This remote is much better than the PDP remote. If you're like me and have a pin number to unlock your profile(so kids don't purchase things without consent), this remote will allow you to enter the 6 digit pin.Also, the remote doesn't have to be pointed directly at the console in order for it to read inputs. Can't ask for much more than these two things.

Great remote for the XsX and XsS, very convenient. Helps save controller batteries. Has all the buttons you need to do most functions. Recommend

Folks I love the Remote and makes it easier to surf around while watching Hulu and such from my Xbox instead of using my game controller. But the one issue I have with it, is that unlike my controller it needs a clear line of sight to the Xbox to work. So it can sometimes be annoying to make a conscious effort to point it at the system when I want to use it. But other than that I can't complain.

Good size remote. I love the backlight. I have to be in line of sight of the XBox Series S like an old TV but that's fine. I am very happy with this thing. I stream and download with this. Definitely worth the money
This remote is great to ise if you regularly use your Xbox for media playback. It works great both for Plex and for Blu rays, much better than your regular Xbox controller.
This is an excellent remote for the xbox. It has backlit buttons which is a really nice plus. The build quality is also very good. The one downside is that is that uses infrared instead of RF to communicate with the xbox, so the remote does have to be pointed at it. This does help for longer battery life, but also annoying bc it physically has to be pointed at the xbox. Also, because it is infrared, there is no pairing. Just put in batteries and you are good to go.
Really great to have use of a remote other than the regular console controller. I would give this a 4.5/5 instead if 5 because it doesn’t always have immediate responses & lags reading button presses at times.
Battery life is terrible, any small microscopic tremor sets off the LED lights which causes the batteries to be drained. Great feature poor implementation.
The lights trigger constantly which drains the battery. I'm talking put cup down on table the turn on, cat farts they turn on. Was replacing batteries every 2 months. Stopped using it.
This remote is a lot better than Insignia NS-XB14KRMT Media Remote. The responsiveness of 8bitdo remote seems quite a bit better and it has the capability to connect to more then just your Xbox. I've had it a bit longer than 1 month. So far I'd say pretty sold quality with no issues as of right now.
