Replacing a Roku Remote? Check the Exact Product
Roku identifies voice remotes by a voice button; without one, it calls the remote simple. “Simple” includes Players and TV remotes, and voice features vary by model. Roku’s identification guide
Its Players Remote uses infrared and must point at the Roku device; Voice Remote is described as wireless for streaming-device control. This does not establish how TV buttons communicate. Roku’s product page
Roku says Players Remote fits most players/audio devices, but excludes Roku TVs and Streaming Stick models 3400, 3420, 3430, 3500, 3600, 3800, 3810, 3811, 3820, 3821, 3830 and 3840.
Before ordering, match the exact device model, remote product and desired features to current Roku documentation; leave undocumented compatibility unresolved.
