Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the ease of use and functionality added by the Universal Remote Attachment for Chromecast with Google TV. Many found it simple to use and program, making their device significantly more convenient. However, some users experienced issues with the power button and reported inconsistent responsiveness of certain buttons. Overall, the positive feedback on ease of use outweighs the reported problems with specific buttons.

    Very convenient added functionality. I programmed the additional buttons to turn my receiver on, plus volume, mute, and some TV functions too. The build quality is very light however.

    Solid addon to the stock Chromecast remote. Most functionality I needed does work with the Chromecast remote itself, however I wanted to add a few options for my sound bar to eliminate extra controllers on the night stand. Can program any IR remote to any of the buttons. Was able to program my floor fan remote to it as well. IR blaster on remote is pretty powerful as well. It pretty much works aiming the remote wherever, even at opposite wall.

    This made such a difference to the original remote! First, it no longer slips constantly out of my hand. And second, all the buttons are programmable, despite their icons. I didn't need another power button, so I assigned that to my menu. Already have volume adjustors on the side, so + and - became my channel changers, etc. This now has replaced my native smart TV remote completely.

    It is easy to use and to program. It will turn on and off the tv but won't charge the volume. But other than that it cuts down on the remotes

    A MUST HAVE if you've got a receiver. No longer do I need to grab a second remote, I program my main 3 inputs into this, volume, power, and the mute is on the Google stick. Makes things super easy.

    I use this with my Chromecast everyday. I highly recommend it to anyone that owns a Chromecast as it makes the device much more functional and allows me to control my TV and soundbar from the one remote. Does take some work to set up originally. Highly recommend.

    From 3 remotes down to 1.5

    I bought this because I was replacing an entire Logitech Harmony setup with just the Google TV remote and this Sideclick. I would setup the Power and Input button on the main remote to control my TV and the volume buttons to control the sound system. Then I was going to setup the Sideclick to power on/off my sound system and do some other stuff. Turns out that my sound system turns on at the press of the volume buttons and automatically shuts off after some time of inactivity. So uh.... It's still useful at making my remote a big larger and easier to find/hold. I did end up pairing the sound system to it and it was a very simple setup. I'll probably end up coming up for a use for it eventually. I don't regret getting it as it does have its uses the more devices you want to control.

    If this is compatible with your setup so you don’t need to help your TV remote around. Works best with older TVs that use IR only or see if your TV can get in to IR mode.
