Amazon Made Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro with remote finder, TV controls and backlit buttons (compatible Fire TV device required)

I'd been wanting this recently and decided to wait for the prime day deals to get the remote and I'm really happy with it. The remote feels nice in hand, has a nice premium feel too and feels much better than the original remote that comes with the regular firestick. I have the 4K Max at the moment and the remote was very easy to set up, literally took a couple of minutes and then done. I too got the apps button at the bottom as opposed to the Disney Plus one that sometimes people get. To be honest I did initially want the Disney Plus button however I do much prefer the apps button really simply because I'm forever going into there to open the "Background Apps and Process List" app which you need to regularly do to shut off apps running in the background, which can also slow down your firestick, so this button being there is much more handy. Not everyone subscribes to Disney Plus anyway, so it makes sense. Plus, you can assign the number 1 and 2 buttons to any apps you like, so you could always assign this to Disney Plus too if you wanted to. I have assigned my buttons to UFC and Discovery Plus (TNT Sports) and they work well and really nicely, they open up really fast too. From what I can gather you can only assign apps that are officially downloaded, so I don't think third party apps will work with these buttons. I don't use them anyway, as I like to keep my Firestick as new and how it should be however I know a lot of people use this so it's worth noting that you may not be able to assign these buttons to third party apps (check online to see if you want to do this). The find my remote feature is very handy, I tried this straight away through my Echo Dot and Alexa said something about might take a minute to do it for the first time however it played the tune before she even said that on my Echo Dot so that's how fast it was, really good lol The light up feature is also really nice!! This is going to look lovely at night, specially when you're trying to find the buttons on your remote at the time, so I really like this a lot too. The buttons are also very responsive and really good, they do feel so much nicer than the original remote and although they're in slightly different places due to the extra buttons we have, it's not really anything that confuses you from your previous remote, it's actually better!! For example the volume buttons are now to the left which is so much better than being in the middle to set the volume on your TV, it just feels better placed there and also works really well too. There is the additional settings button to go straight into there which is nice, the mute button is more or less the same place just a little lower under the volume this time, which again makes more sense and the live TV button, which I never use however I know many people might do so this also is in a really nice place for that. There is also an up and down button which is really nice too, for example if you use Pluto TV you can use this to navigate the channels while you watch them, so it kinda works like that with those kind of things, it's really nice. I haven't tried the Bluetooth thing with the headphones as I don't use them to watch TV with however this also is a really handy feature, specially if you have a significant other and are wanting to watch TV late at night without disturbing them but again, it's a really nice feature that I'm sure will be handy for a lot of people also. All in all it's a really fantastic remote and I absolutely love it!! I would say it's definitely worth buying in the sale as I do think it's a little overpriced when not on sale, specially when you consider you can buy a full firestick for that price however if you get this on the regular sales, it's absolutely worth it 100% and even at full price I wouldn't be overly disappointed but it just feels right at the price it's at in the sale for me, and I think it's a really, really nice item!! I would definitely recommend you buying one when you can, you'll love it and it's a great little remote to go with your firestick also!! I hope this has helped a few people before you purchase the item 😊🙏🏼

I prefer this remote than the one that came with my Fire Tv I really like. I was not sure at first as it did not have any numbers on it. But it does everything I need it to do. The voice control is so easy to activate. Press the top blue button and she is there. The remote is well built and and feel good in the hand with all the buttons easy to press. I liked that I had 2 buttons I could remap the app I wanted. So I do not need to go through menu of my fire tv. The settings are easy to access and can set all you picture quality and other setting you might what to change. Price wise I bought during the black Friday Sale and got the remote for a really good price.

