PDP Media Remote Microsoft Xbox one and Series XIS

Unsure why people are having trouble with this. Sure, you need to enable CEC on your Xbox and ensure your TV supports it too, buts that’s a given surely? EDIT: you need to remember this remoteness line of sight to your Xbox. And if you’re using an HDMI switcher ensure it supports CEC. The one I use supports it on port 1 only. When I turned the remote on my Xbox even warned me to change the settings. I’ve tried it with an Xbox One S, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X and each worked first time. My only gripes are as follows, I am being picky and they’re not enough to stop me using it but I hope the manufacturers read these and improve the remote.. - The buttons, especially the centre wheel, haptics could be better ie: it’s hard to feel which button yiure touching with feel alone - The buttons, again especially the wheel, require quite a hard press - Occasionally my button presses aren’t detected but I am unsure if it’s above mentioned hard press that is needed or my TV/Xbox misbehaving. - Because you have to press the buttons quite hard I’ve had the battery cover slide off due to the force - it’s not massive force you need, but after continual presses I think the cover worked loose.

Brilliant remote. Works out of the box, no additional accessories required. Good build quality. Good range. Has all the functions needed to control the Xbox. Lights come on when you move or shake it so it’s easy to see the buttons in a dark environment when watching a movie. Volume/mute buttons don’t work apparently you need a Kinect connected to the TV for that so, I still need to use the TV remote to control the volume. Other than that it’s just perfect for controlling Amazon Prime, BBC iplayer, YouTube, Netflix, etc. very happy with it and would recommend.

Worked straight out the box and the build quality seems decent, but a couple of the directional inputs/buttons aren't as responsive as the rest of the buttons on the remote. Personally I would still use a controller but the remote is more user-friendly for the wife so it's been a worthwhile purchase.

Remote feels initially to be of good quality. Line of sight issues or range issues described in other reviews don’t really seem to be an issue - point it at your Xbox and it works, it’s pretty straight forward. The issue I have lies with the buttons and the lack of responsiveness. The buttons require a very firm press before they work meaning more often than not the remote doesn’t respond on your first try and you have to repress very, very firmly which is usually successful. You may not have this issue if you have particularly muscular thumbs(?) This isn’t the end of the world and the remote is almost certainly an improvement over the standard Xbox controller (which loves to power itself off every 5 seconds) when watching movies etc. but poor design of the buttons lets this product down, and I’d recommend buying something else.

Some mixed reviews on this product. Mine works perfectly. I don’t have to point it at the Xbox for it to work, i can literally point it in the opposite direction and it still works. The quality feels very similar to what I believe Xbox would release themselves. Every button works and it is backlit, so i think it’s a great remote.

This could quite possibly be the best XBOX remote yet. Having gone through the original official launch mini remote, the long PDP remote and the 8bitdo mini remote.. this has to be the most superior of them all. I disliked the rubber coating of the other ones and much prefer this hardened matte finish, which is similar to the 8bitdo remote. The previous remotes would wear out their coating or become sticky like PlayStation DualShock thumbsticks over time, whereas this material is far more durable and an excellent design choice. This slimmer and smaller PDP remote is easy to hold and very responsive over distance, something the 8bitdo one has issues with. I also like that the motion lights don’t stay on too long - a feature on the other remotes that often drains the battery quickly. This is not the case here and I feel that this is the definitive media remote for the console. My only gripe is that the back button placement doesn’t feel intuitive, but I’m sure with time, I’ll eventually get used to it. Other than that one minor issue, it’s absolute perfection. I really wish it was released earlier as that would have saved me wasting so much money on media remotes, especially with this being my fourth one. If you want the one solution for all your XBOX media needs, this is it and an absolute no brainer. You can’t go wrong with it and it’s officially licensed. It kind of reminds me of the Apple TV remote and that’s no bad thing. It’s definitely durable and spot-on reactive.

I bought this in late 2021 for my new xbox series X and did not really use it due to being gifted a PS5. However during 2023 I've had to use it more as PLEX is far more stable on xbox then PS5 and unfortunately this controller is incredibly unresponsive. I'm confused how many higher ratings there are, its borderline unusable which is a shame as it looks pretty good. It can take about 15-20 presses of buttons and moving around the room to get the controller to do anything so I generally give up.

extremely good, works right out of the box. some people have said that you sometimes have to press hard for the buttons to work but i dont think this is true as the remote is activated by motion action, the lights turn on and that’s when the buttons ‘work’

