Remote keeps draining batteries

I have had this Roku streaming stick for a few years and I noticed the batteries are always dead when we go to use the remote. This remote is used maybe once every few days as it's in the spare room. We have 2 other Ruku devices and never had this issue. The Ruku streaming stick we have in our main room is used every day for hours and we only change the batteries every year or more.

Please help!

    What kind of batteries are you using?  I recommend alkaline - inexpensive carbon cells are cheap and just don't last.  And my experience is that batteries from one of the major battery manufacturers will last longer than store-brand or no-name batteries.
