Xbox Series X / S

Hi guys, I will be buying a Xbox Series S in the coming weeks (for gaming & media streaming use) but have a question regarding a remote. Needed for use while watching Netflix, Youtube, Kodi etc. Can you guys recommend something that works well. I'll be using it from about 3 or 4 meters away max with clear line of sight of the Xbox.

The PDP Gaming Media Remote keeps popping up online, but the reviews (on multiple platforms) seem a bit hit & miss.

Just get a 8 in one Supports Xbox Series S and had great range & battery life.

Mine replaced TV & Hi-FI remote as well so only have one remote for all my needs. Also very cheap at local PnP & Builders warehouse. Think I saw it on Takealot as well.


I bought mine from PnP Northgate for R199, cant seem to find it on their online store.

Agreed, got one for my old One S, though I've not hooked it up to my Series X or One X as my son is using it in his room after he lost the remote to his TV.

You add the device to your profile on MS and then put in a claim on it. Don't need receipts or anything as long as there is warranty.
 
Finally managed to fix the controller my son did a number on the faceplate was the first thing replaced, but when taking it apart the back was not in good shape either so it was on wonky, the thumbsticks weren't doing well either.
All from xmods.co.za, the faceplate was R220, the back was R185 and the thumbsticks were R40.
Now I need to clean my desk, that controller had lots of chip dust and stuff in it

That 512GB drive will be good enough for one COD game...

+1 for that remote. My only complaint is I cannot figure out how to get back to the dashboard, or open that popup thing on the left to go back to the dashboard. I'm sure I am doing it wrong and my google foo is weak, but getting out of apps like Twitch is a pain. I have to turn on the controller to get out. Does anyone have a genius idea to get around this?

Interestingly, after the update mine still seemed to render at 1080p. Confirmed the night mode settings were there, but it didn’t look any different. Only after restarting the console again did it kick the dashboard up to 4k.

How do you know it's 1080p? I mean I couldn't really tell as my TV would just upscale it.

I never needed it, mostly use the remote to navigate Kodi. Will see if I can find somethin.
