In combo w/Roku controller and IR extender, this makes cord cutting just WORK

In combo w/Roku controller and IR extender, this makes cord cutting just WORK
We recently completely cut the cord, got rid of STB's and exited cable TV for YouTube TV. Up until now, our house has been littered with Harmony remotes…some IR, several Wi-Fi based. The latter always troublesome. We've had Roku sticks in all of our TV's for years, but the remotes are limited. Most can control a TV, but not a soundbar or amp. The challenge was to make this easy for my wife, who struggles with things that are very technical, including juggling remotes, changing inputs, etc. I had a new Sideclick purchased on sale 2 yrs ago, but never bothered to use until now. Well, it worked so nicely, I just bought 2 more and am likely to buy a couple more. The master bedroom was easy – just a TV plus soundbar now that the STB was gone. The Roku stick power button is programmed for the TV, the SideClick for the soundbar, with volume +/- and mute. I added black P-touch labels on the remotes to make it easy to see the button assignment. The family room was the trickiest to convert since we have a complex Yamaha multimedia amplifier. The amp is hidden inside a cabinet that has slotted doors. If you are sitting in the right place in the room, an IR remote will fire through the slots in the doors and the IR will activate the amplifier. But that doesn't work in the majority of the room from which we might wish to view, such as from the kitchen that overlooks the family room. We picked up an excellent IR remote extender and mounted the receiver on top of the TV. With the SideClick programmed for Amp power on/off, volume, sound mode, and mute, it perfectly complements the Roku remote that's programmed for TV power on/off. Very pleased and will purchase more. The only improvement I'd like to see is a mini 4-way rocker to navigating thru the amp or TV menus. But honestly, that needs to be done so rarely, it's not a biggie. Note: to program the Sideclick you MUST have your original IR remote, or a universal IR remote that's programmed with the functions you need. You have to use that to teach the SideClick the IR commands for each button using that IR remote.

    Wow. Possibly my favorite purchase on Amazon in 12 years.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2018

    This fits the remote well (roku 3800), was laughably easy to program, and really fills the gaps my remote has. I use my roku most often, so it will be great to not have my other two remotes on my couch all the time.

    The fit is great and feels about as natural as possible. I don't think they could've done any better. It came with 5 clips for whichever remote I might have. The battery cover might be a little awkward to open since I keep my nails short, but it's far from a deal breaker since it's not overly springy/stiff like many battery covers are.

    It has exactly enough buttons for my use with my roku 3800, Denon receiver, and Mitsubishi TV. I setup:
    1. Power on/select my receiver input hotkey
    2. Receiver volume up
    3. Receiver volume down
    4. TV input menu
    5. TV input highlight next down
    6. TV input enter
    7. Mute receiver
    8. Power off receiver
    (and the roku powers on/off the tv)

    I loathe universal remotes because they don't work well, are pre-programmed with set codes (and functions are often missing) and they're just not helpful. This seems like it isn't one of those old "learning remotes" that makes an educated guess from a pre-programmed set of codes, but genuinely copies the signal it receives. This is not a universal remote–it's a clean & simple, fully-customizable, modular remote. A great product that I happened to see someone mention on reddit recently, and it's very well executed.

    Genius!

    Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019

    Verified Purchase

    For years, I've had a Harmony remote that controlled everything. Unfortunately, some of the buttons are no longer responding. I see a lot of couches with 2, 3 ,4 remotes, and I just cannot abide by this. What's the point? How does one even watch a movie not knowing which remote controls volume….

    The Slideclick comes with several adaptors so it can attach to every Roku model that I'm aware of. There's a simple key to figure out which is which, so you don't have to think about it, and everything clicks into place.

    The Slideclick is a programmable remote, so once it's in Program mode, you face it to the remote you want to "replace" and press the key you want to program and the key that does what you want it to learn. Really simple.

    The Roku Ultra remote (not the Slideclick) has volume and power for the Television, but if you're like me, everything goes through a surround sound receiver. So power turns on the TV and volume does nothing. Then you need a second remote….
    Enter the Slideclick. I programmed the Power button to turn on the receiver. Volume up and down… duh. Channel up and down now switch between inputs so I can go to my Chromecast.
    It's a little bulky compared to the Roku remote on its own, but it's easy to get used to. Trimming down from two+ remotes to one is great, especially if you, like me, watch in a dimly lit room and need to either have a remote that's backlit or simple to tell by feel.
    It was easy to set up and easy to use. Highly recommended.

    My Other Remotes are in a Drawer

    Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2019

    Verified Purchase

    The problem is 1) a TV remote, 2) an AV receiver remote, and 3) a streaming device remote. To be able to turn everything on, control the volume , select which device to watch and to control what I'm watching took all three remotes. I considered a universal remote but the Roku remote is really a pretty good remote all by itself, and I didn't want to give it up.

    In comes the SideClick. This is just what I needed. It attaches securely to the Roku remote with the supplied clip and still fits pretty well in my hand. It was really quick and easy for it to learn the commands from my other remotes. I've been using it regularly for the last couple of weeks and it has worked flawlessly. No problem with battery life. It does cover the headphone jack on the Roku Ultra remote, but I rarely use this feature and if I do want to use it I can just slide the SideClick down a bit and there it is. I see some reviewers complain about the price, but I think it was $25 well spent. All in all it does everything I need it to with a couple of extra buttons to spare.

    Good unit with a minor problem

    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2025

    Verified Purchase

    Arrived on time. Easy to setup. Works as described. I have purchased several of the units over the years. They are all working great—with both Amazon and Roku remote controls, plus several others. Very handy to have both controls together. They work seamlessly together, because they are basically independent of each other The only reason for a four-star review is the strap that hold the two unit together. The strap fits under the main controller and is under constant tension—holding the two controllers together securely without encumbering the use of any of the buttons. However, after some period of time and battery changes, the strap cracks and breaks at the hinge line. Replacement straps cost about half as much as the unit’s initial cost (plus the additional costs for tax and shipping). The strap unit needs a stronger design. Will buy another one as required.

    Works with Bose Soundbar

    Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024

    Verified Purchase

    We have the Roku Express 4K stick and an older Bose soundbar hooked up to an LG tv. The Roku remote can control tv power and volume, but would not turn on or adjust the volume of the soundbar. The universal Bose remote would not control the Roku features, so we were stuck with 2 remotes. Enter Sideclick.

    Setup took about 10 minutes, and the instructions were easy. We programmed our Sideclick to control soundbar power and volume, since the Roku can already turn the TV on. You are given a few extra buttons to program, so we set them to change the TV’s source. This allows us to switch HDMI inputs if we want to console game, without having to fish out the old universal remote.

    I’d highly recommend this product if you want to reduce coffee table clutter, or the never ending search for the right remote.
