Customers are saying

Customers highly value the ease of use and the ability to control multiple devices with this universal remote attachment. Many appreciate its compatibility with various TV and sound systems, as well as its simple yet effective design. However, some customers find the size and price to be drawbacks, and a few wish for more buttons. The programmable buttons are a plus for many users.

    I purchased the remote thinking I could use it as tv remote for aux settings because mine was misplaced but you need th television remote to program it so it is totally useless for me.

    This is probably not what you want! There are Eight buttons that can be programmed. It will not replace most remotes. I had trouble getting it to read my Sony remote.

    It was good initially. When I tried removing it to replace the remote batteries the holder broke. So now i can't attach it and have to use it as a separate remote which defeats the purpose.

    This device would get a higher rating if it also had a way to auto find IR codes. That coupled with remote learning and a different way to hold the device would be a game changer.

    I have followed the directions in trying to pair it with my remote and it is not working so far. I followed the directions and nothing. So now I need to see if there is another way to see if I can get it to work.

    Not worth the money. Makes the unit to bulky. Unreliable set up. Doesn't match with some cable boxes. Absolutely a waste.

    I couldn’t get it to work. It could be user error but I tried several days and nothing. Didn’t find it useful at all.

    There is nothing necessarily wrong with the product itself. It just has minimal functionality. It cannot replace a full fledged universal remote.

    The Sideclick seemed like it would be helpful, but in fact it mostly added bulk to the otherwise sleek Fire stick remote.

    No Customer Service from Sideclick - Overall Poor

    I tried contacting and emailing the company for assistance in pairing it with my OLED 2019 tv because I was experiencing many technical difficulties with pairing with my remote and got no response. Plus, the overall quality of the accessory is poor, in my opinion. When added to an Amazon Alexa remote, it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing.

    This item is a totally unnecessary purchase. Had I known what it did, I never would have bought it. Impulse buying I guess.
