I have added the new remote to my existing Fire TV 2 stick and it got configured and is working fine when controlling volume and on/off the TV.Just make sure you have connected the Fire TV stick to the mains and NOT to the TV USB port for on/off to work fine.Edit: I also managed to directly control sony bravo oled android tv WITHOUT connecting a fire tv stick. Just added a Bluetooth accessory and it started working except the voice commands. I guess basically you can connect it via Bluetooth to any android tv out there without getting fire tv stick. Amazon is not advertising compatibility with android tv’s since voice search does not work. It’s much better than the tv remote for app functions.

My original Fire Stick remote magically stopped working 4 days before the launch of Gen 2 remote. The new one works fine. The power and volume control need more work, as its stopped suddenly after having successfully configured with the tv. Ideally Amazon should buy-back old Fire stick/ Alexa devices if they expect us to upgrade.

Amazon should allow the previous Fire TV remote users to have a buy back option where they can exchange old generation remote fr a new generation one at a discounted price…

***************Review Update*****************With the continuous IR profile updates pushed by Amazon, the remote finally can control my TV flawlessly (Except switching HDMI port, more about it later). With this I can confidently say the remote can now control most LED TV’s (including local Indian brand TV’s) available in Indian Market, unless you really have an unknown/unheard of a brand). This is why I am bumping up my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars.Regarding the HDMI port switching: Alexa voice command “Hey Alexa, switch input to HDMI2” can switch your HDMI inputs, but this works ONLY for TV’s which doesn’t need an additional key press to confirm the selection. Unfortunately my TV needs this additional confirmation, so though the input gets selected via Alexa voice command, it doesn’t switch since the TV needs an additional confirmation. To workaround this, Amazon does support a “cycle through” option that can be enabled under “Input change options” in Equipment control. But this option is currently available only for Fire TV cube users, not for Fire TV (at least in India). The day they roll out this feature for Fire TV users, this remote in its truest sense will become a universal remote.*********************************************So I figured I wanted an universal remote which can control my TV, Fire stick and my sound bar, and just in time Amazon launched this new remote with power and volume controls, just what I needed, at least that’s what I thought until I actually purchased and used it.So, starting with the design; build quality of the new remote is almost the same as the older Firestick Gen 2 remote, except this one has an IR blaster at the front to control other devices. The remote is slightly smaller (in length) than the older remote.The remote works only with Firestick 4k, Fire TV cube, Fire TV 3rd Gen and FireTV stick 2nd gen (If you are confused, easier way to know which generation your Fire TV stick belongs to is to look at its remote. If it has Alexa button, then it is 2nd gen)The setup though looks simple, may not be straightforward, and if something goes wrong then the only way to reset is to force unpair the remote from firestick (Pressing back+menu+left selection key simultaneously). The setup process is detailed in the instructions leaflet inside. I have had many instances of the new remote freezing and not getting detected by Firestick (shows as battery offline, don’t confuse it to battery being low. It just means the Firestick is unable to detect the remote), a problem which older remote never had. The only way to recover was to unpair and repair it. The problem seem to have sorted out after a week or so (probably with newer software upgrades), don’t see those glitches anymore.Now coming to the biggest disappointment, Amazon lists Micromax TV as supported in its list of devices which can be controlled via the new remote. But it DOESN’T (PLEASE READ the updated review above, this para is not applicable anymore after newer updates which supports range of TV’s). I have manually tried changing the IR profile and tampering with the IR settings, but it never detects my TV. So that was a big disappointment for me. I am not sure if Amazon will add newer IR profiles in future via software upgrades, especially for older TV’s. If they don’t, then many of the older TV’s may not support this remote (unless you have a brand of TV which is popular in US/Europe, in which case your TV will most likely be supported already)Though it wasn’t able to control my TV, it was able to instantly recognise my Philips Sound bar, and was able to control all the features that the remote offers (Volume up/down, power and mute). But it’s not the best of universal remote; the volume down never works smoothly. Every 3-4 clicks will bring the volume level down by 1. Continuous holding down of volume down button won’t help, though it works fine for volume up button. Also the remote can’t be operated beyond certain angle like the default remote, you almost need to point it straight at the device.The remote also works well if you have HDMI-CEC support in your devices. You can set the remote to turn on and switch your TV to FireTV input (HDMI) just by saying “Alexa, turn on the TV”. Though HDMI input switching button is not available on the remote, you can do so by using the Alexa voice command. (I wouldn’t say it will work for all TV’s, but latest generation TV’s it should work).You can refer to more detailed help on controlling equipments here : https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GAYPF3MP4SNBJF9JOverall, the remote looks promising with the features it offers, especially the voice control. I have decided to not return the product since it at least controls my sound bar (and TV someday, hopefully), and also coz I got it for 900 bucks, considering the MRP currently is1999 /-. But still a lot of work needs to go in (mostly software), for it to replace other remotes, and be called the Universal remote. For now, it does the job, but not in a way it pleases you.

