A larger remote w/large letters & labeled buttons for Seniors & physically challenged

Hi...I hope this is the correct area for this request.

A conversation with my sister sparked an idea for what I believe is a genuine need:  A Roku remote designed for Seniors and physically impaired individuals.  I am confident several Roku customers fall into one or both categories.

  • larger remote body so it is easier to hold
  • larger buttons w/the same images on them but clearly labeled above or below each
  • volume & mute buttons on the top, clearly labeled
  • battery compartment ribbon pulls or similar, attached to the battery door & under batteries making it easier to open & change batteries

I sincerely appreciate any time & attention given to this request.  Thank You...volleydrummer.

Re: A larger remote w/large letters & labeled buttons for Seniors & physically challenged

This accessible remote is not only needed, most all other companies have an alternate accessible remote. Roku’s remote has very small buttons, the volume/mute buttons are poorly placed as picking up the remote usually clicks on the mute button. I will have to throw away both my Roku devices and go with a company that actually cares about elderly and handicapped customers.
