But if you are in the market for one, and care about parental controls, I would recommend buying the longer 8BitDo remote with the number pad.
I bought the shorter 8bitDo remote without a number pad (even though it was more expensive than the bigger one at the time, cause I figured the smaller one will be more convenient). I regret that decision now, and it's too late to return it.
There are two issues - if you are using a number lock on the Xbox startup log in screen, you cannot enter the number without the actual controller. So I have to go pick up the controller, log in, turn it off and then use the remote. Xbox UI doesn't allow you to navigate to the numbers with the remote. 8BitDo remote has the ABXY buttons but it does not have the trigger buttons, so you cannot punch in all digits.
The second issue is that on most streaming apps, if you lock out profiles via a number lock, without having numbers on the remote you have to navigate to the numbers and press enter; which makes the code decipherable. On remotes with numbers on it you can simply enter the number without your choices showing up on screen.
Again - this is an issue only applicable to folks who care about parental controls. But thought I'll share my experience in case anyone finds it helpful.

Yep, the Series X/S have a IR receiver (but not an emmitter like previous models) so it's line-of-sight for all remotes.
I'm assuming the official Xbox remote can also establish a BLE connection like the Xbox controller?
Curious about this too. I bought a media remote recently and was super excited until I realize not only its line of sight but the bullseye is microscopic and hard to even find. Stupid and super disappointing
I purchased this remote for my Xbox Series S. The Xbox is located behind my wall-mounted TV in my bedroom, and the remote's RF transmitter has no issues with the line of sight, even though the Xbox is totally obstructed by the TV.

I'm just going by Best buy reviews as I believe insignia is their brand. Not only did reviewers complain about the aiming nuisance but it was also listed as a con on their pros and cons list.
I will say, however, based on the photos, this looks like it's a variation on the Amazon FireTV remote. Which means tiny little buttons, so unless you have hands the size of a 5-year old, you're probably going to end up hitting a lot of wrong buttons unintentionally.

I like that this isn't backlit, especially not motion activated like the PDP or 8bitdo, so batteries never drain for no reason. The simpler the better for something like this IMO. There's a different simple remote all over the internet that LOOKS nicer than this one but the "Back" button is in a TERRIBLE spot. Also it trades the rwd/stop/ff line of buttons for ABXY. Not great for disc playback.
The 8bitdo has ABXY along with the other buttons but the layout looks pretty crowded. After testing Blu-ray playback to see that ABXY isn't necessary I decided better battery life and simpler layout was worth more to me than the extra buttons so i went with the Insignia remote. I got it for $15 and it definitely feels like a $10 remote but for turning an Xbox into a usable 4k Blu-ray Disc player this is my pick for the best option currently available.
