Best version of remote
Best Xbox one remote out there. I Bought this September 2024 and the only reason I'm replacing is because I've lost the darn thing. The buttons aren't hard for me to push, the batteries last a long while before having to change them out. It goes with standard or recharge batteries. When trying to replace my lost one, I ordered the solar chargeable new version it never worked right out of the box. I charged it twice and still never worked. Then I went back to the reviews and changed the settings to newest reviews, a LOT of people had the dead remotes sent to them. I returned the newer model next day. I will just stay with the proven working model. It works my tv volume and all menu functions. Best Xbox series remote out to date. ... show more

Must be line of site
Ah, the classic tale of "shoulda, woulda, coulda" and the perils of skipping those crucial reviews. I, too, have been a victim of this particular brand of tech-related disappointment. It seems I've joined the ranks of those who fell prey to the allure of this Xbox remote, only to discover its infrared limitations. Let's cut to the chase: this remote is a perfectly functional piece of equipment. It does what it says on the box, providing a comfortable and convenient way to navigate your Xbox. The buttons are responsive, the layout is intuitive, and it feels sturdy in the hand. If you're looking for a basic, reliable remote for your Xbox, this will certainly do the job. However, and this is a big "however," the reliance on infrared technology is a major drawback. In the age of Bluetooth and wireless connectivity, needing a clear line of sight to your Xbox feels downright archaic. It's like being transported back to the days of clunky VCR remotes and meticulously aimed signals. Imagine this: you're snuggled up on the couch, blanket draped just so, ready to binge-watch your favorite show. You reach for the remote, only to realize that your strategically placed throw pillow is now obstructing the infrared signal. Cue a frantic readjustment of pillows, blankets, and possibly your entire living room furniture arrangement. If this remote had been Bluetooth-enabled, it would have been an absolute game-changer. The freedom to control your Xbox from any angle, without worrying about line of sight, would have elevated this product from "good" to "exceptional." So, while I can't fault the remote's functionality, I can't help but feel a pang of regret for not heeding the warnings of those who came before me. If you're okay with the limitations of infrared, this remote is a solid choice. But if you crave the freedom of wireless control, you might want to look elsewhere. Lesson learned: always read the reviews, folks. Your throw pillows will thank you. ... show more

The best Xbox media remote out there.
Review Image by Ryan
This Xbox media remote from PDP is the best one I have tried, out of the four remotes I've gone through. What the first three remotes had in common was poor transmitting. My Xbox Series X had to be within an unobstructed line-of-sight just for the console to register my presses and inputs for all of them and it drove me crazy. I'd be sitting on the couch moving my arm around and pointing the remote in different positions just for them to work. Made me feel like I was trying to flag down a cab ride. This remote for the Series X doesn't make me do any of that! It works for me just like my TV and soundbar remotes do, no flexibility required! I enabled HDMI-CEC and now the PDP remotes controls everything without needing the separate remotes. It had a nice, premium feel and the buttons don't feel mushy like other remotes I've had. The buttons are also backlit and illuminate automatically when you move the remote. I'm also happy that it doesn't have a thousand unnecessary buttons like the older PDP model remote but still keeps the A, B, X, Y which I'm very appreciative of. I only have two complaints. The first being the positioning of the back button, which they moved more towards the bottom of the remote instead of next to the navigation wheel like it should be. My last complaint, is that pressing the mute button behaves almost like it's being pressed in rapid succession. My soundbar will mute and unmute even though I have only pressed it once. Sometimes it takes 4-5 presses for it to properly stay muted, which is an issue I have experienced with 3 out of the 4 remotes I've had, not exclusive to this Series X remote. I have read some reviews that mention an issue where the battery cover comes off easily but have not experienced that myself. Overall I think this media remote is excellent and well worth the money for the reliable IR transmitting alone. Mine arrived with a light scratch near the top, as I had to purchase mine in "used - very good" condition from the Amazon Warehouse. These are hard to find right now for some reason, so I wish everyone good luck in getting your hands on the PDP Xbox Series X media remote! ... show more

