Roku Voice Remote (Official) for Roku Players, Roku TVs and Roku Audio, black

1) Layout is GoodSo first of all this is a real Roku remote that's a perfect replacement for the remote that came with my TCL Roku TV. All the buttons are in the same place with two exceptions: The voice search button is added in between the back arrow and star button and the the preset buttons were arranged two rows of two instead of vertical. That said, this upgraded remote was made with a feel so similar to the original remote that I needed 0 time to become accustom to the new layout.2) False Advertising Regarding Preset ButtonsSo if you're like me, you see the blank preset buttons in the product photos, and think "finally, I'm rid of useless presets and can set my own." Nope! The four presets came loaded with Netflix, Parmount Plus, and two services that I don't have: Disney Plus and Apple TV. This what I hated most about the original remote which had a preset for Amazon Prime and Netflix, but also included Sling and CBS News (seriously it did) which I didn't have. Roku, let me choose presets when ordering the remote if I can't set them myself instead of sending me remotes with the presets apparently randomly chosen!3) Pairing was EasyI'm the type who reads the instructions, but they were short and simple. Go to the Roku home screen. Put the batteries in, and press the pairing button located in the battery compartment until the indicator light in the battery compartment flashes green. I didn't even get to pressing the pairing button. As soon as the batteries in, the indicator starting flashing, and the word "pairing" started flashing on my TCL Roku TV. Within seconds I had a second working Roku remote (and the other one continues to work too so I can use either now).4) Voice search worksI was a little concerned that this feature wouldn't work well given the inexpensive price, but it does! I can request to open a particular Roku App like Amazon Prime or Youtube, but I am also able to use voice to navigate around inside of an App. So for example, 1) I was able to use the voice feature to go to Netflix, and then open a particular show inside of Netflix; and 2) I was able to use voice to go to Youtube, and then specifically request by voice to open my Watch Later list. Oh... and you can search out a particular show from the home menu with voice so you can simply say "House of the Dragon" and it will pull up options to watch it.Overall:I was disappointed by the presets were pre-populated, but at least Roku didn't stick CBS News on one of them this time. I was surprised at how well the voice function works as it makes finding programs so much easier. Overall, this is worth the relatively inexpensive price to upgrade your Roku experience, and I really wish I had seen a mention sooner that Roku voice remotes existed.

Great remote, easy to pair, has voice to speak for easy searches! Definitely recommend!

Great remote. Worked as intended.

It has volume control, which is a great add to a basic Roku remote. The only nits: it uses a lot of bttery power, I'd recommend using a rechargeable (AA), with a pair charged and ready when the first team is insufficient. The second nit is that it works alongside your TV's remote control if you have a Roku soundbar, as I do. That means that you'll get echo if both volumes are up simultaneously, though I could be technically deficient and missing something! This also has four pre-set streaming service which - I read this - you cannot change. For instance, mine has Netflix, Disney, Apple, and Hulu, and I presently only have 2 of those. However, in addition, there are two other buttons that you can program to open up your two other favorite streaming services.The other great upgrade is the headphone jack, and it comes with earbuds, purple, but those can fall off as one of mine did, to the netherworld of my "stuff." Fortunately, others work fine.On the questionable area is that the batteries seem to wear down uber fast. While the experts don't typically recommend using rechargeable in TV remotes, this one may be an exception.

I have an older Roku 3 Model 4200 that came with an IR-Remote. I wanted to move up to this WiFi-Remote with voice recognition.Initially, This new WiFi-remote would not "Pair" to my Roku-3 using the basic instructions that came in the box. I had to go through some additional procedures but in the end, i got it to work and it works great.If you are having a "pairing" problem, give this a try. NOTE: this only works if you still have your older remote... if you are replacing a lost remote (meaning you dont currently have a remote) then this procedure wont work...Look at your Roku for its Model number (not just Roku 2 or 3 etc, but the actual model number). Then Go to Wikipedia, search for the Roku wiki page, find your model number, then look under the column titled "Remote" and check that it says "WiFi". If it only says "IR" then this new WiFi Remote may-not work for you.Procedure to Pair the Remote to Roku player...1. Power on the Roku and TVNote that scrolling through screens as i describe below might be different on your Roku so just focus on finding the "Settings" and "Advanced settings" and "Remote" screens.2. Using your OLD Remote... Scroll to "Settings" > "Advanced Settings" > "Add Devices" > "Remotes", and make sure that the checkbox for "Add remotes" is checked. If box is checked then go to Step-3 (below). If box is NOT checked, then scroll to that check-box, hit the Select button to check that box. Then REBOOT your Roku and go to Step-3...Note: (no batteries in new remote just yet).3. Using your old IR remote, head to Settings, then Remotes (some boxes say Devices first, then Remotes) then Add a new remote.4. Insert the batteries in your new Remote and then hold down the Pairing button for five seconds until green-light flashes (i did-not have to Hold the button down... the remote began flashing and went into pairing-mode the instant that i inserted the batteries). Within 10 seconds my Roku-player and remote paired-up and the new Remote was fully useable (FYI...the old remote will still work).If the above doesnt work for you, try rebooting your Roku one more time. If that doesnt work then there is another issue you will need to search for.
