Thanks for letting us know, @Tpp1971.

We'd like to gather further information about this so we can assess your concern better:

  • Can you specify which particular buttons you are having this issue with? Is it non-functional or hard to press?
  • Is this the remote that comes with your Roku player (specify the model)?
  • When did you initially observe this happening?

Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Your response is highly anticipated as well.

Best regards,

Right button not working - voice remote

Jump to solution

The right arrow button on our voice remote is not working. We have tried restarting the tv, replacing batteries, etc. it still does not work. 


we are unable to search for and use several apps, which is very frustrating. 

Roku Support: can you fix this?

I am having a similar problem with a brand new remote control and brand new batteries where the buttons have to be pressed very firmly for them to work. I'm reading that a lot of people are having this problem even with new remotes. What are you doing about it?
