8BitDoMedia Remote for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S (Short Edition, Infrared Remote)

I needed smtg to turn on and off my xbox because I wanted to get rid of all the remotes I had. It also saves up battery life on my controllers! The remotes lights up for like 5 seconds which is really useful at night. Comes with batteries and when I got it, it automatically connected to my xbox without any problems! The only thing was I needed an IR extender because I don’t have a kinect but all in all great product!

Se lo compré a mis papás para que lo usaran en el Xbox como un control de televisión; ahora con ese ven TV de cable y todas las apps de streaming. Muy recomendado por el precio.

Some reviewers have said you have to point this directly at the TV. I don't have to do that with the Xbox Series X console. I can point it at the living room ceiling and it still controls the Xbox.Some reviewers have said that it doesn't control the TV volume. That might be the way they have things set up. I have a my soundbar hooked up to my TV, and the remote volume keys work just fine with the soundbar turned on.Some reviewers say that the media forward, backward, skip, etc. buttons do not work but they work for me just fine when I stream YouTube on the Xbox. So I'm not sure if they only work for certain apps and not others. I have not tried it with the Amazon Music app or Tube app yet, but I suspect it will work just fine.All in all this is a great remote.Pros:1. Well made, nice pebble plastic feel to buttons and case. Definitely not cheap.2. Responsive keys, with a good click feel.3. Guide button (below the B key) , which can be programmed for various functions, not just the guide.4. Buttons light up when you lift the remote, and fade out after a few seconds, which is just the right amount of time.5. Saves batteries on XBox controller since you are not using it for streaming, just for games.6. Battery cover slides off and on nicely, with a nice click when closed.Cons:1. The home (Xbox) button looks nice, but does not light up. But it's large and white so you can't miss it.2. The home (Xbox) button feels more like rubber. Since it does not light up like the other keys, it would have been nice if the button was the same material. But it does stand out with the glossy raised surface.Glad I chose this remote!

Si activas el nec de la tv si enciende juntos el xbox y la tv. No funciona con juegos solo con apps de video. Fuondiona para la Xbox S, no es necesario emparejar ni apuntar directamente a la Xbox. En algunas tv si sube el volumen. Me pareció una buena compra.

**Editted - the IR receiver on my Xbox was broken and needed replaced. This remote is awesome. Great IR blaster and works from anywhere in my room even when not pointed towards the Xbox. The remote also has better button layout and clickiness than the PDP remote. I will be returning the PDP remote instead.** Prior review - Motion buttons work well but the remote itself will not direct the Xbox as desired. I have a One S and it does not register any commands from this remote. Will try again but likely will return this.
