Hard to believe after switching from my cable company to these streaming devices in 4 locations with a total of 15 Roku Ultra streaming players and NO BACKLIT remotes. I feel like George Jetson stuck with a Fred Flintstone remote. I mean, really?

Yep, that's why I use all Fire TVs instead now. Backlit remote and programmable remote so you can control your soundbar or sound system without relying on ARC (can use optical).

This remote drives me crazy in the dark!  I can't believe that customers have been complaining about this for years and nothing has been done.

This request is years old. What's the hold up? I'd buy two of these remotes, so boom, easy money. There are generic remotes that light up that work with Roku and can be purchased on Amazon, but they DON'T have voice commands. So make one and charge $29 each, I'd happily order two.

That's what I'm saying! Jeez what they are doing that's taking them FOREVER to make a voice command back lit remote is beyond me, and logic.

At this point even if Roku makes one I’d still get 3rd party like this:

Replacement Backlit TV Remote Control for Roku TV, for TCL/Hisense/Sharp/Philips/Onn/Element/Insignia/Westinghouse Roku TV (NOT for Roku Stick or Box) https://a.co/d/3YfcalE

 

Note that it’s only applicable to the TV and not the sticks due to it being IR only.

Unfortunately it doesn’t have voice support and it lags. (I bought one). So. Roku. Build your own!

Roku does not even have to make it.  They could find a third party supplier and give them the design requirements.  They could take a piece of the action and everyone would be happy.   That's how most of the stuff is made nowadays anyways. This is not a complicated thing for a third party manufacturing and engineering company. Or go to an establish remote control maker.
