PDP Gaming Multipurpose Talon Media Remote
Staff Favorite
The PDP Talon Media Remote looks more like a universal remote than a dedicated Xbox remote. All the standard buttons you'd find on any remote are here — play, pause, stop, rewind, fast-forward, and more — but it's larger and has more dedicated buttons. Like most Xbox remotes, this one uses IR and has some limited TV control capabilities, and the soft touch coating makes it nice and grippy.$20 at Amazon

Inteset Universal IR Learning Remote
If you're looking for something that will control your Xbox console that also works with your other devices, the Inteset universal IR learning remote is perfect. It comes preset to use with an Xbox, which makes it incredibly easy to set up. Simply by pushing either the A, B, C, or D buttons, you can set up the remote to function for Apple TV, Xbox, Windows Media Center if you're still rocking one of those, and Roku, respectively, making it easy to switch back and forth between devices.$26 at Amazon
