Our take on the TERK Rechargeable 4-Device Backlit Universal Remote

The TERK Rechargeable 4-Device Backlit Universal Remote is a budget universal remote that controls up to four devices over IR, with a fully backlit keypad and quick-access app keys for Apple TV and Roku. It works with TVs and satellite/cable boxes and is rated to respond from over 40 feet. It suits households that want one backlit, rechargeable remote for a TV plus a streaming box and a cable or satellite box, and it undercuts most universal remotes with backlighting and a rechargeable battery on features per dollar.

Questions and answers

Is the TERK remote worth buying?
It is a cheap way to replace several remotes with one backlit, rechargeable unit. Expect basic IR control rather than advanced features.
How many devices can it control?
Up to four. That covers a typical setup like a TV, a cable or satellite box, and a streaming device.
Does it work with Apple TV and Roku?
Yes. It has quick-access keys for favorite apps on Apple TV and Roku, and it also supports TERK devices.
How do I charge it?
It has a built-in rechargeable battery, so you recharge it instead of swapping in AA or AAA cells. The listing does not specify the charging cable, so check the box contents.
Does it need line of sight?
Yes. It controls devices over IR, so it must point at the device and cannot work through cabinet doors.
How does it compare with a Harmony-style universal remote?
It is far simpler: four devices, IR only, no activities or app-based programming. That makes it easier to set up but less capable with complex multi-device setups.
Where is the TERK Rechargeable 4-Device Backlit Universal Remote cheapest?
At Mercari, for $8.00, 62% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
