Last month Roku officially announced the new Roku Pro Remote 2 that was first spotted in testing last fall. This new remote will make it easy for you to upgrade your old Roku TV or Roku Player with a new powerful remote with new features.
This new remote will include motion-activated backlit buttons, so it knows when you pick it up to turn on the backlight. The old micro-USB charging port has been replaced with USB-C.
The new Roku Pro Remote 2 also includes a dedicated guide button bringing you to the Roku Guide to access your OTA Antenna and streaming channels from The Roku Channel in a single location.
Two programable buttons have been replaced with a single button—now with a rocket ship. This button can be used to open your favorite app making it a quick way to jump right to the two Roku apps you use most often.
You can find this remote on Amazon HERE.
So, is it worth upgrading to this remote? Here is our full review on YouTube:
This new remote will be included with the new Roku Pro TVs and will also be available for sale to replace older Roku remotes.
This new remote features many requests from Roku’s most dedicated fans. USB-C and backlit buttons will make many fans happy. The loss of one of the programmable buttons though will be missed by many.
