I’ve contacted Tech Support a number of times and received different answers. I know how to factory reset a Roku ultra.
Can you reset to “factory basics” a Roku remote?
One person said, hit the home, left arrow and mute button for about 25 seconds. I would call that a “three finger salute,” Paying homage to a Microsoft reset technique.
Another said hold the home button down for about 30 seconds
Another tech said, hit the Home button and left arrow button down for about 20 seconds and that should initiate a remote unit factory reset
Any of these answers sound right by you?
Do you have a better answer or a different answer… Something that works for you to reset a Roku remote to factory standards.
This link has something, but not sure if it's accurate (scroll down a few sections):

Hi, @FranklinJ!
Greetings from the Roku Community.
In reference to our support article here: How to fix your Roku voice remote that is not working, There is a section that provides steps for rebooting your remote. This involves removing it from your Roku device and then pairing it again which basically means resetting your physical remote.
There are also various ways of rebooting your remote depending on the model:
If your voice remote uses standard AA or AAA alkaline batteries, you can reboot it by removing and reinstalling the batteries.
If your voice remote has a rechargeable battery, follow the steps below below to reboot your remote
I hope you find this information helpful.
Best regards,

Re: A Backlit Remote, But Loses Earphones!
It is clear to me that you are intentionally avoiding my point. So I'll end with this:
Please do not communicate with me again until Roku offers a remote with (1) backlit keys; (2) a headphone jack; and (3) voice control, all combined in the same remote.”
Do we know if Roku has a remote In the works with Back life keys, a headphone jack and voice control?
Apparently, the mobile app does not fulfill his needs.
I would like to know if bulldogX has requirements that we can fulfill. Thank you very much, RokuCarly!
