Feels like something Apple might have designed. Replaces my logitech harmony remote - *** Update **** Not 3 days after purchasing the remote, I started experiencing a problem with the Volume buttons not working properly, which apparently may be a widespread problem and not just an isolated bug. The volume button does not always register when pressed. I have to repeatedly press the power button and it may be detected maybe only every other push. Also If I just hold down the volume button, It's only adjust the volume up or down a little, then a pause, then a little more, then a pause, then a little more. Very annoying little bug if your relying on this remote for volume control. I've dropped from 5 stars to 4 stars. I still really like the remote but I do expect the volume to work normally and will have to contact microsoft about this issue. Maybe a bigger drop in stars is incoming if I don't resolve this problem. ****// End Update **** The remote is about half the height of the 360 media remote. Very straight forward and easy to use. Has a soft touch feel that feels really good. The downside of the soft touch material is that it is a bit of a lint magnet. Remote picked up lint just from the packaging it came in and I had to wipe it clean first thing. I'm still quite happy with the soft touch and think it will be great in the long run. The remote also has a sensor that turns on the backlighting when you pick it up without you having to do anything. The back light then very gracefully fades after about 5-7 seconds when the remote is placed down again. Very slick and the design akin to something Apple might do. Very good on Microsoft here. To turn on Xbox you long press the Xbox logo button on the remote. This is so much better than using the Xbox One controller as your remote control. It's just less work. Easier to pickup and use one handed. Easier than talking to Kinect all the time...although I still enjoy talking for certain things like Pausing a video or opening an app. A great solution for the non-gaming family members to interact with the Xbox with easily and without clunkiness. It seems like many don't know this, but the Xbox One has an IR blaster in the Kinect device. You can program your Xbox One to control your specific TV and Receiver / Amplifier, or your Cable TV, via the IR blaster. You don't have to run any special cables or anything, the Kinect just bounces high power IR signal around your room and it gets back to your TV, receiver, cable box...etc. You can even control your Amplifier / Receiver audio volume from the Xbox One Media Remote! It works unbelievably well. Go into your Xbox One settings > TV & One Guide > Devices. If you want to change the increment of how much the Xbox One increases or decreases your volume (when controlling by voice), follow these instructions: Go to the Xbox One settings app Go to TV & OneGuide "Troubleshooting" "Audio" "Volume Change" Again the above instructions are only for voice control, "Xbox Volume Up". The media remote only does volume control by standard +/- 1 unit of audio and can NOT be adjusted by the above increment settings. So for my fairly straight forward setup where I only use the Xbox One for games, Blu-Ray, and streaming media, I now don't need my Logitech Harmony Remote anymore, or any other remote. This media remote is my ONLY remote! I have a love hate relationship with the Logitech Harmony. With the One remote, my setup no longer needs it!!! My wife will now be able to easily turn on the TV without issues, and unlike the Logitech harmony remote which you had to carefully keep pointing at the TV / Amp / Cable box till it finished all it's commands, lest it get out of sync and be a headache to fix...the Xbox One sends such a powerful blast of IR out to your other devices, that you don't have to think about how long you point the remote. This is a huge feature that the Xbox One has that the PS4 does not. It's one of the features made possible by the Kinect device. Review: Not Another "Cheap Accessory" - So, you're thinking, "that's just another accessory that I don't really need." No, trust me, this thing is AWESOME. First of all, it feels great; the coating is a soft rubber that surrounds the entire remote. I've actually never felt another remote like it. Next, the button back lights fade in and out and come on whenever the remote is moved. If you pick it up, the lights come on. When you put it down on your coffee table, they fade out after a second or two. It really gives the impression of a "living device." The functionality of this thing is also great. There are all the buttons you need, but it isn't cluttered up by giving you a button for every function (see the PS3 media remote). Everything is well placed, and it is intuitive to use. Here's the great thing: if your Xbox One is set up to control your TV and your audio receiver, this remote will work them too! So, this has become the one universal remote that's actually ever worked for me. I just push one button and everything comes on. I can select what I want to watch, and adjust the volume all from the same remote. This has replaced a TV remote, Xbox controller, and audio receiver controller with one device. My coffee table went from having remotes all