Good remote in terrible package
This remote works very well with my two Roku Ultra LT boxes and two different Samsung TVs. I stopped watching cable TV 25 years ago and OTA TV 10 years ago. The main source of news for me is now YouTube and Rumble on Roku. To limit the exposure to obnoxious and tasteless advertisements, I use the mute button that is located on the side of the remote and close my eyes for about 5-10 seconds before checking again. This remote has the mute button that works perfectly with my TVs and I could not be happier.I consider the original Roku Ultra LT wireless remote (with alkaline batteries and a built-in connector for headphones) absolutely the best because I can watch TV when my wife has a teleconference and I can replace batteries immediately, without waiting for the device to be recharged. Unfortunately, one of those LT remotes stopped working and I could not find exactly the same (non-rechargeable) replacement. The second best remote for stand-alone Roku players is, in my opinion, a device that uses line-of-sight infrared (IR) signal and sends correct IR codes to TV-s to mute sound or adjust its volume. Obviously, such a remote will not accept headphones but no pairing will be required to make it work. This remote is exactly what I was looking for.One important warning. This remote is very poorly packaged by the manufacturer. The remote is not put in a rigid box for protection; everything is shoveled into a zipper bag. Unsurprisingly, the first remote I ordered arrived with the IR window chipped. The replacement arrived without this defect but no batteries were present in the plastic bag. The bag was slightly opened and I guess batteries slid out of the bag somewhere. This is not a good customer experience. I did not want to initiate the second replacement request so I used my own AAA batteries.The remote is very easy to program for a specific TV. This is done in two steps:* First, press a combination of two buttons: the power button plus some other button described in the attached instructions for your TV brand (Samsung TVs are supported by the device but Samsung is not mentioned in the Amazon product description). A small hole next to the power button is not a microphone but a tiny LED. After 2 seconds, this LED should be lit continuously.* Next, you need to press the blue “OK” button to complete programming. It appears that this configuration procedure needs to be performed only once. No need to repeat those steps after batteries are replaced.The remote has a less rounded profile and it is less comfortable to hold than the original Roku device. The remote is remarkably light. The battery cover is quite thin. I hope the device will hold up somehow. I am not a fan of dedicated shortcut buttons on Roku remotes. I prefer not to have this feature because I accidentally press those buttons from time to time. The “source” button pops up a menu on my Samsung TV and there is not way to get rid of this menu, except for turning off the TV set.

First batteries didn’t work, then not compatible with TV
I purchased a new remote because I wanted to control the volume and mute from the Roku remote instead of the TV remote. Well…when I first tried to pair the new remote with the ROKU device, it wouldn’t work. As many people mentioned, the instructions that came with the remote were inadequate. So I read reviews and watched YouTube videos to try and figure it out. I had no luck. After much frustration, I decided to switch out the batteries that came with the new remote for a fresh pair. Voila! The remote lights started flashing. Then, although I don’t know exactly what combination of buttons I pressed (they weren’t the buttons suggested on the leaflet), I finally got the remote to pair. However, the volume controls didn’t work. So I went through the steps of trying to find a code that worked with my TV. I think I went through at least 60 codes! Sadly, none of them worked. Very disappointed to say the least with the setup instructions (or shall I say lack thereof), and the fact that the batteries sent with the remote were already dead. I want the last hour of my life back!! 🙂

Product works great; instructions unclear, but customer service terrific.
Product did not work for me right away for Roku 3. Instructions were not clear that (1) first put in default mode, (2) press left arrow and home button [to which there is no reaction or feedback], and then (3) program it to the TV. I assumed it would work after the arrow/home button, but it will not. Has to be programmed to TV. They way to reach customer service is through the help box if you go to Amazon, orders, and then the product. Get past the AI/virtual attempt to help, and there is an option to contact seller. Note these options appear on PC, but not iPad for some reason. Then, I contacted them again for the instructions to program other buttons, which they sent me. But very easy: Hulu+source (bottom buttons) for 5 seconds and light goes green. Push button you want to program, and light goes red. Then put nose to nose with TV remote control and press the button on the TV control. Light then goes green. That means it is still in program mode and you can proceed immediately to other programming. Worked perfectly. So my rating is that the product is great, but the instructions are confusing. Customer service is terrific, but it is not clear at all how to contact them. Good luck!

Check it fits your TV! NOT universal
This came nicely packaged with batteries & instructions. Some don’t. Yes it fits about every Roku device. BUT it doesn’t work on AOC TV..so it’s NOT Universal. Works on about 7 TVs. Really like the extra channel buttons but……Returned