La télécommande Xbox PDP se distingue par sa qualité de fabrication remarquable et son emballage sophistiqué, ce qui en fait une excellente idée de cadeau pour tout amateur de jeux vidéo ou de multimédia. Son design et sa construction solide apportent une touche d'élégance à l'ensemble. L'expérience utilisateur quotidienne est très agréable. Un des atouts majeurs de cette télécommande est sa facilité d'utilisation : elle fonctionne automatiquement sans nécessité d'appairage, offrant une expérience plug-and-play vraiment appréciable. Bien qu'il soit nécessaire de pointer la télécommande directement vers la Xbox pour son fonctionnement, ce qui pourrait être un inconvénient dans certaines configurations de salon, cela ne pose généralement aucun problème dans un agencement standard où l'on est face à la console. Le rétroéclairage est un véritable atout, rarement présent sur des produits concurrents, même plus coûteux, comme les télécommandes LG ou celle de l'Apple TV 4K. Cette fonctionnalité améliore considérablement l'utilisation dans des environnements peu éclairés, comme lors de soirées cinéma. En conclusion, je recommande vivement la télécommande Xbox PDP pour ceux qui cherchent à améliorer leur expérience de visionnage de Blu-rays sur Xbox, ou simplement à ajouter un niveau de confort supplémentaire à leur configuration de divertissement. Son design élégant, sa facilité d'utilisation et son rétroéclairage en font également une idée de cadeau parfaite pour les fans de la console Xbox.

Ich habe lange überlegt ob ich eine Xbox Series X neben der PS5 noch benötige. Bei einem super Black Friday Deal inkl. Diablo IV habe ich doch zugegriffen. Und das die Xbox sehr leise ist und eine 4K Laufwerk hat, lässt sie sich auch hervorragend als Blu-ray Player nutzen. Und dir Remote funktioniert einwandfrei. Ja, es handelt sich wohl um Infarot weshalb man etwaszielen muss. Aber sie ist beleuchtet, braucht 2x AAA und ist wertig. Ich hatte einen Voucher für einen Monat Xbox Game Pass Ultimate beiligen. Top!

Cool génial

Controle top. Original. O mais importante. Original. Porque tem muita cópia desse controle genérico. Ele só não liga a tv e só não aumenta o volume pelo controle dele. Mas o próprio Xbox tem uma função para isso. Mas minha tv não é smart. Ele liga o console igual controle video game. Ótimo. Apenas Chegar em casa. Deitar e acessar as mídias sem ter que ficar segurando aquele controle pesado desengoçado nas mãos. Obs: as pilhas são pilhas palito eu pensei que era as AA mas são AAA e tem que comprar separado porque não vem junto. A entrega foi super rápido para meu endereço. Foi entregue em apenas 10 horas pós compra. Ótimo material. A única coisa que deixou a desejar foi a falta de microfone para digitar os texto. Mas se fosse adaptado não seria original também. Recomendo.

Antes de la salida de las consolas Series X-S no había casi ningún mando multimedia para Xbox, los pocos que había superaban los $1,000 mxn - $50dls Era cuestión de tiempo para que salieran al mercado opciones para la nueva generación pero nunca imaginé que seria de una calidad tan descomunal y con tan buenas prestaciones. Uso mi Xbox One X (pasada gen) como centro multimedia en la sala de mi hogar y era de lo mas fastidioso usar el mando de juego para ver netflix, hbo, spotify etc sin mencionar que mis padres no entendían como se manejaba por ser un mando de juego Ahora con este mando que pareciera uno mas como de TV-Bluray esos problemas desaparecieron y ahora manejan la consola como si nada, dejo mi opinión después de 1 mes de uso Pros. -Retrocompatibilidad - No solo funciona en la nueva generación de consolas (Series X/S) si no que también funciona en la pasada gen Xbox one y la Xone X -Diseño y Material Premium - Para mi sorpresa por el precio tan económico no esperaba un diseño y material tan lindo a la vista y la sensación al presionar los botones es muy satisfactorio -Retro iluminación automática - Si eres de las personas que lo ocupan en salas obscuras o de noche, el mando tiene un sensor de movimiento que al activarse se iluminan todos los botones durante unos 3 segundos detalle que se agradece para no perder de vista los botones en zonas obscuras -No necesitas vincular/instalar - Así como lo saqué del empaque cualquier botón que presiones en ese momento tu Xbox lo detectara sin tener que vincular o instalarlo antes -Buena autonomía de baterías, a día de hoy es un mes exacto desde que le puse unas baterías recargables precargadas, nunca les di una carga completa y justo hoy se acabo la baterías, considerando que la consola esta en mi casa y permanece prendida por lo menos de 6-8 horas diarias ya que todos la ocupan, el control no gasta tanta batería a comparación de un mando que a la semana ya ocupa recargar las baterías Contras. -Tapa de baterías de mala calidad- Si bien no todo es color de rosa aunque lo pareciera, el único punto negativo es que a 1 mes de uso la tapa de baterías, se cae por si sola, lo cual no tiene mucho sentido, solo se abrió una vez para colocar las baterías y se aflojo como si se hubiera abierto y cerrado como juego mas de 100 veces, para evitar esa gran incomodidad le puse cinta adhesiva lo cual hace que se vea algo feo para el lindo diseño que lleva Conclusión. a pesar de ese punto negativo me parece una maravilla de control y salvo mi vida y la de mis mandos de juego ya que se ocupaban para ver aplicaciones y era arriesgarlos mucho a que alguien los tirara, el diseño excelente y su funcionalidad mas que perfecta, recomiendo ampliamente su compra
