Is does everything one would expect and the best part of the remote is the ability to turn the Xbox on and off along with your TV and audio system together. The only thing I would change is being able to map some of the useless buttons like Guide beings that I don't use my Xbox One with cable. It would be great to be able to get a X function as well. Mixer is owned by Microsoft now and so toggling chat for full screen is impossible with the remote. One person found this helpful. Posted publicly. Translate to English.

If you use the Xbox One to control most of the media in your home, you are well aware of how clunky the standard gaming controller can be when trying to command other systems. If you're looking for an easier solution, you may want to consider a media remote for your Xbox One. We compiled a list of the best media remotes — both dedicated and universal — you can get to ensure you have a quality user experience every time you pick up that clicker. Dedicated Xbox remotes. PDP Talon Media Remote. The PDP Talon Media Remote control looks more like a universal remote than a dedicated Xbox remote, but it's designed to work with the Microsoft gaming and media system. Of course, all the standard buttons you'd find on any remote are here: play, pause, stop, rewind, fast-forward and menu. But it's quite a bit larger and has far more dedicated buttons than some of the other dedicated remotes. For example, a closed-captioning button will turn on subtitles with just a click. Like all Xbox remotes, this one still uses IR, so you will have to point it at your console for it to function. It has some limited TV control capabilities, but at around $20 it's a great option for those solely looking for a way to control their Xbox. It's probably the best you can buy. Gioteck MK1 Premium Media Remote. This remote from Gioteck has been designed with the Xbox One S in mind, matching its white paint job pretty closely. It's a fairly chunky, but still light remote, that packs a whole host of media features on the front. It's well laid out with rubber buttons and a fairly large D-Pad as well as all the important Xbox buttons, including ABXY. That's as well as the volume and program controls, and media playback buttons. But the Gioteck MK1 is like the mullet of media remotes: Business in the front, party out the back. Flip it over and you find a full QWERTY keyboard (though you need to attach a wireless dongle to your Xbox to use this) which is fantastic. It beats using an onscreen keyboard by a long way and is more convenient than having to reach for a controller with a chat pad attached. It's available in Europe for £25. In the U.S. a very similar remote can be had from Gamestop for $30. Microsoft Xbox One media remote. Directly from Microsoft, the Xbox One media remote is a small, matte black remote that has an easy-to-grip rubberized back. And when you pick it up, motion sensors immediately light up the buttons. The remote performs the essential functions you need to enjoy playback of your favorite media, such as pause, play, fast-forward, rewind and stop. The Xbox One Media remote can also turn Xbox One on and off with the shiny home button at the top. Thanks to the Xbox TV Guide feature, you can even control your cable box through the Xbox with this remote. Bringing up your channel list or casually flipping through channels is super simple and easy. It can even easily navigate streaming apps such as Netflix and Hulu. If you want to know more, check out our full review of the Microsoft Xbox One Media Remote or pick one up for around $20. Nyko media remote. Though it's a third-party remote, Nyko's media remote is dedicated for use with the Xbox One. It costs just a little more than the official Xbox One remote, ringing in at about $13.99. Slightly smaller and thinner than the Microsoft media remote, Nyko's looks a little more like a traditional remote control. The buttons are made of rounded rubber that protrudes from the face of the remote, giving this clicker a distinctly retro look. It's backlit, so finding the right controls while you're watching movies in the dark is easy. All the standard playback controls are present: you can play, pause, and fast-forward all your media at your leisure. The Home button will automatically take you back to the Xbox One home screen anytime you need it, and the menu button will bring up the disc menu on DVDs or Blu-rays. There are two buttons that Nyko's remote has that Microsoft's remote doesn't: a power button and an eject button. You may not think either of these is a big deal, but they each streamline regular processes with a single click. Universal remotes. Inteset universal IR learning remote. If you're looking for something that will control your Xbox One that also works with your other devices, the Inteset universal IR learning remote could be your best bet. The greatest thing about this remote is it comes preset to use with your Xbox One, which makes it incredibly easy to set up. Simply by pushing either the A, B, C or D buttons, you can set up the remote to function for Apple TV, Xbox One, Windows Media Center, and Roku respectively, making it easy to switch back and forth between devices. The Inteset remote also has the added benefit of having the red, green, yellow and blue buttons all correspond with the standard Xbox One color control buttons, which gives you the ability to do everything the stock gaming controller can when it comes to media playback. You can pick up the Inteset universal IR learning remote for $25 at Amazon. Logitech Harmony Elite remote. Logitech's Harmony Elite remote has a very modern design and is the current pinnacle of universal remotes. It's a bit bigger than the other remotes on our list, but it still fits comfortably in your hand. This is the perfect remote for people who truly want one remote for everything in their house, including the Xbox One, and it rings in at approximately $245. The first thing that stands out for the Harmony Elite is its touchscreen. Acting as the central hub, the touchscreen allows you to access all the different devices you have connected to the remote, making it easy to switch between using your Xbox One, cable box, Apple TV or any other device. One touch can turn on your TV, set the input, turn on the Xbox, and switch on your speaker system. It can even control your smart lights. The remote control has a rechargeable battery and charging dock, which is super convenient for topping off and keeping it from getting lost in the couch. But if you do lose it, no worries. With the remote's hub you can control everything through the Logitech's controller app on your phone (iOS and Android only, unfortunately). How do you control your Xbox One? Do you use a remote control for your Xbox One? Let us know which one in the comments. Updated November 24, 2017: We've shuffled around the order of our top picks and added the Gioteck MK1 Premium to the list. How to Control Your TV Volume And Power from the Xbox One.