Glows in the dark and way easier to find that small controller

I have seen couple of covers for the remote, but found this to be the best one for the remote.I found it sleek and it fits quite perfectly to the remote. The quality of the material is quite good and the slots for the buttons are very accurate.. it kind of comes to the level of the buttons. The grip at the back is pretty well designed and feels good in one’s hand.I was looking for a cover for my remote as the battery shell comes loose after sometime of use. It serves best for the purpose.It fits snugly to the remote and has an opening for the sensor.Overall, I’m very much satisfied with the product. If you’re looking for a cover for your firestick remote, this is the one without any second thought.

You can only say so much to little kids. But them being themselves, they most likely to fling remote. This remote protector is one must have for reduce your worries. It fits perfectly, protects remote on most falls. You could be worry free while your kid is managing remote.While it doesbt cover IR part (top part), has protection on vertical fall. Silicon at corner absorb all shocks. Buttons also protected enough on fall from sofa.I would say having protection to remote is must.My only crib is its priced higher side.. You get most phone cases for similar price, this one uses 1/4 material, why priced at same as phone cover?

Still experimenting on different features, third party integration like with you tube could have made it better. Search capability is not that good inspite of the fact that movies are present in the Amazon music database, it fails to find it out and play.

The product is perfect for the fire stick. And it is very durable. But the buttons side are more thick so it makes the buttons slightly hard to navigate. But i would say it will give more protection to the buttons. I bought this only to save the remote from my daughter. And this perfectly serve the purpose. If you have kids definitely go for this.

I have old firestick, bought this new 4K stick.. to be frank i don’t see any difference eventhough its showing as playing Ultra HD there is no much difference for 1080p and Ultra HD. Sound quality in my sound bar is okay… If you really don’t care about 4K can still buy the old stick..I returned it to save my 6k. I’m 1000% satisfied with my old one.

Well it’s already overpriced but due to lack of local availablity one should go for it. This material definitely gonna last long. Fits perfectly if plastic cover(in which the remote was delivered) is removed. Black and red colour would be better. Gonna order black one for a relative now.

It’s very cheap quality. It’s valuable for RS.50. but they are selling for RS. 300. Best way to steal customers money.

The cover case is awesome, initially I ordered a wrong one had to return it, no complains to the seller it was my mistake as I blindly ordered what was showing in the suggestion by Amazon, without going through the specification.The case fits perfectly fine on the remote, and has been protecting the remote for more than a month now, the design on the backside of the case makes it easy to grip, and it feels like rubber so chances of it slipping out of your hand is very slim.I would recommend the product, before buying check the image given by the seller on the listing and match it with yours!!

Very nice quality and happy to have purchased this product. And does its purpose.My fire tv stick is fullhd alexa voice operated latest version but not 4K fire tv stick,Still It fits perfectly.

