One remote button barely works

My Roku is brand new only a few weeks of use so far, but the right arrow button on the remote barely works. I have to press it super hard and multiple times before it works. Anyone know a fix for this? Batteries are 83%

Re: One remote button barely works

I am having the same issue. I just purchased this and is less than a month old. All of the remote buttons do not work. I have to press all of them very hard to get it to respond at all. What can I do to get this issue fixed?

Re: The right arrow on my remote for new 4K Streaming Stick is not working

Didn't work for me.  The right arrow button on the remote still doesn't work properly.  You have to press super hard for it to work.  Makes me less likely to purchase another Roku device.

What does that have to do with one button only working if pushed very hard?
