    Gotta say is my prefer control when I use my nvidia shield, love the led lightning motion sensor. The fact that uses AAA battery is a good thing, course it would be even better if it was also rechargeable. But not a big deal for me works just great.

    Replacement Remote for Nvidia Shield

    Good replacement remote. Make sure you set the volume in the Shield so that you can use your TV remote to adjust the volume to your desire. Remote is sensitive; you can accidentally press the dedicated Netflix button without much effort.

    Works much better than the previous generation remote. Only minor issue is I'll accidentally press netflix button while picking it up weirdly often...otherwise works perfectly.

    I got the 2017 version of the Nvidia Sheld, and I like it, but I didn't like how quickly the batteries died in the remote. This remote has more features with it, and going from the CR2032 batteries to the AAA is great change. Programming was easy and simple and took no time.

    I love the original Shield remote but after a few years the internal battery will no longer hold a charge or in the case of the removable battery spare I had, stopped working entirely. Either way I eventually had to buy this version and although I am NOT a fan of the triangular design I do like everything else about the remote. The best part is the switch to a single double A battery. This ensures I wont have any more issues like I have in the past. I also like the programmable keys. Overall if you have an Nvidia Shield TV then you will like this remote.

    I've only used the Nvidia streaming device in my house. I have 3 total and had never had issues with slow connection. And having a spare remote is a huge plus. Especially since I've dropped mine quite a few times on the floor.

    Huge Upgrade for New and Older Sheilds

    Purchased this remote to replace the factory small remote for a Shield 2017 model. The remote is better in every way. Better ergonomics, better battery technology using commonly available batteries, better button layout, and more direct access hard buttons. Just be aware that if you have multiple Shield TV streamers in the house, you'll have to make sure when pairing that it does not get paired to more than one Shield. Realized that when pairing, it paired with a second Shield in the house and was controlling both until we unpaired it from the 2nd unit.

    Should've been the original 2015 remote

    Got this for my 2015 Shield. I also have 2019 Shield & 2019 Pro Shield so I already knew what I was getting. Definitely worth the $30 if you are still using the old rechargeable style. Everything about this new remote is better. This is the remote that should've been standard from the beginning.

    Love this remote, such an upgrade over the bundled one. Only gripe was the large Netflix button you can’t disable.

    Works great with my 2015 Shield that cam sans remote. More convenient than the original remote in many ways, and more convenient than using the game controllers for streaming videos. The shape feels good in the hands.

    While not perfect, this remote is MUCH better than the one that comes with the Shield. The Netflix button is way too easy to push and it takes some getting used to the shape. The battery cover is also annoying to take off, but it does have good battery life. Overall, a good replacement for the awful stock remote.
