Review: Sofabaton keeps getting better - Before purchasing this Sofabaton X1S, I was a satisfied customer of their earlier U1 universal remote. Part of the reason for my satisfaction was the excellent support they provided. Some of my equipment was old, and it wasn't in the Sofabaton database. When I asked for help, they responded right away and entered the data, and it worked. They were a pleasure to work with. I was able to set my U1 control for my Samsung TV, Nakamichi receiver, and Oppo Blu-ray player. I set "activities" for playing a CD, using the Bluray and the receiver, and for watching TV with AppleTV, with the audio piped through the receiver. The one thing I couldn't do is connect to my Sonos Port. I hoped that the next version would be able to control the Sonos as well. When Sofabaton offered me a rebate on the X1S if I agreed to review it, I jumped at the chance. So far, I have had a couple small problems configuring my devices, but was able to work through them with the help built into the Sofabaton app. You do the configuring -- and also testing -- directly through the app, and then that syncs with the remote. Currently, my Sofabaton X1s has absorbed the controls for my TV, AppleTV, Nakamichi receiver, Oppo Bluray, Sangean HD radio, and (sort of) Sonos Port. The X1S works for me a little better than the U1. When I was setting it up, the default menu picks seemed to lead me straight to good settings. With the earlier U1 model, I recall having to do more customization to get things set the way I wanted, adding or changing commands for individual keys. That capability is still present, though, if I need it. I like the new version of the physical remote control better than the U1, because the more rectangular X1S seems more stable in my hand. It feels well-built, and the screen is easy to read. The only thing I would change is that the two little buttons at the very top ("off" and "<-") are slightly awkward for me to reach without shifting the remote in my hand; it would work better for me if these were on either side of the roller ball in the middle of the remote. It's really nice to be able to control several devices with one remote. This time my "Big Screen" activity just came together better than on the U1, and pressing "off" on the remote reliably turns off both TV and receiver. This time, I didn't need to configure a pause between powering the receiver and selecting the input, and it seems to just work. When I start the activity, it turns on the TV, receiver and the AppleTV, and sets the receiver's input to Video. The remote basically controls the TV (and the AppleTV through the TV), except for the volume and muting, which control the Nakamichi receiver. Then I edited the mute button to control the TV -- so I can easily swap between the TV audio and receiver audio, which is handy when I have the receiver going through my headphones. It's easy to edit the buttons in the Sofabaton app. For the Oppo Bluray, somehow I didn't get a working disc eject button, but I was able to select a button and explore a couple settings and quickly found one that works. With my TV, there were two database entries, and I wasn't sure which was correct. The first one worked great except for powering off. The Sofabaton app allowed me to troubleshoot that button, and the first or second suggestion for a change turned out to be the right one. (There are several versions of my LG TV). I found the menus mostly easy to understand. There were a couple places where I wasn't sure which way to go, but I tried a couple things and quickly worked it out. It's not perfect, but it's good, especially when considering the complexity of all the different devices and configurations available. I know that if I ever do get stuck, I can ask Sofabaton for help again, and they will quickly and cheerfully get me unstuck. My hope was to have a physical remote control for my Sonos Port, allowing me to cycle through my saved stations in the Port's app. I couldn't get that to work, but that would be a pretty tall order. The Sofabaton app lets you configure the inputs for a device in several different ways. You can work with devices that have physical buttons (like 1, 2, 3... as with my HD radio) or an "Input" button and then "Next". But the Sonos has no physical controls, and it doesn't seem to have any "hooks" into the app for selecting my stations. What I could do, though, was set the Sofabaton to control my Sonos Port (via bluetooth), and by default, the "next" button triggers the next selection in whatever channel I currently have in the Sonos app. Not bad. I think the X1S is well-designed and well-thought-out and well-executed. I would recommend it to my friends who are into tech. Looking over my comments, I would say that the X1S is not perfection, but it seems about as close as I'll find in any remote that can accommodate all the different devices and use cases that are out there -- with built-in features for fixing and customizing device profiles. I have not mentioned some of the advanced features that I don't yet use, such as integration with Alexa and Google Assistant. I just discovered the "Find my remote" feature (in the app, under Settings): I pushed the button upstairs, and followed the loud beeps to locate the remote, downstairs. I just noticed a feature in the app called "API interface". So there's more to explore, when I have time. Review: **AVOID, READ EDIT** Needs more development (software) & battery life is not good - Okay first off. Not sure if this remote listing says touch screen or not, but the review does. That said, THIS DOES NOT HAVE