Used to power on TV and stereo, and control volume of stereo. Works 100% as advertised. Nice to have a single remote.

Fits Amazon FireSticks as described.
Programming easy--instructions should have larger font for easier reading in low light.
Functions as described
Feels awkward in hand as too wide--needs better ergonomics

Must Have for Streaming TV Setups

The side click for the fire stick remote is the perfect companion. It also comes in other forms for various streaming sticks, such as the roku, apple tv, and nexus player. You can program each button on the side click with a specific button on any remote. The power button can power on your tv while the bottom "B" button can power on your sound bar. The volume up and down buttons can be programmed to the sound bar. The remote is a perfect accessory for any tv set up that only needs a few click between you and your streaming device.

I bought two of these. One for living room tv, and one for bedroom tv upstairs. They work well. Even used it at a hotel. Might have worked better if hurricane wasn’t going through at the time. Needs to have internet to work.

If you don't have a universal remote that does bluetooth and IR, this is a must for Kodi users. Very convinient and well implemented.

Albeit an overpriced addition to your FireStick, it's a wonderful add-on that eliminates the need for a second remote.

I love this device. Very simple and easier to program than other devices I’ve tried including my Harmony remote. Would definitely recommend. Only things I can complain about are having to get programming information from online, as it is not included. Since this is multi component programmable, honestly 2, 3, or even 6 more buttons to program would be even better!

I love my side lock as it allows you to control multiple devices. However, each button must be dedicated to a single device so you won't be able to program one button to control power on multiple devices for example.

We have been using the Sidekick for Apple TVs for awhile and like them a lot. They make the remote easier to hold and they add the additional functions meaning we don't have to use our "master" remote.
They're not as attractive as the Apple TV versions primarily because the Amazon Fire TV remote is quite a bit larger. Perhaps in the next version, they'll increase the size of the Sideclick so it will be better balanced.

Perfect option for us as it provides all the "main" functions (power, channel, volume etc) all right on one combined unit. It attaches to the side of the Amazon Fire remote so you can control both from one (combined) unit. One note that the Sideclick is programmed by learning from your existing TV remote, very simple process, no entering device/brand codes etc. to program.
The sideclick was totally unknown by me until the purchase checkout process suggested it. Kudos Best Buy for suggesting it.
