New Roku remote right arrow not responding

Hello , I have replaced my Roku streaming stick remote recently . After a month , the right arrow button has become very sticky. I have to press hard several time to get it working . Just spent £20 on this stuff . Please help to fix it. I think Roku remotes are of inferior quality

Hi @71cristina,

Greetings, and welcome to the Roku Community!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We want to help you with this, we'll and need more information. Where did you purchase this new Roku remote of yours? Also, what troubleshooting steps have you taken besides replacing the batteries? Did you try to pair and unpair your Roku remote to see if the issue persists? If not, we recommend giving it a try.

Please keep us posted.

All the best,
Kash

Re: Brand new Roku Remote - right arrow not responding

My original remote was not working last year and I bought a new one from a local Walmart.  Lately the right arrow would occasionally not work and got worse over time.  Last week I bought another (from Walmart again) and the right arrow started failing on the first evening we used it.  Quality issues?

Re: Brand new Roku Remote - right arrow not responding

I am having the same issue. Bought the Roku Express 4K+ 2022 | Streaming Player HD/4K/HDR with Roku Voice Remote with TV Controls in April and as of a month ago, the right arrow does not work. Other buttons are fine! 

We tried to get a new remote but in the Roku store it says no remotes are compatible with our device. Please advise @RokuJechealR or @RokuTakashi

Re: Brand new Roku Remote - right arrow not responding

i have same problem with orginal remote and with new remote. NONE of  your suggested troubleshooting techniques solved the problem. It appears this is a manufacturing issue. the contacts on the touchpads are defective. How are you going to solve this problem?

@RokuTakashi @RokuJohnB 

I am having the same problem with the right arrow button not working on my #RokuExpress4K+. It is only 3 weeks old and the right arrow stopped working in the 2nd week. We have tried all the steps to resolve, like battery replacement, reset, re-pair. There are so many of us with the same issue. Must be a manufacturing defect. Please just send us all a new remote that works

Thank you.
