    This remote will not control your fire stick!! It just has a handy slot built in to the back of it to slide your original fire stick remote into it.

    A waste

    …a real waste of technological resources. This does almost nothing. If you do better with or are less likely to lose a larger remote rather than a smaller remote, perhaps you can find a use case. Other than that, it isn’t worth it.

    Overall it's good. I just don't like the side buttons that I'm constantly pressing by accident. Otherwise, it's a great way to have just one remote for both my Fire TV and my other AV devices.

    On the tin this isn't bad. It's just something I do not recommend cause your remote doesn't need a sleeve. If it was a real remote i would give it a better rating. Simply just stay away.
