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

Roku Voice Remote Pro (2nd Ed.): I love this thing. I have been using Roku devices for well over a decade now. I added it to my 'Roku streaming stick 4K' device in a couple of minutes, now I have two remotes active. The backlit buttons are a big plus for me as I often turn down the lights and watch TV in the evening in a fairly dark room with only the wall behind the TV illuminated. The 'hey Roku' voice interface works well controlling the Roku menu. I usually leave that 'always listening' part turned off, with the button on the side. It reduces battery drain and creepiness factor. You can still press the 'microphone' button to enter voice commands when the 'always listening' is turned off. It paired well with my 8 years old LG 4k TV using the IR interface. I have nothing bad to say about this device. Good job to the engineering team.

It is slimmer, a customizable rocket button, same desired quick buttons built into the remote, voice activation works great too. We love that it even has backlit buttons. It was seamless in connecting to our existing ROKU soundbar with USB C charging.

I purchased this remote about a year and a half ago. Got sick of replacing batteries in my old Roku remote. These remotes are power suckered, I believe this is due to the Bluetooth feature. This new remote is rechargeable by USB-C. Now the new remote uses a lot of battery life too, but at least it can be recharged with my phone cord that sets on my stand by the chair. You can use the remote while charging. I don't think their is anyway around the battery consumption with these types of remotes because of the features. I was able to program/connect it to my roku box and my smart tv. The only issue was it will not turn on my Vizio smart TV so I still need the Vizio remote for that. Overall it is a decent remote, it's definitely an upgrade over the standard one that comes with any Roku device because it is rechargeable. Other than that, not much difference in use, at least for me.

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.

The ultimate Roku remote. Has great battery life unless heavily used. Suggest turning off auto Voice Commands (always listening) that are hit and miss depending on what's being asked. Backlight is best feature besides not having to constantly replace batteries. Buttons will probably fail before batteries stop charging. Worth the extra money.

It is a good controller and the back lighting makes it a lot easier to use in the evening. Only wish they would make one bigger for us older folks.😉

When I got this 2nd Generation Voice Remote Pro, I thought I might miss having the headphone jack, which I used every once in a while, but having the backlit keys is so great, I would make that trade any day. The remote was very easy to link with my ROKU Ultra and my TV for volume and power. The voice function worked just as well as the 1st gen voice remote and still has a mechanical on/off switch for the microphone, for those who are security conscience. One major difference is they took away the two user programmable buttons (1 & 2) and replaced them with a Guide button (great for those who use the Roku guide or have a terrestrial antenna) and a Quick Launch button - which will either take you to the Roku "What to Watch" channel or you can program it to go to the Roku Sports channel, The Roku channel (there's already a button for that), turn captions on and off (which you can do by voice command), open Voice Command (there's already a button for that), or launch your favorite channel app. I programmed it to launch my most used streaming app. Truth is, everything you can use the Quick Launch button for can be done by saying "Hey Roku" (or pushing the microphone button) and saying whatever you want it to do. Voice control negates the need for user programmable buttons. Another huge difference is the Gen 2 Voice Pro replaced the clumsy, outdated USB-micro charge port with a modern USB-C port. They even included a 1m (36") USB-A to USB-C charge cable - which charged the 1600mAh battery in what seemed to be about half the time of the former Gen 1 Voice Pro. I didn't time it, so I don't know the exact time. The remote still has four pre-programmed app buttons, which in past remote versions changed by whichever streaming app was paying Roku the most that week, so you never knew what those buttons would be until you took your remote out of the box. I think Roku has always known most people would like to be able to program those buttons with four apps of their choosing, but if you happen to have subscriptions to those channels, you'll be fine with it. Besides, the beauty of having a voice remote is that you can tell it to open whatever app you want, without the need of programming or pushing any buttons. You can also tell it to turn the power on and off, mute, pause, closed captions, or pretty much anything else the remote buttons will do. Aside from the loss of 1 user programmable button (which I no longer miss) and the headphone jack (which I might miss), this is by far the best remote Roku has made yet, therefor, I highly, strongly, and most enthusiastically recommend it!

This remote is amazing! Picks up voice from far away. I love how it lights up in the dark very happy with this purchase.

Easy to setup works fine

Perfecto Ya no utilizo baterias

Esse deveria ser o controle de todos os Roku. Completo em todas as suas funções e dá para controlar a TV com ele. Acho injusto ter que comprar a parte, pq deveria ser o padrão.

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.

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