Remote Functionality

Pros:

  • "The 'find my remote' feature is a timesaver!"
  • "Love the programmable buttons - set one for 'Max' since I watch it a lot."
  • "Just the fact that you could ask any of your Alexa devices to find the remote and the remote begins to alarm /sound off is a huge selling point for me!!!"
  • "The locating service is worth the price alone, I don't know how much time I spend trying to find remotes!"
  • "And the added blank buttons that allow you to program in what apps you want to open for personalization is a game changer."
  • "The best thing about this is the Bluetooth button."
  • "The lighted buttons are a plus."

Cons:

  • "Now it is super laggy and frustrating to use."
  • "However, it only worked for about 2 months. Now it doesn't beep at all!"
  • "Buttons are VERY small for normal hands !!"
  • "It eats through way too many batteries!!!"
  • "Exactly one month and two days after the remote arrived, it just stopped working."
  • "I'm noticing that the backlight eats through batteries like crazy."
  • "Well I bought this remote so that I could find it when it gets lost. It worked the first couple times, but after about 1 month it quit working."

Battery Life

Pros:

  • "I hope this one last long but the set up process was as simple as just placing the batteries in the remoteπŸ™ŒπŸΎ!!"
  • "I don’t have to worry about losing it anymore as I can ask Alexa and she rings it for me to find."
  • "The first thing I did was test the 'find my remote'. It was fantastic and a feature I will surely use often."
  • "From a setup and config standpoint, quick and easy."
  • "This product connected quick and easy. Works perfect."
  • "The remote finder is probably the best feature."
  • "All that for around $25. You cannot beat it."

Cons:

  • "This thing will drink up batteries very quickly."
  • "In the past three months we have changed the batteries 2 to 3 times each month."
  • "Don’t spend extra money getting the version to help find it when lost."
  • "1) battery life is terrible. Constantly changing batteries."
  • "It just seems like Amazon makes these cheaply and are definitely not make to last."
  • "I will say that overall it seems to be made better than the standard remote."
  • "It has lit keys! Something actually SMART about a remote."

Design and Build Quality

Pros:

  • "The remote has a very solid feel, better than any of the other FireTV remotes we have."
  • "The remote also seems to be more responsive and faster than the regular firestick controller."
  • "It is the best purchase I’ve made recently."
  • "The next was the backlighting. Again, a godsend."
  • "Nice remote. Like the lighted keypad, programmable buttons (2), and audible sound to find when it ends up between couch cushions."
  • "This remote also has back lit keys so you won’t be fumbling around in a dark room trying to make sure you’re hitting the correct buttons."
  • "I debated whether to spend the money for this remote. I shouldn't have waited so long. This is the best remote you can get."

Cons:

  • "The center navigation button is positioned awkwardly and the size of the remote is not suitable for a larger hand."
  • "I wish it was not on remote what I wish for is an easier way to type in requests."
  • "This remote, although virtually the same design with the same rounded bottom, the plastic is noticeably less slippery and the buttons are more tactile."
  • "This remote drains batteries very quickly."
  • "The remote is just too cluttered. You need the back lite in the dark, as there are just too many buttons."
  • "After about 7 or 8 months of use this remote rarely works at all."
  • "I am SO disappointed about the pre-programmed buttons."
