FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 18, 2026 — QuickRemote for Roku, the leading Windows desktop utility for Roku device management, is proud to announce the immediate availability of version 1.2.2. This update focuses on streamlining the user experience through a completely redesigned "Tabbed" interface and the addition of direct TV input switching.
Version 1.2.2 is designed with productivity in mind, ensuring that the most common remote functions are always just a click away without the need for vertical scrolling.
What's New in v1.2.2:
- Compact Tabbed Layout: The interface is now divided into three logical sections: Roku (Navigation & Media), Channels (Launch shortcuts), and Inputs (TV Controls).
- Eliminated Scrolling: By segmenting the UI, users no longer need to scroll through long lists of buttons. Everything fits perfectly in a compact Windows window.
- Direct Input Switching: For Roku TV users, specific buttons for HDMI 1, HDMI 2, AV, and Live TV are now available directly within the "Inputs" tab.
- Optimized Performance: Further refinements to the application's memory footprint and response time when switching between multiple devices.
"Our goal with version 1.2.2 was to make the remote feel like a native part of the Windows desktop," said the development lead. "Users shouldn't have to fiddle with scrollbars on a remote control. By moving to a tabbed design, we've made the experience faster, more intuitive, and aesthetically cleaner."
The version 1.2.2 update is a free upgrade for all existing users and is available now through the Microsoft Store.
