Roku was spotted testing out a new remote through its Early Access Program that brings some noteworthy additions. The Roku Voice Remote Pro has features like a rechargeable battery, lost remote control finder, hands-free voice, private listening via an audio jack, and, most importantly, customizable shortcuts. The last one is especially attractive to us.

When asked to comment about the leaked ad, Roku told The Streamable“We’re always working on bringing new products and features to Roku users, and part of that process is publicly testing new ideas with a small set of our customers.”

The ad states the remote costs US$29.99 and will ship on February 19. But users said the offer is on backorder or has disappeared for them entirely.
