Re: Brand new Roku Remote - right arrow not responding

I have the same exact issue where the right directional arrow barely works at all. You have to press really hard and sometimes it doesn't work at all. It started doing this a few weeks after I purchased it. Extremely frustrating.

Re: Brand new Roku Remote - right arrow not responding

Hi, @Bnjguy.

Thanks for the added information. In this case, I will coordinate this with our Support team for additional reinforcement. I will then contact you via PM to gather the necessary details needed. 

In the meantime, you may install the Roku mobile app as an alternative to your physical remote. This app is a free application for iOS® and Android devices that turns your mobile device into a control center for your Roku streaming player or Roku TV system. The Remote feature of the mobile app allows you to use your phone or tablet as a Roku remote.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

Best regards,
Carly

Every time they keep saying they will ship one , but never do.Meanwhile I am fed up have switched to Apple streaming device. I will complain this to Uk consumer electronics group. Please share if you are having similar experience .
