Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhance Your Xbox One Experience with the Nyko Media Remote by Eric Avina

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great, a must for streaming on Xbox.

We recently cut the cord in our house so the Netflix and Prime video is for us. We watch it a lot on the Xbox and get annoyed with having to turn on the controller every time it asks us if we're still watching or if we need a break in the show. At first we considered getting a Kinect so we could order it, but the price didn't seem worth it as we'll likely never get a game that needs it. We originally found a Microsoft branded remote that had some terrible reviews and was overpriced but this one came along and we've had many controllers and accessories from this brand over the years so we thought we'd give it a try, in less than 15 $ seemed like a good deal. Straight out of the box, with fresh batteries, we loved it. With no pairing or anything else, we turned on the Xbox, switched to Netflix and watched shows with no problem. It's about 8 feet from the couch to the Xbox and it works right out of the box with no lag. The ONLY issue we had is that when you pause it with the play/pause button it doesn't want to play with it either, so you have to click OK instead. Normally we just use OK anyway since it pauses and plays normally. We've used it on Prime Video, Netflix, and just for menu navigation. It also works pretty well on YouTube, except for the play button, but that's not even a problem and I still give it 5 stars.
