If you want a free Roku remote that's better than the one that they sell you, load the Roku official app onto your cell phone! This doesn't cost you anything, and allows you to type in titles and words for things you are searching for on your Roku.... It also allows you to activate your Roku audio on the cell phone, or headphone jack, if your cell phone has one.

The one thing it doesn't seem to do well is have voice operations for anything other than the Roku channel. I tried to find something I wanted on YouTube TV, which is an app that I pay for and use with my Roku Streaming Stick.
The voice commands did not work at all with YouTube TV, and yanked me out of the YouTube TV app and into the Roku app.... Which was not helpful, as I was looking for an MLB baseball game that I recorded on YouTube TV....
