A standard Roku remote is about 5.5 inches long, 1.7 inches wide, and 0.8 inches thick (140 x 42 x 20 mm). Roku lists that size for its Voice Remote, Players Remote, and Voice Remote Pro (2nd edition).
Two models run longer. The Roku TV Remote and the first Voice Remote Pro both measure 5.7 inches (145 mm). Weights range from 2.5 to 3 ounces (71 to 85 grams).

How long is a Roku remote in inches and centimeters?
Every Roku remote in the table is either 5.5 or 5.7 inches long. In metric terms, that is 14 cm or 14.5 cm.
The gap between the two lengths is 0.2 inches, or 5 mm. That small difference can still decide whether a fitted silicone case or a charging cradle works.
Roku remote size compared with everyday objects
A U.S. dollar bill measures 6.14 by 2.61 inches, according to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The 5.5-inch Roku Voice Remote is about 0.6 inches shorter than the bill and close to an inch narrower.
An AAA battery is 44.5 mm (1.8 inches) long, based on Roku’s own spec sheets. Three AAA cells laid end to end come to 133.5 mm, a little short of the 140 mm Voice Remote.
How much does a Roku remote weigh?
Roku lists weights from 2.5 ounces (71 g) for the Players Remote to 2.8 ounces (78 g) for the Voice Remote. Tom’s Guide recorded 3 ounces (85 g) for the Voice Remote Pro (2nd edition), the heaviest model in the current lineup.
Both Pro models use a built-in rechargeable battery. Nebraska Furniture Mart lists a 1600 mAh battery for the 2nd edition. The other three remotes run on two AAA cells.
Roku’s product pages do not state whether the listed weights include batteries. A Roku set-up sheet for the UK Roku Express 4K listed its remote at 49 g and a single AAA battery at 11 g.
Roku Voice Remote Pro size: 1st vs. 2nd edition
Roku cut the Voice Remote Pro’s length from 5.7 inches to 5.5 inches with the 2nd edition. Tom’s Guide measured the thickness change at 0.9 inches down to 0.8 inches.
The newer remote weighs more, at 3 ounces against 2.8 ounces. It also has one fewer button (23 versus 24).
The 2nd edition dropped the headphone jack and moved from Micro USB to USB-C charging. Roku says it has 50% more battery life than the original and typically lasts three months per charge.
Roku TV remote size vs. Roku player remote size
The Roku TV Remote (RCC1R) is the longest of the basic models at 5.7 inches. It has 21 buttons and works with all Roku TV models, but not with Roku players or audio devices.
The Roku Players Remote (RC1068) is 5.5 inches long and has 16 buttons. It works with most Roku players and audio devices, but not with Roku TV models. Roku sells both for $9.99.
The Roku Voice Remote fits all three device types. It shares the Players Remote’s 5.5-inch length and costs $19.99 on Roku’s U.S. site.
Regional differences in Roku remote dimensions
Roku’s UK store lists its Voice Remote (model RCA1EU) at 145 x 42 x 25 mm and 91 g. The U.S. RCA1R page shows 140 x 42 x 20 mm and 78 g.
Buyers outside the U.S. should check their local Roku spec page before ordering a case or mount.
Choosing a case or holder that fits your Roku remote size
Most Roku remotes share a width of about 1.7 inches, so many accessories fit more than one model. Fintie markets a single silicone case for the Voice Remote Pro (2nd edition) RCB1R, the Voice Remote RCA1R, and the older RCAL7R.
A remote caddy or wall holder needs at least 43 mm of inside width and 23 mm of depth to take any model in the table. For the 5.7-inch remotes, allow 145 mm or more of length.
Third-party replacement remotes for Roku devices come in many sizes. Check the seller’s listed dimensions before buying a case for one.
