It works on my Series X. Nice and easy. Environment friendly attracts me as well. Just a bit disadvantage which is it has disconnected two times, yet I can live with that.
This is my initial review of this remote.
So far it works great!! I don’t know the durability of this remote as of yet but I will say it doesn’t feel cheap and flimsy. It feels pretty good in the hand and the button layout is much better than most of its competitors for example the back button is right below the left of the directional pad unlike most of its competitors. As for the IR you don’t necessarily have to literally point the remote towards your Xbox like most other remotes, I had the remote pointing straight up to the ceiling and still worked. I like the idea of it charging by solar but that remains to be seen on how reliable that will be, but you can charge it via USB-C.
The only gripe I have right now about this remote is that it’s not Bluetooth, maybe someday?
But other than that, this is a good solid option for a media remote for your Xbox one or series x/s.
My Xbox is within line of sight about 8-10 feef away from sitting areas and I have no connection issues. All the buttons work fine and remote can turn on and off the console out of the package. Battery does need charging once a week for me because I tend to hold my remote while watching TV and the keys are constantly lit.
At first I thought it didn’t work but a deep Google search I found that the sync button on the Series X, doubles as an IR receiver and my line of sight was blocked. Wish it was a Bluetooth connection because sometimes my inputs aren’t read but I’m just spoiled by modern TV controllers that even work under the blanket and don’t need a line of sight haha Next I thought it was black but it’s a gray color like the trim on the Xbox 360 controllers. I also noticed each input is read once, for example if you have to scroll you cannot just hold down a direction key you have to repeatedly hit the direction key. Love the solar panel in the back and the backlit keys remind me of my Shield remote. Much better than having to use a Xbox controller for media but my only real nitpick is the line of sight.
