Alternative to a Roku remote...

The remote to my Roku stick is just plain annoying. It's gotten to the point that I have to push the buttons so hard, and sometimes over and over, before the function actually goes through. It actually is making my tennis elbow worse, with how hard I have to press the buttons, and sometimes I have to keep it pressed before the button works.

I realize I can use the app, but that is my last resort. I'm not interested in having to permanently use my phone for TV. But I will do it if there are no alternatives.

I was looking into getting another Roku remote, but remotes shouldn't be this difficult to use.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any good alternatives instead of buying another Roku brand remote....?

Sorry, but not when it comes to a Roku Stick, only remotes that can control it is Roku wifi voice remote. Upgrade the Roku device to another like Ultra or Express 4k+ it can then be controlled via IR and with may aftermarket universal remotes.
