X15 Remote is HORRIBLE and very hard to use.

I cannot believe that someone actually designed the XR15 remote and thought is was functional.  If you have the slightest bit of arthritis you cannot use this remote.  The buttons are so hard to use. The remote is just HORRIBLE!  What was wrong with the XR11?  NOTHING.  IF IT ISN'T BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT!

@user_dpustt I can completely understand where you are coming from with this, and your feedback on your experience with the XR-15 remote is very important to us. We try to ensure the equipment we provide works for a wide range of people, and that includes the remotes! I personally love the design of the XR-15 remote, but can definitley see where you are coming from as well as it is very different from the previous XR-11 remotes. Did you used to have one of our XR-11 remotes and found that worked better for you? Would something like our large button remote be an even better option for you that you'd be interested in? This could be a great alternative if you have arthritis! If you were curious what that looks like you can find it closer to the bottom of our Xfinity remote control quick reference guide to confirm if you'd prefer something like that instead.

 

We do have options on our to ship out different remotes if you need, depending on the model, so if you'd be interested in a new one, just send us a direct message and we'd love to ensure you have one that fits your needs perfectly! To send a direct message, please click on the chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen, and select "Xfinity Support" to initiate a live chat.

I went to the Xfinity store and requested the XR 11 and they said they did not have any and that it was no longer an option

@user_dpustt Our stores only carry specific equipment, so they may be limited on that end. But, we can make a request directly from our warehouse to have an XR11 sent and if there are any available it will be sent your way! The large button remote is also one we keep plenty in stock for, so if you wanted to go the route of trying that one, our amazing Accessibility Support Center would be able to help get you set up with one.
