Remote worked as expected. Has an easy (and familiar) code setup procedure. Being able to physically attach a fire remote is a clever idea. So far, it's worked with every device I tried. Only negative is that the buttons are a bit small. However, I like the feel of the remote in my hand. Time will tell if the conductive keypad will last.

Great universal remote to work with a fire stick. Was able to pair it easily with a DVD player, an old sharp led tv, and a very old Denon A/V receiver (1604). Couldn't find full functionality for the receiver, but have enough for power, volume, switching between most inputs, etc. Denon remote was finally having some issues, so went with a universal to streamline the process. Glad I did. Having the full fire remote in the same package is slightly bulky, but much preferred for ease of usability. Happy with this one over a plain universal remote.

Most of the time when you buy a universal remote control setup can be difficult but not with this item. Setup was simple. I have a LG Tv and along with a LG blu ray player plus Xfinity X1 cable box setup could not have been any easier. I also have a Fire Stick Max and the remote fits perfectly in back of remote. If I had one request I wish it was backlight but for the price I would definitely buy again.

Just what I needed. I tried to order one from Amazon (for a dollar or 2 higher than Best Buy) but they were sold out.
The remote is not nearly as clunky or busy as I had imagined. Our family is always losing fire stick remotes or at least the battery covers, and this remote indirectly solved that issue as a bonus benefit. It fits well and is easy to find after being swallowed by a couch. Also, it navigates well and I got used to the buttons quickly. I would recommend it for sure.

Well my fire stickg 4K Max did fit into the unit, I was not satisfied with the overall performance. Programming the unit was a bit awkward but I did finally get it to the point where it was usable, but I was hoping for more than usable. Therefore, I returned the unit.

Works well. Will only hold a certain Firestick remote though you don’t need one. You can control tv and Firestick with this one remote which is great. You can also control dvd players, surround sound, etc. If you’ve lost or damaged a Firestick remote, this one is probably the best substitute. Oh, you have to have a micro screwdriver to remove the battery cover, unless you’re just going to pull through the screws.

The device is very handy. I am able to keep up with my Firestick remote now. It would have been nice if it lit up when you press the buttons so you can see it in the dark.

This universal remote was easily programmed for my cable. DVD. Receiver and tv. The best part is having the fire stick remote attached to the back. Love having one remote that was under 30 bucks.

It has been very functional and practical for my family. It has allowed us to have a universal remote on one side and the fire stick on the other side. No longer need to keep track of 2 different remotes!

This remote is almost perfect. Setup was a bit tricky but once it was done, I’m amazed. It pulls up full menu controls for my tv and my DVD player that no other universal remotes could handle. It increases the size of my Fire Stick so that it will be much easier to keep track of. After years, I have finally been able to put all the other remotes in the cabinet. Highly recommend!