Better than expected, albeit with limited use so far.
UPDATE: One remote works more consistently than the other. Chalk that up to luck of the draw/general production/QC challenges, which, based on how many people have similar issues with their remotes, suggests to me that the manufacturer COULD have a solid product if/would tighten up processes. Redesign would be a benefit, too, to address commonly noted layout issues, and perhaps add a couple of features that I, and others, have noted, which would make this a superior product. Agree with others in many reviews: -the back button IS poorly located. -the buttons, in particular the centered "D-pad" arrangement, DOES require a good amount of press, DOESN'T respond consistently. Outside of my already noted lack of specific design/feature considerations, the two issues I've agreed with from other reviews, stand out as the most glaring shortcomings. Button location is workable, by retraining one's brain and muscle memory, but the concave D-pad button arrangement is a deal breaker, since this is the way the on-screen "curser" navigates for much/most of what is done with the remote. To that end, I'm sending back the one remote of our initial pair, and re-entering the remote lottery with fingers crossed that our draw is a winner. Time will tell... ----------------- Bought two remotes as one of us uses our multiple Xboxes for streaming — which as a side note, if you're not doing with a "smart" TV instead allowing the TV to handle processing, you're probably missing out unless your TV/monitor is of the highest tier. BTW, I'd give this 4.5 stars if Amazon would amend the 20% star value. Too imprecise for in-depth analysis and reporting....but I digress. Back to reviewing remotes! I expected these to need pairing; they don't. I simply chose one of our Xbox/TV set-ups, put (2) AAA batteries into the remote, and pressed the big X toward the top of the remote. Boom! The in-room XboxOne-S powered right up! Oh yeah – the backlight immediately came on, although it isn't illuminated for very long. Imagine that was set to account for battery drain, but it does have a short enough "on" time that I pretty soon found myself wiggling the remote as I began to play with its button layout and functionality. FWIW, I wasn't even aiming the remote right at the Xbox, but as the remote is IR and NOT tethered, the degree to which the remote needs to point directly at an Xbox is impacted by room layout variables. In my case, I guess the IR signal was able to bounce clearly enough to be seen by the Xbox's forward facing IR receiver. Took the batteries out of that remote, placed them into the second remote, and immediately began to navigate using the remote's keys. Same as the first remote: backlight is on immediately, and the receiver's response was consistently reflected on-screen. I did take one of the remotes into a different room to test it out with a Xbox Series X setup. Same result. Mash the remote's big X and the console's big X lit-up in response. Sweet. It just works! SOOO...in my experience, the PDP universal remote was fully functional with no more than adding batteries. If I'm going to nitpick, here's a couple of items that would improve the remote's functionality: – afford a way to adjust the motion-sensitive backlight on/off time. It is a bit brief, IMO. Perhaps that will lessen with becoming more familiar with the remote layout, but for early users, or those who struggle with muscle-memory, the MUCH APPRECIATED backlight could use a bit more "on" time. As this is, apparently, a MS-licensed product, it would be great if the console could "see" the media remote and allow scalable functions via on-screen GUI, exactly as Xbox consoles do with the controller. Perhaps that direct tethering is required for that level of access? – rechargeable battery, ideally something with higher mAh, say like a 18650 cell? Clearly the remotes would also need the appropriate port and internal circuitry to accommodate recharging functions, and that would add to/raise the pricing. Could be that those considerations were part of the design process and left on the table to balance function and pricing, and to keep the remote at a lower price point. – this is the "big" one for me: add a headphone jack. I use that feature on my standard Xbox controller A LOT. Some times it's while gaming online, so of course that keeps my corded headphone/mic arrangement close, and powered, but there are times when someone is asleep, or it's late enough that I'd have to jack up volume on a system audio device far too high to clearly and cleanly hear audio, whether game or streaming something. Adding a headphone jack would be another reason to move to a different battery arrangement, IMO. Bottom line, feeling good about the PDP "officially licensed" Xbox One/Series X/S media remote control, although I did receive the package and test them out only yesterday. If I find that over time, buttons fail, graphics rub off, the remote just stops working, etc, I'll amend my review. ... show more

Don’t listen to the nay sayers
I’ve had a remote a week. As long as your Xbox front panel (where the with logo-light is) faces you, the IR remote works perfectly. I read all of the negative reviews and honestly almost did not buy it but then thought how wrong can you go at this price. It does what it should do - navigate Netflix and Prime when I want to only stream and not play or when my wife wants to operate the Xbox for that reason. Anybody complaining about quality is either too rough on it, or simply wants to find fault. I don’t give it five because I need RT to login into my account and can’t do that from this remote. So at startup I have to use my Xbox controller to login and from there this remote. Secondly, it would have been nice if this was a wireless and not IR remote, but that would just be opulent. Update: Figures out Xbox accepts RT or Play/Pause - thus can login using this remote. ... show more

Simplified video controller for Xbox.
This is a great controller for watching videos on the Xbox One. While using the game controller somebody always presses the wrong button for pause and stops playback or exits the video player. Some videos don’t pickup where you left off and have to fast forward back to the scene you were on. Nope, not with this controller. The buttons are laid out and labeled in a typical fashion for video controls. Hopefully no one presses the wrong button on it. It won’t work well for gaming, it’s a few buttons shy and has no motion sense other than to light up the buttons when you pick it up or wave it. Works with streaming apps and even has volume control. ... show more

Buttons are mushy and hard to press.
This was just on sale for 9.99 and while I was aware of some of the issues it had beforehand (back button placement, battery cover locking mechanism is trash, finicky line of sight) I was willing to bite because of it being half off. Well I just got this remote and already feel as though I've wasted my money. As my title says, the buttons, or rather the main arrow/select navigation buttons are mushy as heck, I have to press way harder to actually register a press than on any other remote I've ever used in my life. I went to check a few reviews to see if I'm the only one who has this issue, and one of the top reviews mentions buttons are "not very mushy, not stiff at all" as if trying to laughably and without subtlety brush off what are definite flaws with this remote. It is incredibly mushy, don't trust that top review that says otherwise. It also makes it harder than it should be to distinguish between what button you might press, I feel as though using it that I'll accidentally press theup button instead of the confirm button as there is only barely noticeable indentations to feel what button you are on without looking. To make things even worse, this remote doesn't even control my volume for my Logitech Z5500 sound system. To be fair, not many remotes do, but some do (like the fire tv remote, even though I don't even have my fire tv hooked up to my tv, so cec isn't enabling that function, it's just built into the remote), but this doesn't, and it's rather disappointing (and yeah, I've enabled all the right settings on my xbox for this to work, it just doesn't). I'm going to use it moreI would be pretty angry if I had paid 20 bucks for this. Look elsewhere for another remote, this one isn't it, I feel like I wasted my money at even 10 dollars. I can't comment on their older remotes quality, but this one is just bad PDP, next time make your navigation buttons out of actual clicky buttons, not mushy, hard to press rubber. ... show more
