Amaz247 ARC101 Standard IR Replacement Remote for Roku 1, Roku 2, Roku 3, Roku 4 (HD, LT, XS, XD), Roku Express, Roku Premiere, Roku Ultra; DO NOT Support Roku Stick or Roku TV

The media could not be loaded. The reason I put the date in my headline is because you have to know I just got that thing If there is a mistake in this review please forgive me I am dictating it from my iPhoneI have a Roku 4 and I love the remote although I think they sold us out with those weird buttons at the bottom that nobody ever uses to go directly to apps I think it’s a waste of time but that’s another storyI dropped my Roku remote about a month ago and the back came off so that I constantly had to hold it together with my hand and occasionally it would fall apart and the batteries would fall out and I know I need a replacementThis thing was under $10. When it arrived in the mail promptly I was very nervous because it had no paring buttonLong story short I turned on my Roku and used this remote which I had to put batteries into - in a minute it picked up on my Roku and works like a absolute charm.It seems to pick it up usually no matter where I am although if you’re in the direction the general direction of your Roku it’s probably better – there they are missing that bottom button underneath the directional keys so you have to get used to hitting the OK button in the middle of the directional keys which initially annoyed me and then I grew used to it within a few daysOther than that and the lack of the headphone jack which I rarely used this is an absolutely fantastic replacement for the price in fact I would say for the price it’s even above and beyond doing what I thought it would do and is doing the trick until I can afford to just simply replace it with the proper remote – I highly highly highly recommend this remote control as it really does the job beautifully at least on my Roku 4. It’s smaller than the other remote and not as slick or shiny and smooth to the touch but it does the trick and whatever problem you have with that I suspect you get over in about three days once you get used to it I really am impressed with this little $10 remote control replacement I’m really shocked at how well it works

I have a newer model Roku. Specifically, a Roku 4K Ultra HD (Model No.: 4400R). The deluxe Roku multiple function (e.g., voice search, remote pairing, and head phone jack) remote Control that came with my Roku stopped working. I reviewed possible replacements on Amazon for my Roku Control. I saw Amazon's version of Roku's basic function infrared remote control device (e.g., no voice search, no remote pairing requirement, or head phone jack) and thought I'd gamble $9.98 to see if it would work with my Roku. Although, the Amazon version of the infrared Roku remote control has limited functions like Roku's infrared remote control (e.g., no voice search, no pairing button to synch with the Roku, and no head phone jack). However, I was pleasantly surprised that the Amazon version of the basic function infrared Roku remote control works flawlessly with my Roku 4. In contrast, I found that I don't necessarily have to point the Amazon remote control directly at the infrared window on my Roku and I can be across the room and the Amazon remote works very well. My best guess is that customers who claim that they have to be in close proximity of their Roku unit to get the Amazon remote to work may have weak batteries in the unit or there is an obstruction between the Amazon remote and the infrared window of their Roku unit. In summation, the Amazon Amaz247 ARC101 Standard IR Replacement Remote,basic black with Netflix, Amazon, Sling TV, and Hulu Buttons, is the best $9.98 that I've ever spent. Moreover, with my Amazon Prime Membership, I was able to purchase the Amazon version of the basic function infrared Roku remote control for less than half the price of the basic function infrared Roku remote control; including, free shipping and handling. THANKS AMAZON!

worked as a great replacement

The original remote that came with my Roku Ultra died within months. I was able to download the Roku app on my smart phone and continue using the Roku unit without a hitch. Then I decided I needed a faster Internet router and... oops! Not only was my Roku unit unable to find the new router's signal but now my smart phone's app fails to interact with the Roku Ultra unit at all. Dead in the water! I talked to a tech at Best Buy and he pointed out that Amazon had replacement remotes. I ordered this one, popped AAA batteries in it and BINGO! I have full use of all my Roku Ultra's settings and was connecting with my new router on less than a minute! I'm very happy with this purchase. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is we'll see if it lasts more than a few months like the Roku original did!

Does this work? Yes, but barely. That, and the fact that it was cheap, is the good news. Here's the bad:At first I thought it was completely non-functional. I tested the batteries, and they were in the lower end of the normal range, so I put in new ones. Then it worked ... just enough to say that it works.Compared to the original, it's crap.If your device is aimed directly at the remote, and vice-versa, and the remote has brand new batteries, and the two devices are only 3-4 feet apart, you can get it to do something. But one quick click might move the setting on the screen one place ... or it might move it two spaces. I didn't buy it to play a video game where I have to go back and forth to find the target. Beyond that, there's not a very good tactile reference for the control buttons, so it's not easy to tell, "by feel", where your fingers are on which buttons. There's also no voice control feature like on the original.This is a temporary fix for me. It's so bad that I'm going to look for another one to buy until my original shows up from behind, or underneath, or wherever it found to hide.
