Roku s remote hardly changed over the years: It s got the same color scheme and button, and you still have to supply your own batteries. While not much is changing on the former, Roku does finally appear to be working on a rechargeable remote.
As spotted by Reddit, Zatz Not Funny and The Streamable, Roku is in the process of testing a new Voice Remote Pro. Although not yet widely offered, the new remote has been made available to some Roku users for $30 as part of its Early Access Program.