I wasn't sure about purchasing this at the time as the reviews were a bit hit and miss. I purchased this as a replacement for my JVC Fire Tv remote and was previously using a cheap universal remote that worked ok but was limited as it did not have all of the fire tv remote settings, like Alexa, which is very handy to have when you are being lazy on YouTube and can just ask for channels and videos without having to type them in all the time. I was a bit nervous setting this up, as I was worried after reading how to pair the remote to the telly, that I might not work right away, but it actually worked better, instead of having to disable other remotes or do various set ups, for me, it was as simple as going to the remote settings and seeing the remote in the pairing settings and it paired right away and worked as a fire tv remote control should. The remotes buttons light up in the dark, which is handy when watching movies, you have the added option to add 2 of your favourite apps to the programable app buttons that are numbered 1&2 on the remote, I haven't quite got my head around the alarm button which goes off when it is lost yet, so can't comment on that. It does feel a lot smoother and sturdier than the bog standard fire remote though, which gives it a more premium feel to it, however the covers to buy for these for more protection are extortionate, priced at £14.99, you do have the option of ordering them from other sites from china for a lot cheaper, it seems they are cashing in on this being new. Amazon appeared to have put the prices up for all various fire tv items but I did once get a full hd voice and volume control firestick for £24.99, so do feel this is a little over priced for what it does, I managed to get it on sale when it went down to £29.99 from £32.99 but feel this need to be around the £15-20 price because it is just a remote at the end of the day and does a few little extras and you don't even get the fire stick with it. All in all, it is an upgrade to normal remotes but without a firestick with it, I feel it should be cheaper than the price it is, as it only has a few little extras to it.

Good quality remote, backlight and find my remote very handy as well as the addition of programmable custom buttons

I got this remote to replace the basic remote my Fire Stick 4K Max came with, and it is just perfect for me. I watch a lot of late night TV and sometimes like to switch the lights off, so the fact that the buttons illuminate when the remote is picked up is a perfect feat for me. The voice control in the remote works just as perfect as ever, it easily recognises what I say even when I sometimes slur my words either when I'm really tired, or due to consuming certain kinds of drinks (you know what I mean) The remote works just as snappy as ever too, button presses register instantly just like they should. I love the fact that I can ask Alexa to locate the remote if I lose it (which happens about 716261 times a day in my flat). The remote produces a beeping noise that isn't loud, but it's very easily heard due to the pitch of the beep noises. The "1" and "2" buttons can be programmed to do pretty much anything you want, from opening apps that aren't displayed on the buttons below these buttons, to executing frequent commands you would usually ask from Alexa. One feature these buttons are lacking, is the ability to program them to perform IR functions with your external audio equipment. The sound bar I currently have, has a subwoofer and the volume of the sub can be adjusted separately to the volume of the actual sound bar and I was hoping to set the buttons on the fire TV remote to adjust subwoofer volume by programming them from the original remote. If Amazon sees this review then maybe this feature might be considered. Another addition to the Pro remote is the fact that there's a headphone button which brings a menu up to give you the option to connect to recently used Bluetooth audio devices or take you to the Bluetooth menu to pair a new device. I'm pretty happy with my purchase and I'm going to be making sure I always have the latest pro remote from now on.

Bought after my original remote broke after ~ 5 years. Much more responsive than the original, very fast and has a nice weight to it that at least feels expensive. Very easy to set up and I do like that it comes with the batteries included. Lovely addition of backlit buttons, very useful when watching in the dark and the 2 programmable buttons should be useful. Haven't yet tested the voice control as have not had the need but was fairly ok at understanding what I was saying on the old one. Bought at a black friday price of £20.00 so a little on the pricier side, especially since I could get a brand new fire tv for £5 more during the sales but hoping it will last!

Feels a lot more premium than the standard remote, the back lighting is a nice feature and it only works when the ambient light is low so not wasting battery lighting up in a bright room or in day time,, The only thing I was unhappy about is that you can't program the shortcut keys to open sideloaded apps, The mic seems to be better and when using voice search seems to understand you better, Not had it long enough to comment on battery life but it's been a month or 2 and still on the 1st set of batteries, Paired to the firestick really easily, No real complaints but would have been nice to be able to use the programmable keys to open any app that is installed. I have set then now for button one opening the ring camera on the TV screen and button two to start my hue ambient play lighting behind the TV,

I bought the Fire TV Remote Pro mainly for the Find My Remote feature, and honestly, it turned out to be pretty pointless. After a few months of use, the feature only works if the remote is already in plain sight. If it’s down the side of the sofa, under a cushion, or anywhere even slightly hidden, it won’t make a sound and just acts like it’s not even connected. For a product that advertises itself on helping you find your remote, it completely fails the one thing it’s supposed to do. The remote itself is fine, but the “Find My Remote” function is basically useless. Save your money your money or be prepared to look for your remote the old fashioned way.
