Remotes

I’ve been looking for a remote replacement for my Roku Streaming Stick. On Amazon, the one for the Roku TV is 9.99 but for the Streaming Stick is 29.99. Is there any way to find the Streaming Stick Remote Replacement for a similar price than the TV one?

No.  That Roku TV remote is a relatively simple optical infrared remote, similar to most TV remotes and inexpensive universal remotes. 

Streaming Sticks are typically used behind the TV where infrared cannot reach so must be controlled by more sophisticated remotes that connect via WiFi direct.

You can also use the official Roku remote app available for Android or iOS devices.

Thank you for sharing your insights in the Roku Community, @ceffet!

To ensure the best performance with your Roku streaming stick, we recommend utilizing the Roku voice remote, as it is specifically tailored for this device. However, if the voice remote is not available, as @makaiguy mentioned, we encourage you to explore the Roku mobile app as a convenient alternative.

For additional guidance on using the Roku mobile app to control your streaming device without a remote, please refer to our FAQ section.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
