OK Button on Remote Doesn't Work Very Well

I used to like playing Backgammon but not any more. You have to press the OK button a number of times and to get it to work you have to press the button really hard. I get through one game and that's about all I can take. It was never that difficult at first. 

And it isn't just backgammon. When choosing a program from the home screen, it's just as difficult. Or when you scroll back in a movie to catch something you miss.

It was like this with the last remote I had before it died. Is it just me, or do others have this problem also?

    Thank you for letting us know about this, MJGuitar.

    Our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you and we're here to find you the best resolution possible. 

    In this case, may know when you changed (purchased a new one) your remote and did it happened the first time you used it? Also, is the OK button the only button you are having this issue with? 

    In the meantime, we suggest pressing and holding the Back and Home buttons simultaneously for about 30 seconds to reset your remote. After doing so, re-pair it again to see if this will make any difference.

    We'll be anticipating your response as we are more than eager to help you resolve this.

    Best regards,
    Carly

    Hi MJGuitar,

    Thank you for keeping us posted!

    We will be more than happy to assist you further with this issue that you're having with the Roku remote. Please follow the troubleshooting steps below.

    Reboot your voice remote.

    If your voice remote uses standard AA or AAA alkaline batteries, use the following steps to reboot your remote by removing and reinstalling the batteries:

    1. Remove the battery cover on the back of your remote.
    2. Remove both batteries from the battery compartment.
    3. Re-insert the negative (-) end of a battery first, and then gently push the positive (+) end until the battery clicks into place.
    4. Repeat the previous step to install the second battery.
    5. Put the battery cover back on your remote.

    If your voice remote has a rechargeable battery, follow the steps below to reboot your remote.

    • If your rechargeable voice remote has a pairing button, press and hold the pairing button on the back of the remote for 20 seconds.
    • If your rechargeable voice remote does not have a pairing button, press and hold the Back and Home buttons for 20 seconds.

    We hope this helps, and please keep us posted if you need anything else.

    Best regards,                                                                                                                                      John

      It is only the OK button. 

      I don't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure the problem re-occurred soon after purchasing it.

      I'm not sure how to re-pair the remote.

      Thank you for responding to my post.
