No, not all Roku remotes have a pairing button. Standard IR (infrared) remotes that come with some Roku models do not require pairing, whereas enhanced “point-anywhere” remotes do. To identify a remote with a pairing button, check for a button located in the battery compartment. If your Roku model came with an IR remote but you need the functionality of an enhanced remote, you can purchase it separately and pair it with your device.
