The Roku Pro remote was already one of the best, most user friendly remotes on the market. The layout and tactile, soft touch buttons are just about perfect. I love the volume rocker and mute button on the side of the remote. The hands-free voice search is top-notch and responsive as soon as you say “Hey Roku”.
Now with the second edition, they added motion sensing backlit buttons which are very well executed. It’s almost mesmerizing seeing the colorful buttons light up as soon as you grab the remote, including the purple D-pad. Also the addition of USB-C for charging and a bigger battery for much better battery life are huge improvements. The only trade-offs that I noticed was the omission of the private listening headphone jack (which I hardly ever used) in order to make the remote a bit slimmer, and one less customizable button than the first edition. They replaced the other customizable button with a guide button, which is useful for me because I use The Roku Channel Guide all the time. The sole customizable button is now marked as a rocket ship on the remote.
Overall, very satisfied with this upgrade.

Pros: USB-C charging
50% Larger Internal Battery Capacity.
Backlight on buttons for easy night viewing.
Voice detection without having to press an
action button.
Easily programmable shortcut button.
Live TV Guide button.
Remote Control Firmware Upgrades.
Cons: No Headphone port like the previous model.
No power brick included to charge remote.
The remote control is easily setup via the Roku menu settings. It pairs up in seconds with very little effort. It is lightweight and the buttons are responsive and have a nice soft feel to them. No headphone jack is included for private listening, but you can use the Roku mobile app for that.
It includes four streaming presets and a programmable preset button. There is a button on the side that keeps the microphone on in case you want a more handsfree experience. I'm sure keeping that on will use more battery. Charging for the remote is not especially quick, but after a week of use I am still at over a 90% charge.
I would recommend this remote if you are a heavy Roku user. This remote is an improvement over the previous version and I love the USB-C charging capabilities because I always have an extra USB-C cable available.
