Remote with lighted controls
Does RoKu have a remote that light up allowing you to see the controls when watching TV in a dark room?

This is the one thing that I completely dislike about my Roku. I've looked for a backlit remote control but cannot find one. It's so surprising that this isn't included in any remote. I mean, it's basic tech & something that's been around for a long time. I think customers would eagerly buy these if you'd bring your remotes up to date.
100% agree. This is not an unreasonable Request.
Hey Roku! A backlit remote is long overdue. Amazon Fire Cube now offers one and if I wasn’t a long time dedicated Roku user I would make the switch just for that feature alone. Please come out with one ASAP!
Completely agree!! It's been years. Unsure why they can't do this.
Amazon released a backlit Fire TV remote and it's exactly what Roku should have done with the voice remote pro. The Roku voice remote pro was a massive let down due to no backlit capability. Roku, listen to your customers and release a backlit remote. I guarantee you people will buy it.
I agree. We watch tv in the dark a lot and it’s a pain to use a flashlight or turn a lamp on. Please offer back lit remotes comparable with Roku express 4k
Just adding to this FOUR page thread. It is ridiculous that Roku won’t make a backlit remote. Looking to switch unless they can offer one soon. It stinks because we recently set up 4 locations and it will be a total pain. The Roku express remote feels cheap without this BASIC feature.
I do see some 3rd party options on Amazon now if you search backlit Roku remotes. Some are for Roku TV only due to the use of IR instead of BT.
Hopefully they work well. I’ve finally moved on from Roku partly due to this major gap but if anyone’s tried these aftermarket remotes, please feel free to post about your experience here.
