Voice Remote Pro (2nd Ed.), TV Remote Control with Backlit Buttons

I bought this Roku Voice Remote Pro as a replacement and quickly appreciated the backlit buttons, especially when I am watching TV with the room lights low. The voice controls are useful for finding programs without typing long searches, and the lost remote finder has already made it easier to locate the remote between cushions. Pairing it with my Roku setup was straightforward, and the buttons have a comfortable layout for everyday use. I have owned it for several months and it has worked reliably. Because it is rechargeable, I do need to remember to keep it charged, but I prefer that to replacing disposable batteries. The remote feels like a worthwhile upgrade for a Roku TV or player that gets regular use.

I honestly didn't think I’d get this excited about a TV remote, but the Roku Voice Remote Pro has been a total game-changer for my setup. The biggest win for me is the rechargeable battery. I was so tired of constantly hunting for AA batteries whenever the old remote died, especially right when I was finally sitting down to relax after a long shift. Being able to just plug it in with a USB-C cable is such a relief. Plus, the backlighting is a lifesaver, it’s so nice not to have to fumble around in the dark to find the right button. The hands-free voice control actually works really well, too. It’s super convenient to just say "Hey Roku" when I’ve lost the remote in the couch cushions or when I just don’t feel like clicking through menus. If there’s one downside, it’s that it doesn't have the headphone jack that the older version had for private listening, so you'll have to use the app on your phone if you need to keep things quiet. But honestly, for how much easier it makes my nightly routine, it’s been well worth the upgrade.

We got tired of constantly changing batteries. The original remote just ate them up. I finally decided to spend the money for this rechargeable version. It's much nicer. The charge really lasts. It's a slimmer remote and you can control it by voice, if you want. It was easy to set up and all the controls are basically the same. It's so much more enjoyable and convenient to not have to jump up and change the batteries - especially if you're in the middle of a show. These things are always expensive, but the Amazon price was the best. So with the gas savings and saving on buying batteries in bulk, it was reasonable deal.

Lost the remote to my Roku so I got this. I love it. The battery lasts a very long time. And paired effortlessly to a 6 or 7 ish??? Year old Roku. Works just as it should. It’ll give a warning when it’s getting low on battery. I use this in my room so when it gets low I just plug it in to my phone charger when I leave for work in the morning. Type c charger.

It works absolutely great, until it doesn't. The first year we were best friends and now just finding where to point it is almost impossible. Sometimes it works if you point it at the device, sometimes it works if you point it at the ceiling, sometimes it doesn't work at all even with 100% charge. I'm beyond frustrated and hate to spend that amount of money just to replace. The volume works all of the time, but the buttons on the front just have a mind of their own after a certain length of time over a year. It's not like I can't afford a remote every year, but I shouldn't have to. The back lit feature is amazing. It works 100% of the time. It never fails. It just seems to be the communication between the remote and the device that works 50% of the time. If you don't mind replacing it every year, I 100% recommend this remote. But be forewarned that it does not have a long life.

So, I’ve been a long-time Roku fan, and have multiple older Ultra units that have the remote built like a tank. Unfortunately, one of the tanks finally bit the dust after years of abuse (dropping on floor, tossing onto couch and then bouncing onto floor, and more). At first I was disappointed to see that I really couldn’t get a like replacement for the tank remotes we have, but decided to give this a go. I was also liking but skeptical of the rechargeable battery, as I’m tired of managing a AA battery depot, but rechargeable kinda locks you in. After about a month in, I’ve been very happy with the remote: - Although the remote is light, it has a great “feel” to it, and gives you an impression of a quality component - The tactile response from the buttons is fantastic. If the button clicks, it means it will work. - I’ve charged it once since the initial purchase (~2 months ago), and I only did that because it just seemed wrong not to. This is the remote used in our main room, and more-or-less gets used by 3-4 people constantly for 10-12 hours a day. That’s some serious battery life (again, I’m guessing it would have gone for quite a while longer before needing to charge it) - The backlighting is just that feature you never knew you needed and now wish you’d always had. Yes, this is a first-world issue. - The voice command feature actually works pretty well, although I turn it off because I don’t need anything else accidentally listening to me. I love the fact that this is a hardware switch and not something easily/accidentally toggled on/off. - The launch button is a nice touch if you don’t use the pre-programmed remote buttons for which the various streaming companies paid. - Easily controls the Samsung TVs we have, as expected, and the same tactile response is there for the side volume controls (up/down/mute) Others in the house are sold on the remote, and actually want me to proactively replace the others in the house (verdict is out on that one!)

Great product. It's already helped me find itself more than once. Very handy feature. Initially I was sad that the voice control is on the side the volume control. But it's works fine especially with the voice activated. Price was reasonable would order again

I don't usually like writing reviews but I am happy to write this one. I love this remote control! With my old one I had to fumble in the dark finding which key I wanted with the glow in the dark buttons I can find what I need instantly. It is rechargeable so I do not have to worry about batteries. Very easy to set up and that is something big for me. And it is a great value for the money. I would most definitely recommend this item.

Es el segundo control que compro para mi Roku TV. El primero fue el control remoto por voz normal, el que usa pilas y no tiene ninguna función extra además del micrófono. Este control es la segunda versión del Voice Remote Pro (que por suerte no compré en su momento) y es mejor en todo: El tamaño es casi como el del control básico, un poco más robusto pero nada grande. Tiene botones retroiluminados que se activan cuando mueves el control y se apagan después de unos segundos si no hay movimiento. El mío viene con acceso directo a Roku, lo que paradójicamente no he visto en otros controles. Se empareja bastante fácil y rápido comparado con los otros controles. El puerto de carga es USB-C. El único detalle es que el botón de inicio rápido no funciona, aunque estimo que es problema del software de la TV. En general, es el mejor control de Roku, tiene todo lo que necesitarías.

Easy to setup works fine

Yo tenía un control que funcionaba con baterías AAA, el sólo hecho de ser recargable me desquita su precio. También tiene mejor comunicación y rango de operación.

Great little remote, no need for a separate remote for the TV

Works fine with my Roku Express 4K box in the UK and lights up nicely when moved. I expected to be able to play sound through bluetooth earphones via the remote like you can with the wired version but unfortunately not, it has to go via the Roku app on a phone/tablet. A bit pricey though, presumably due to shipping and customs costs as it comes from the US where it seems to sell for $30
