PDP Universal Gaming Media Remote Control for Xbox Series X|S with Motion Activated Backlight

I purchased this remote to leave on the coffee table to watch TV, and to make using the Xbox as a media server easier/more enjoyable for my wife. We both love it so far, just wish I didn't have to point it directly at my Xbox for it to work. Overall, very happy and would purchase again.

Volume skips around 6-8 per click and there's some weird stuff like sometimes my soundbar or TV won't turn on. The controller itself is good. It's very nice over having to use my controller and turning it on/off. The backlit keys are such a great feature. I just wished the Xbox worked as intended.

I've gone through two of the Talon remotes for my Xbox before finding this model. The backplate on the two Talon remotes snapped off but this model doesn't seem to have that issue. It's durable, minimalistic, and gets the job done easily. Well worth the price.

Good remote but with two cons. There is no dedicated next button, so you're forced to fast forward through things like songs or videos instead of just advancing to the next one in a playlist. The second is it seems to be a battery hog. Batteries only lasted two weeks and I'm not using cheap batteries either. Otherwise solid in build quality and value for sure.

The remote works very well on my 1st gen Xbox One. It has a good field of view(?) on the emitter, it sends signals at a high frequency so scrolling is smoother and the letter buttons allow you to enter text with much less hassle. The motion-activated backlight works well and is highly sensitive: if I can't find the remote in the dark, I just smack my coffee table and the keypad lights up if it's on there. My only gripe is that the battery cover is not held on securely and it periodically falls off, though the batteries do not fall out. If that cover had a more positive locking mechanism then I'd give a full 5 stars.

The controller works perfectly for my setup with an Xbox Series S connected to my TV and Sonos sound bar. The only inconvenience is that the volume up and down chance the volume by two steps instead of one no matter how light I press it. Also, the arrow keys are a bit harder to press than the others. Nonetheless, it's still a great purchase

Remote works perfectly with the XBOX Series S console. It's an improvement over a controller as the remote doesn't require you to turn it on and wait for it to connect. My only gripe is the direction arrows requires a hard press which lead to you having to guess where the button for up/down/left/right is located .

Right, d pad doesn't work.

The remote feels cheaper than the Xbox One version. The previous Xbox logo button is now just a sticker that comes off on the new button and the remote's backlight is less sensitive so you will fins yourself shaking the remote in the dark to see what you are doing. Fairly disappointing product.

The remote works, but not much thought was put into the button layout. The back button is too far from the directional and select button to use comfortably. The remote is also very narrow and the directional buttons are stiff and difficult to use.
