Amazon - Alexa Voice Remote Pro for Fire TV (does not include FireTV stick) with remote finder, TV controls, and backlit buttons - Black

I bought the Fire TV Remote for one of the Fire Sticks in the house, and let me tell you, it's a definite lifesaver. It set up incredibly quick, its response time to button pushes is unbelievable, and the features (especially the backlit buttons) are remarkable. It definitely took all of the guess work out of the Fire TV experience.

Chances are that some or all of these features might be Region specific. Check your region before buying. The 3 features that sold me on this remote are: 1. In-app Remote Finder - It was used to find the remote in the couch. There are no Settings to change for this feature. When pressed ALL of the buttons on the remote flash. That's awesome. 2. Bluetooth Headphone Button - When you press it, it shows up on any screen. It's a good feature if you have to use headphones after you start watching something, so you don't have to get out of the app & go to Settings. 3. Automatic Light-up Buttons - When in dim lightning, the buttons light-up automatically. I tested it out. I shook the remote in a dark hallway & it lit up. In a lighted bathroom, I shook the remote again it did not light up. The 1 head-sctatching feature that doesn't make sense is: The DirectTV Shortcut Button - It should be for an app that most people would use, like YouTube.

This remote works exactly as described. I have the Toshiba 70 inch TV and our remote was lost. Needed a replacement and the options online are sketchy. We decided this was a safe try. Purchased and as soon as we brought it home we were going to read the instructions but hit the power button and it tuned on automatically. We didn’t have to program it or anything! I don’t regret this at all. Best experience when in a timely matter. The battery’s have lasted and the remote works great!

The keypad has become quite cluttered. They should have moved the volume/mute to the side. That way you're not guessing where it is or eyeballing all those buttons to see it. Mute button is slightly concave, but not enough that my calloused thumb can discern the difference. The back light works well. We haven't tried the locate or headphone options. I'd recommend waiting for a sale because retail price seems a bit much for what you're getting. One mind bender is that the volume control on the remote it is replacing is to the Center of the volume control and on this remote it buried on the Left. So some reflex retraining is definitely required. Is it too much to ask for some consistency ? I kind of wish they'd do away with the pre-programmed jump buttons altogether or make ALL of them programmable. They don't match our subscriptions or anyone else's. Haha (no emojis allowed).

Best remote of any tv I have ever used! It is so easy to use and battery life lasts forever! Not to mention I can just tell the remote what I want to watch AND see in the dark what buttons I am hitting on movie nights! Definitely recommend!