over it to just one, small, well-designed remote. Though it may seem like just another add-on, Microsoft really spent some time and effort here, and it shows. If you have an Xbox One and watch a lot of video on it, this is a "must buy." ## Features - Easy-to-use remote to control your entertainment - Compatible With Xbox One X, Xbox One S, Xbox One - Stays on, eliminating the need to keep turning on an Xbox One controller to control your Xbox One - OneGuide button provides one-touch, quick access to all of your favorites in one place - Control video playback for Blu-ray movies and streaming video on Xbox One - Compatible with Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Windows 10 - Up to 30 foot range (straight line from console) and includes an Infrared (IR) transmitter and motion-activated backlit buttons. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IAVDPSA | | Additional Features | wireless digital | | Battery Type | Alkaline | | Best Sellers Rank | #29,840 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #2,468 in Xbox One Games, Consoles & Accessories | | Brand | Microsoft | | Built-In Media | remote | | Button Quantity | 9 | | Color | red | | Compatible Devices | Television | | Connectivity Technology | Infrared | | Controller Type | Button Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,981) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885370604290, 00885370604306, 04988648976276 | | Item Type Name | Conditional Access Module | | Item Weight | 0.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Microsoft | | Maximum Number of Supported Devices | 1 | | Maximum Range | 30 Feet | | Mfr Part Number | 6DV-00005 | | Model Name | Xbox One Media Remote | | Model Number | 6DV-00005 | | Number of Batteries | 2 AAA batteries required. | | UPC | 885370817706 012301019001 667649419473 885370604306 885370604290 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | ## Images ![Xbox One Media Remote - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RRURswTQL.jpg) ![Xbox One Media Remote - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZWH9Zmr6L.jpg) ![Xbox One Media Remote - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51AE+6hEhGL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this Remote work for with the Hulu Plus, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Intant Video Apps on the Xbox ONE?** A: Does not work with the latest 2017 amazon video app update, The update changed the way the app works, adding to lists, selecting films require X Y buttons and other game controller based selection switches, and precludes other methods. don't know why they did that?for the rest \works no problem with Hulu and Netflix. I don not view much youtube, so i can't say anything about it.The volume controls are matched up with my sound system, . The sound system has a function that can learn what Remote Controller you have and use those signals to manage the sound..For the on/off, i use a kenict as a IR bouncer ,when the xbox goes on it turns on the sound system and the TV **Q: Does the remote stay "on", or will it shut itself off like the controller?** A: It's like a regular TV remote (it's only "on" when it transmits a signal). The only difference is that if you move it the buttons light up. **Q: do you need a kinect to use any of the remotes funtions?** A: No, a Kinect is not required to use this remote with the Xbox One. However, you would need to buy an IR cable for the Xbox One in order to use it to control your TV (turning the volume up or down, or turning it off) or your cable box, because the Xbox One can't independently control infrared-controlled devices. **Q: Does it uses battery or is rechargeable???** A: It uses batteries, although I use rechargeable ones. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very small, great curved ergonomic shape.

While you can use the standard Xbox controller to watch movies it's really not practical or easy to do. First i looked at this product, was not sure about the price point, browsed some 3rd parties reading reviews and went back to this and said F it lets get it and i'm glad I did. The build quality is exceptional. Its very sturdy and nice to hold in the hand with a slightly rubberized texture for a no slip grip. The buttons feel very nice and have a quality feel when pushing them down. The buttons all automatically light up when the controller is lifted or moved for easy visibility in any lighting conditions. You can set it up so the volume control on the remote will work with either your TV or a Surround Receiver. There is the normal X box button on it which you can activate and you can navigate normal Xbox menus with this if you needed to. You have all the other normal buttons on a remote, fast forward rewind pause, you can also do a quick skip or rewind when watching in apps like netflix. All in all it's a nice remote and worth the investment especially over the cheaper generics. I wouldn't hesitate to make the purchase again should I ever need another. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/182174-xbox-one-media-remote](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/182174-xbox-one-media-remote) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
