Odd, showing R199 again now. Probably a glitch in the matrix.

I'm taking 2 weeks off over the Christmas period. Just to relax at home.
So I've got a big decision to make, which game to play?
In the past I've played some great games during the Christmas holidays, including Red Dead Redemption 2, Forza 7, Witcher 3, Dark Souls 3 and so forth.
I'm not going to pick up Cyberpunk just yet. Going to wait for the enhanced edition. I'm thinking AC Valhalla maybe? Or maybe Wasteland 3 which is something I've been wanting to play for a while now.

Borderlands 3 if you haven't finished it already...

If you haven't jammed them already, both Ori games. But have a loved one or a box of tissues close when you finish the second one, as it's a rough ride on the emotional roller coaster.

Lol, just came to report in. Picked up the Volkano about hour ago and... it works like a charm (Bar the power on/off) On a PC it works, on Xbox it doesn't.
Has 2 modes.
Normal Media Keyboard (USB)
All works for Xbox except the power button (Funny enough works on PC?) Yes I brought my Xbox to work just so I can "test" the remote.... that is it, I brought it to test the remote
Arrows = normal navigation
Menu icon = B
OK = A
Esc = X
Haven't found Y yet.
Media keys working in Kodi as well.
IR remote mode (Press TV Button to activate)
In IR mode you have 4 sets Red/Green/Yellow/Blue of all the buttons on top that you can teach using another IR to copy. USB dongle doesn't need to be plugged in to use as a IR Universal remote.
Works on TV here at work
Edit: See Xbox for Size
Attached is the manual in case anyone is interested:

Power buttton works on the one for all remote so can switch on tv and xbox without lifting my bum. It seems that all the controller buttons are on the remote, linked to the bottom colour buttons. The number also work for the code i set on my xbox.

Not an issue for me as my Xbox/TV & HiFi, turns on via Google Voice "Game time" command.. that also dim the top lights
I know others want it so tested it for completeness.

So this works with IR and thus line of sight?

You can switch on your TV via Google Home? Hmmm, must give it a try.

I have one of these puppies + Google nest... can do anything IR related via Google Voice. Just wanted a remote cause saying "up, up, up, enter, down down..." is kinda stupid
I think Google home has an IR Blaster built in?

Ir mode for programmable functions.
USB 2.4 mode for media keyboard. Full Xbox control (Bar power) without line of sight.

So got my X this morning, so far Diablo 3 does look crisper and there is no slow down when there are a lot of mobs. Have had slow down load speeds and did accidentally try plug my USB 3 drive into the expansion slot as I was attempting to plug it in via feel.
Only played a little with it, will see first new console since 2006

Not sure what your point of reference is, but the crisper visuals you're noticing could be a result of the One X patch. AFAIK D3 hasn't received a Series X/S patch yet...

I have the exact remote. It operates my JVC amplifier, LG TV, Sharp VHS recorder and Telefunken TV in the bedroom.
Advanced functions are not available on the remote (obviously as those would be device specific), but for basic operation it works well.
