What a let down..One of the most desirable features left out of a otherwise decent remote. We need a backlit, voice activated, USB remote. Come on you all.

Hard to believe after switching from my cable company to these streaming devices in 4 locations with a total of 15 Roku Ultra streaming players and NO BACKLIT remotes. I feel like George Jetson stuck with a Fred Flintstone remote. I mean, really?

Yep, that's why I use all Fire TVs instead now. Backlit remote and programmable remote so you can control your soundbar or sound system without relying on ARC (can use optical).

Having just purchased my Roku, I have not learned the location yet for all the buttons, and use long distance glasses to watch TV. It is very frustrating to change glasses and fumble for the right buttons due to NO back lit buttons! Every remote I have had for decades has been back lit. Who in your organization thinks that this is a good business plan? I already regret my purchase.

Holy helle they finally done it!
Long after I've moved on from Roku due to lack of backlighting but better late than never!
