Universal Remote Attachment for Roku Streaming Player

Have owned a bunch of these, they work great. Button quality isn’t the greatest as they age, they tend to sink in, but usually still work. Great solution just wish the quality was better for such a simple small basic IR remote.

I purchased this product after having issues with another universal remote. I love the Roku remote so I was hoping to find something similar, but stumbled across this remote extension. It was very simple to program and isn't too bulky. One thing that would have made this a perfect product is the ability to swap out button covers for other common control functions (like mute and back) so the buttons have the icon on them. I'm not using channel up or down so I set those to mute and back.

This would've been perfect however I needed two more buttons for it to work in my case. I would still recommend this as a viable option for many versus getting an expensive universal remote.

We recently completely cut the cord, got rid of STB's and exited cable TV for YouTube TV. Up until now, our house has been littered with Harmony remotes...some IR, several Wi-Fi based. The latter always troublesome. We've had Roku sticks in all of our TV's for years, but the remotes are limited. Most can control a TV, but not a soundbar or amp. The challenge was to make this easy for my wife, who struggles with things that are very technical, including juggling remotes, changing inputs, etc.I had a new Sideclick purchased on sale 2 yrs ago, but never bothered to use until now. Well, it worked so nicely, I just bought 2 more and am likely to buy a couple more.The master bedroom was easy - just a TV plus soundbar now that the STB was gone. The Roku stick power button is programmed for the TV, the SideClick for the soundbar, with volume +/- and mute. I added black P-touch labels on the remotes to make it easy to see the button assignment.The family room was the trickiest to convert since we have a complex Yamaha multimedia amplifier. The amp is hidden inside a cabinet that has slotted doors. If you are sitting in the right place in the room, an IR remote will fire through the slots in the doors and the IR will activate the amplifier. But that doesn't work in the majority of the room from which we might wish to view, such as from the kitchen that overlooks the family room.We picked up an excellent IR remote extender and mounted the receiver on top of the TV. With the SideClick programmed for Amp power on/off, volume, sound mode, and mute, it perfectly complements the Roku remote that's programmed for TV power on/off.Very pleased and will purchase more. The only improvement I'd like to see is a mini 4-way rocker to navigating thru the amp or TV menus. But honestly, that needs to be done so rarely, it's not a biggie.Note: to program the Sideclick you MUST have your original IR remote, or a universal IR remote that's programmed with the functions you need. You have to use that to teach the SideClick the IR commands for each button using that IR remote.

When I had trouble setting this up, I dug into the supporting information and was able to figure out that our cable service is not compatible. I wish there had been an easier way of finding this out but I had to return it.

We've had this for a little while now. You can think of it as an expansion unit for your roku remote control. We used it to replace a Logitech Harmony remote after cutting the cord on our cable service. I liked the harmony remote, but things sometimes got out of sequence which frustrared others in my family.The requirements we had for this was mostly to control the volume on our soundbar and change the input selection on our TV (since there isn't a way built into the roku remote). To that extent it works very well. It clips snug onto the side of roku remote. It does however block the audio jack and only clips onto the left side of the remote. It cannot be used on the right side of the remote with the way it attaches. It comes with multiple clips for different roku remote models and it then it clips onto that. It does slide up and down a little once clipped on but for the most part stays in place. It uses an additional battery (aaa, I believe) which it came with and battery life seems to be good.Programming it was relatively easy, but it is an I.R. "learning remote" so it does require you to use a remote that is already programmed (i.e. original remote for device). You can then any number of remotes to program *any* function of the original remote to *any* of the buttons on the sideclick and to use that IR sequence.Ergonomically it's not as comfortable to hold the roku remote with this attached as it is without, but it isn't horrible. The buttons are basically all reachable holding it in one hand. One of the nice things is that since this is attached to the roku remote I dont have to worry about losing a second remote (compliments of the remote finder button on the roku). I still miss the Harmony remote for a few tasks and I wish this had a few more buttons on it at times. Overall it's a well made product that fills a niche and I wouldn't be surprised if we wind up getting another one for our other TV.

Works as designed in that it lets me control my older receiver’s volume, but it really makes the Roku remote awkward to use. Using back and home is really awkward. I might return and put the money towards a HDMI/CEC receiver.

Use this product to turn on and off and raise/lower the volume on my vizio soundbar. Setup took less than 10 minutes...Works fine... Planning to purchase one more...

We were living in multiple remote hell. My wife was crying in tech agony from the tortuous configurations she had to endure, when we happened upon this product. Our marriage, indeed, our peace of mind and our harmony with the universe had been restored!! Thank You!!This is not fiction.

Great quality! Easy programming!Works reliably!Bracket for the remote would be better if it was a little stiffer and have a hole for the headphone plugin.

More than happy

Fast shipping, paired it to work my stereo components too (on, off, volume). So cool. I love Roku!

Excellent remote! Comes with all of the adaptors you would need for any roku device, and is incredibly easy to program.
