Will this remote work with my Roku?

It is made for Roku streaming players and Roku TVs that use the 3801UK-RCU remote. Check your device's model page for voice remote support before buying.

Does it need to be paired?

Yes. Most Roku players pair it over the wireless remote link, usually by holding a button during setup. Older IR-only players use it without pairing but lose voice features.

Can it control my TV's power and volume?

Only if your Roku device and setup support TV control and the remote has those buttons. This model is focused on streaming functions like play, browse and app launch.

What comes in the box?

You get the remote and the batteries needed to start it. Pairing instructions appear on screen when you first use it.

Is it cheaper around Black Friday?

Roku accessories sometimes get small discounts during holiday sales, but the savings on a remote are limited. Waiting is only worth it if you are not in a hurry.

It is in line with what official Roku voice remotes usually cost. Buy it if you want voice search or need a replacement; otherwise a basic remote is cheaper.

Our take on the Roku 3801UK-RCU Voice Streaming Remote Control

This is Roku's voice remote, the replacement remote sold for Roku streaming players and TVs that use the 3801UK-RCU model. It adds voice search and app launch on top of standard play and browse buttons, so you can say a title or actor instead of typing it out. It is an official Roku part, so pairing and setup are straightforward, and it sits in line with what official Roku voice remotes usually cost.
