Welcome, and thank you for posting here in the Roku Community, @officer!
I appreciate you reaching out for support about the responsiveness of your Roku remote paired to your Roku Streaming Stick 4K. I'd be happy to suggest some troubleshooting steps to help you.
In this case, can you please confirm if you've successfully paired the remote to your Roku player? Also, does changing the batteries make any difference?
In the meantime, we can try resetting your remote by pressing and holding the Back and Home buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds and then pair it again to see if this works.
I'll be looking forward to your response.
Best regards,
Carly
