. Additionally, appsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • There are downsides

It's hard to tell if this is an improvement over the old white design.

This remote control has many advantages. It's smaller, lighter, prettier (glossy black), and costs less than what I paid for my old, larger, white Xbox 360 remote a few years ago. First, if you haven't seen or used the old remote then you might be missing most of what I'm about to say. The remote control works well and has almost all the necessary functions. But when I switched from the old ones, I was missing a few things. This new version definitely looks better. Black almost always looksโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Annoying

Worked for me right away.

UPDATE: Purchased November 6, 2015 Died March 19, 2016. This remote fell from a height of approximately 2 feet off a coffee table onto a hardwood floor. Thinking it was a simple battery issue, I changed the batteries 3 times and changed the Xbox settings from both remotes to just the Xbox 360 media remote. The remote control has stopped working on my TV or Xbox. I'd like to say the remote was great when it worked, but the IR needs to be very close to the Xbox console to even work, so I figure I

Pros
  • Media playback controls include play/pause, skip forward, fast forward, skip back, fast rewind, and view.
Cons
  • Secret

Works as advertised

I bought this to let my wife watch Revain Prime Video on our Xbox 360 I can stream while I play games on my Xbox One. How the remote works as advertised. It lets me browse the Xbox 360 menus, control the video being played (we mostly use DVD or Amazon Prime), turn the TV on and off, and adjust the TV volume. If you don't like using a controller for movies and then use another TV remote to adjust the volume, this will make you happy. In terms of features, it works great. The only reason I gaveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Live TV if provided by your TV provider on Xbox 360, can also be controlled with Xbox 360 media remote
Cons
  • I'm silent

Very good remote that still doesn't work perfectly

This remote works very satisfactorily most of the time and learned my Sony TV program quickly and automatically. I've only been using it to control recorded video playback with the media expansion feature on my new Xbox 360 and have only been doing so for a few weeks. but I have used it frequently with many world championship records, Tour de France and other records, and used all or most Media Center features. Compared to an old HP Windows Media Center remote that I have now on standby from an

Pros
  • Has a polished top case and rubberized buttons with solid feedback when pressed
Cons
  • No
