Visually impaired support with remotes that have larger buttons?

Jump to solution

My mother is 82 and her vision is impaired.  Current remotes have buttons too small.  She needs a remote with larger defined buttons and the microphone feature.

Does Roku's response mean, "No," Roku does not offer a remote for the visually impaired, or older or other folks who have disabilities for whom a larger remote would work.  Seems there is a large market for this, given the aging population. It would be great if Roku produced such a remote to go with their products.  Thank you.

Right, Roku does not have remotes for visually impaired people, all Roku remotes have the same size keys no matter what model of Roku remote you have, sorry. Any remote will bigger keys is an aftermarket  universal remote.