Amazon should allow the previous Fire TV remote users to have a buy back option where they can exchange old generation remote fr a new generation one at a discounted price…

***************Review Update*****************With the continuous IR profile updates pushed by Amazon, the remote finally can control my TV flawlessly (Except switching HDMI port, more about it later). With this I can confidently say the remote can now control most LED TV’s (including local Indian brand TV’s) available in Indian Market, unless you really have an unknown/unheard of a brand). This is why I am bumping up my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars.Regarding the HDMI port switching: Alexa voice command “Hey Alexa, switch input to HDMI2” can switch your HDMI inputs, but this works ONLY for TV’s which doesn’t need an additional key press to confirm the selection. Unfortunately my TV needs this additional confirmation, so though the input gets selected via Alexa voice command, it doesn’t switch since the TV needs an additional confirmation. To workaround this, Amazon does support a “cycle through” option that can be enabled under “Input change options” in Equipment control. But this option is currently available only for Fire TV cube users, not for Fire TV (at least in India). The day they roll out this feature for Fire TV users, this remote in its truest sense will become a universal remote.*********************************************So I figured I wanted an universal remote which can control my TV, Fire stick and my sound bar, and just in time Amazon launched this new remote with power and volume controls, just what I needed, at least that’s what I thought until I actually purchased and used it.So, starting with the design; build quality of the new remote is almost the same as the older Firestick Gen 2 remote, except this one has an IR blaster at the front to control other devices. The remote is slightly smaller (in length) than the older remote.The remote works only with Firestick 4k, Fire TV cube, Fire TV 3rd Gen and FireTV stick 2nd gen (If you are confused, easier way to know which generation your Fire TV stick belongs to is to look at its remote. If it has Alexa button, then it is 2nd gen)The setup though looks simple, may not be straightforward, and if something goes wrong then the only way to reset is to force unpair the remote from firestick (Pressing back+menu+left selection key simultaneously). The setup process is detailed in the instructions leaflet inside. I have had many instances of the new remote freezing and not getting detected by Firestick (shows as battery offline, don’t confuse it to battery being low. It just means the Firestick is unable to detect the remote), a problem which older remote never had. The only way to recover was to unpair and repair it. The problem seem to have sorted out after a week or so (probably with newer software upgrades), don’t see those glitches anymore.Now coming to the biggest disappointment, Amazon lists Micromax TV as supported in its list of devices which can be controlled via the new remote. But it DOESN’T (PLEASE READ the updated review above, this para is not applicable anymore after newer updates which supports range of TV’s). I have manually tried changing the IR profile and tampering with the IR settings, but it never detects my TV. So that was a big disappointment for me. I am not sure if Amazon will add newer IR profiles in future via software upgrades, especially for older TV’s. If they don’t, then many of the older TV’s may not support this remote (unless you have a brand of TV which is popular in US/Europe, in which case your TV will most likely be supported already)Though it wasn’t able to control my TV, it was able to instantly recognise my Philips Sound bar, and was able to control all the features that the remote offers (Volume up/down, power and mute). But it’s not the best of universal remote; the volume down never works smoothly. Every 3-4 clicks will bring the volume level down by 1. Continuous holding down of volume down button won’t help, though it works fine for volume up button. Also the remote can’t be operated beyond certain angle like the default remote, you almost need to point it straight at the device.The remote also works well if you have HDMI-CEC support in your devices. You can set the remote to turn on and switch your TV to FireTV input (HDMI) just by saying “Alexa, turn on the TV”. Though HDMI input switching button is not available on the remote, you can do so by using the Alexa voice command. (I wouldn’t say it will work for all TV’s, but latest generation TV’s it should work).You can refer to more detailed help on controlling equipments here : https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GAYPF3MP4SNBJF9JOverall, the remote looks promising with the features it offers, especially the voice control. I have decided to not return the product since it at least controls my sound bar (and TV someday, hopefully), and also coz I got it for 900 bucks, considering the MRP currently is1999 /-. But still a lot of work needs to go in (mostly software), for it to replace other remotes, and be called the Universal remote. For now, it does the job, but not in a way it pleases you.

I have old firestick, bought this new 4K stick.. to be frank i don’t see any difference eventhough its showing as playing Ultra HD there is no much difference for 1080p and Ultra HD. Sound quality in my sound bar is okay… If you really don’t care about 4K can still buy the old stick..I returned it to save my 6k. I’m 1000% satisfied with my old one.