A TOUCH SCREEN. You control the screen with the wheel directly below it. I actually prefer this, so I'm not upset about this part. Secondly, the software, is not the most intuitive & for sure needs more time in the oven per se. This remote has some serious limitations regarding Roku Ultra. There are two ways to add the Roku Ultra to your remote's hub, either by IR or by WiFi. You DO NOT get the same feature sets using either of them. The IR profile is not able to use the programable shortcuts you can select in the top screen, this is strictly reserved for the WiFi profile. The trade off is that there is a hold function of the "OK/Enter/Select" button of the Roku remote that allows you to pull up hidden submenus within applications, while in WiFi profile, you cannot add this function to the profile as you can only add functions to a profile via the IR profile. This also means that the "*" button is not programmable on the WiFi profile either, so you lose the ability to access an "Options" menu of the Roku itself. Essentially, you'll lose functionality of the remote using either profile, it just depends on what you can live with or not. Thirdly, SofaBaton advertises this remote to have about a 2 month battery charge. Since I've bought this, I've cycled thru this battery 1.5x & we still have 2wks before we hit 2mos since I rcvd this remote. It is set on the shortest illumination setting, but I noticed it regularly syncs w/ the hub, even when there is no need to do so. I believe this extra syncing is causing the remote to use more power than anticipated, which probably could be resolved with a firmware update to the hub and/or remote. I do like this remote build quality & concept, but there are features that I expected to be there based on the price of this unit, & being that there are significant limitations of this remote & they were not advertised prior to my purchase, I do feel like SofaBaton is scamming their customers or at least lying by omission of the truth. That said, I cannot recommend this remote, unless they somehow rectify these issues. Edit: SofaBaton only offered to refund my product. However, their stipulation was to remove or edit my review to a 5 star rating in order to receive my full refund. Since it had been over 30 days for the desertcart Return Policy by the time I reviewed this product, I told SofaBaton to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine for trying to hold my refund hostage for a quid pro quo. Unfortunately for them, I’m petty too. Suck on a long, fat one, SofaBaton. ## Features - 【Upgraded SofaBaton X1S Universal Remote】Compared to the previous SofaBaton X1 smart remote, the upgraded SofaBaton X1S universal remote enhances performance and compatibility.

But as time has gone on, the scroll wheel is TERRIBLE. I scroll and scroll and scroll - sometimes scrolling fast, other times as slow as I can go - and the wheel doesn't move to the selections on the screen. The last couple of months it's started to drive me crazy. Also, most of the time it won't even scroll the direction I need it to go. I scroll up, it drops down; I scroll down, it goes up. It's got to the point where most of the time if I need to change from Watch TV to Play Disc or Play Games, I will just go on the app and click the activity I need. That way I don't go insane trying to scroll for 2 minutes just to move up or down one selection. That being said, everything else has been working flawlessly. I hope they fix the scroll wheel issue in the upcoming X2 being that it's a touch screen. We'll see how that turns out. Sofabaton really is the best universal remote system out there, as it so easily combines all of my devices into an incredibly easy setup. I have it connected to my TV, an Xbox, a Nintendo Switch, Sonos soundbar, 4k blu-ray player, and a Roku. It's just so easy to set up every device and customize the remote exactly how you want. I hope they fix the issues I have with the X2, but it sure looks like I'm gonna have to save up some money to get it because it seems to be about twice the price as the X1S **ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW** I have had 3 Sofabaton remotes now, the U1, the X1 and now the X1S. The X1 was really great and definitely replaced my old Logitech nicely, however, I did have some initial setup issues and intermittent drop outs. With the X1S, I immediately see the upgrades. The setup was fast and worked exactly how it should have. The new remote is also great so far. It seems more responsive, the font is more aesthetically pleasing and the backlit keys are welcome. Sofabaton is the best system I have found since Logitech got out of the game. It is very customizable, easy to figure out and just seems to plain work. If you ever have an issue, it's easy to pop right into the app and fix it. Love these remotes and they seem to only keep getting better. ## Frequently Bought Together - SofaBaton X1S Universal Remote Control with Hub and APP Setting, Smart All in One Remote with Customize One-Touch Activities, Compatible with 500,000+ IR/Bluetooth/WiFi Devices/Alexa/Google Assistant - Roku Ultra 2024 - Ultimate Streaming Player - 4K Streaming Device for TV with HDR10+, Dolby Vision & Atmos - Bluetooth & Wi-Fi 6- Rechargeable Voice Remote Pro with Backlit Buttons - Free & Live TV --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/611466513-sofabaton-x1s-universal-remote-control-with-hub-improved-scroll-smart](https://www.desertcart.at/products/611466513-sofabaton-x1s-universal-remote-control-with-hub-improved-scroll-smart) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
