I think this is well worth the price if you need a multimedia remote instead of using your controllers.
Pros:- price: i paid right around $20usd for it.
Not a huge deal unless you are fumbling with it in the dark.

Competitiveness
The overall build of the remote is a lot better than the pdp offering.
The 8bitdo media remote is the best option to use with xbox consoles.
I got myself a “nemesis media remote” before i purchased this one, and it was awful in comparison.
Microsoft should either start licensing 3rd party bluetooth products, or make a bluetooth media remote themselves.