I have seen couple of covers for the remote, but found this to be the best one for the remote.I found it sleek and it fits quite perfectly to the remote. The quality of the material is quite good and the slots for the buttons are very accurate.. it kind of comes to the level of the buttons. The grip at the back is pretty well designed and feels good in one’s hand.I was looking for a cover for my remote as the battery shell comes loose after sometime of use. It serves best for the purpose.It fits snugly to the remote and has an opening for the sensor.Overall, I’m very much satisfied with the product. If you’re looking for a cover for your firestick remote, this is the one without any second thought.

You can only say so much to little kids. But them being themselves, they most likely to fling remote. This remote protector is one must have for reduce your worries. It fits perfectly, protects remote on most falls. You could be worry free while your kid is managing remote.While it doesbt cover IR part (top part), has protection on vertical fall. Silicon at corner absorb all shocks. Buttons also protected enough on fall from sofa.I would say having protection to remote is must.My only crib is its priced higher side.. You get most phone cases for similar price, this one uses 1/4 material, why priced at same as phone cover?

Well it’s already overpriced but due to lack of local availablity one should go for it. This material definitely gonna last long. Fits perfectly if plastic cover(in which the remote was delivered) is removed. Black and red colour would be better. Gonna order black one for a relative now.

The cutouts provided for the microphone and the remote signal could be better.I have to sometimes adjust the cover so that the remote signal reaches the FireTV stick.The hole for the microphone is in the correct place but the cutout is very rudimentarily done. It looks like a hole made by piercing a sharp object by hand or using a scissor. It is not a complete machine finished product.

Excellent quality. Premium feel. Proper dust protection. Easy to use the remote buttons. Perfect fit. TV and Fire TV stick power on/off working smoothly. No problems faced in adjusting volume with the remote. Alexa voice control working without any problems. Right choice to protect the expensive remote.

The product is perfect for the fire stick. And it is very durable. But the buttons side are more thick so it makes the buttons slightly hard to navigate. But i would say it will give more protection to the buttons. I bought this only to save the remote from my daughter. And this perfectly serve the purpose. If you have kids definitely go for this.

Very nice quality and happy to have purchased this product. And does its purpose.My fire tv stick is fullhd alexa voice operated latest version but not 4K fire tv stick,Still It fits perfectly.

I have a 🔥TV (non 4K) which I found to be excellent and when the 4K version was stated for release, I pre ordered it. However, I am extremely disappointed with it. I have a 55 inch Android VU TV, 2018 model which supports 4k as evidenced by 4k videos from YouTube but for the fire stick 4k, the brightness and contrast was pre set to a dismal low value. It was too dark to watch. There is nothing in it to adjust my brightness and I gave up and went back to my fire TV non 4k one which atleast looks vibrant and joyful to watch. The 4k one is just appalling. I am sorry but Amazon totally let me down here.

