The 5 Best Xbox One S TV remotes (2023 reviews)

The pdp xbox one s tv remote's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. This media remote helps you take control of your xbox with everything you need, right at your fingertips. It comes with a traditional tv remote design, where you can quickly access play, skip, and volume controls along with the common xbox controls like a, b, x, y and a d-pad. It fits tightly and does not fall off.

The feel of the buttons is nice. It's fairly small, fitting comfortably in the palm of your hand. There is enough room on the remote to put those buttons in a diamond pattern which would make it so much easier to remember where the buttons are instead of having to re-learn or always look. It comes with the same overall design with the Xbox aesthetics, and overall looks nice.

Why We Like This:

More fumbling for the right button on the controller to pause your movie
Works wonders for days just watching tv and not playing games
Works with streaming services, watching movies, and the microsoft store

Best Runner up: 8bitdo Xbox One S TV Remote

Buy on Amazon

The 8Bitdo Media Remote is hands down the new king of the castle. It pretty much works out of the box when you slap in batteries. It has a programmable one-guide button that you can customize for any app or game on your Xbox. It's infrared, so it has to be pointed at the Xbox, but the range is decent. All other buttons are smooth and the directional ones have tiny dots that really can't be felt.

The remote signal can easily get blocked by furniture, so keep that in mind if you keep your console pushed back inside an entertainment center/shelf.