Xbox One Media Remote: A must-have clicker to simplify the Xbox One. The Xbox One Media Remote is a must-have accessory that makes it much easier to accept a gaming console as the hub of your living room. by Matthew Moskovciak. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. Microsoft Xbox One Media Remote. Hot Products. Apple iPhone X. Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Google Home Mini. Google Pixel 2 XL. The Good The Xbox One Media Remote makes it much more convenient to watch TV and movies on the Xbox One. It feels well-made and includes backlighting that engages as soon as you pick it up. And used with the Kinect, it can control other devices in your living room, like your TV, sound bar, or AV receiver. The Bad Requires line-of-sight to the Xbox One console because it uses traditional IR control instead of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct. Doesn't make it any easier to access your DVR from the Xbox One. Some of the buttons' functions aren't immediately apparent. The Bottom Line The Xbox One Media Remote is a must-have accessory that makes it much easier to accept a gaming console as the hub of your living room. Review Sections. CNET Home Entertainment TV Accessories Xbox One Media Remote. In Microsoft's perfect world, the Xbox One Media Remote wouldn't exist. Everyone would be happy controlling the Xbox One using their voice or gestures, and remotes would be a relic of our TV-watching past. In reality, the Xbox One experience -- outside of the gaming realm -- can sometimes be a frustrating one . You have to give credit to Microsoft for recognizing that with the release of the Xbox One Media Remote (US$25/£20/AU$30). In reviewing the Xbox One's living room capabilities shortly after its launch, I wrote that it "cries out for a dedicated remote", and that's exactly what the Media Remote delivers, letting you do simple tasks like adjust the volume without using your voice or breaking out the controller. The small clicker is well-designed, with nice touches like a velvety texture and backlighting that turns on as soon as you pick it up. It can't completely fix all the Xbox One's living room shortcomings -- DVR control is still an issue -- but it makes it a much more tolerable conduit for your cable box. The Xbox One Media Remote may not be the remoteless future Microsoft envisioned, but it makes using the Xbox One fit into your living room a whole lot easier -- and that's well worth your $25. $25 may seem like a lot for an add-on remote, but the Media Remote feels particularly well-made. It had enough weight to feel substantial, without being heavy, and it's covered in a soft, textured finish that's pleasant to hold. Pick up the remote and its backlighting immediately kicks in, making it easy to see its buttons even when your living room is dim. The buttons on the Media Remote are unusually flat, raised ever-so-slightly above the front of the remote. Even the directional pad is just slightly recessed, except for the button in the center. Typically, remotes with such a relatively even surface is a bad sign, but there are enough subtle tactile cues that it's actually pretty easy to navigate without looking. The button rockers for volume and channel changing are large and centrally located and even the completely flush mute button in the center has a texture that lets you know it's there. While the remote's layout makes it easy to find buttons, knowing what the buttons actually do isn't always clear. Of the four buttons surrounding the directional pad, the back button is straightforward, but the other three aren't immediately obvious. Clockwise from the upper left, they're for "view," "menu," and "OneGuide," which is hard to tell from the abstract icons. Xbox gamers might have their functions memorized, but nongaming members of the household would have been better served by using the actual words. Hot Products. Apple iPhone X.