Firstly I am the early adopter of the technology and bought Amazon Fire Stick when it was launched, currently using over 7 of them in all my TVs as well as my car, simply love the freedom of watching your favourite entertainment anywhere and everywhere.Now I was too excited to see Amazon launching their 4K fire stick as with due course of time, most of the TVs have been upgraded to 4k, however there so li’l content to watch in UHD, So I ordered this 4K Fire Stick last month when it was announced.Ordering and Delivery :It was such a long wait, It took more a month for Amazon to finally launch it and even more time in delivery, I was really disappointed with long wait and even more when it was available on delivery for next day, but I had to wait as I placed my order earlier. What else there were no discounts or special pricing either on pre-orders, thumbs down to Amazon.Unboxing :I unboxed the 4K Fire Stick when the product was delivered and it was almost similar to my previous Fire sticks only visible differences were the size of this one is slightly bigger (check the pics) and there in no Amazon written on it (previous one had it). Other than that, it’s pretty similar. Remote has few additional buttons, including power on/off (Yes it can switch off your TV as well) and Volume rocker and a mute button, all are very useful and much awaited, however Volume button will only control the volume of your TV, I am not able to make it work on my Bluetooth speakers, overall its welcoming feature.Performance and difference :Now comes the most important part, how does it compares to the previous Fire Stick (2nd Gen), I installed the same on my LG55″ OLED TV to experi. Amazon Prime again has very limited options for 4K/UHD content, however Netflix do stream some interesting content, I played the same on UHD quality and yes there was certainly some improvement in the quality, even the usual content (1080P) was slightly better as reported by my wife, who is addicted to daily soap operas and reality shows. Having said that the difference was not that great, which I was expecting. Moreover when I tried the same on some friend’s low budget UHD TVs, it was minuscule and one cannot makeout any difference in quality of the image or sound. I was expecting it to be faster as the specs are much better than my previous fire sticks, however to my utter surprise, it was infact much slower to browse through different apps and much more laggy in browsing through menus, I just hope maybe some firmware update will improve the same, however in current iteration it feels more like a downgrade than upgrade.Final Verdict :Well if you have a high quality UHD/4K TV, high speed broadband connections (I am using 1gbps connection), Netflix premium subscription, this is your first Fire Stick, techno-head and have an eye for detail, then I would say it’s a worthy pick, for everyone else normal Fire Stick would do just as good. This one definitely comes with additional buttons on remote and was bundled with Alexa, however the later was also added in previous Fire Sticks and stole that advantage as well. Maybe some firmware update in future will improve its performance or some considerable drop in price will make it a compelling buy but till than I am sticking to my previous fire sticks for all other devices.Thanks for reading !Update : The remote is extremely unresponsive, at times doesn’t work at all, or scrolling is continuos (you can’t stop it), already applied for the replacement, will comment once replaced.Update 2: 4K Fire Stick is just getting worse, it hangs even with 1gbps connection and modem less than 1m away from it, even worse it can’t stream movies from my NAS, which is again connected through same Wifi network. Most of the times if losses connectivity from router stating, No network available, surprisingly previous (2nd gen) Fires ticks works flawlessly on the same network, this one is also extremely slow and unresponsive, I have even reset it to factory defaults multiple times and result is same every time. What is more frustrating, that Amazon is not responding for replacement or refund, feeling duped by Amazon this time.Update 3 : After umpteen no. of attempts, endless conversations with customer care and spending hours with their technical support team, today I have finally returned their 4K Fire Stick device, as the review suggests, its totally not worth it, Hopefully Amazon launches a better, lag free, bugs free update and I might go for it, as for now, I have to contempt with the normal fire stick, 4K/UHD content has to wait.

Well it’s already overpriced but due to lack of local availablity one should go for it. This material definitely gonna last long. Fits perfectly if plastic cover(in which the remote was delivered) is removed. Black and red colour would be better. Gonna order black one for a relative now.

Very nice quality and happy to have purchased this product. And does its purpose.My fire tv stick is fullhd alexa voice operated latest version but not 4K fire tv stick,Still It fits perfectly.

Decent cover for the over priced Fire stick Voice remote. This is leathery feel and has transparent layer for the buttons and space for Mic.It would have been better if the transparent layer is a bit longer and the bottom end they key spacings are carved exactly inorder to use in dark.It provides a decent protection unlike a traditional remote cover which provided good protection

U can purchase it for sure ,super protective it’s perfectly designed to the fire stick,not even an inch different it’s perfect size…. Loved it and Handy….5star product

I have old firestick, bought this new 4K stick.. to be frank i don’t see any difference eventhough its showing as playing Ultra HD there is no much difference for 1080p and Ultra HD. Sound quality in my sound bar is okay… If you really don’t care about 4K can still buy the old stick..I returned it to save my 6k. I’m 1000% satisfied with my old one.

If they don’t, then many of the older TV’s may not support this remote (unless you have a brand of TV which is popular in US/Europe, in which case your TV will most likely be supported already)Though it wasn’t able to control my TV, it was able to instantly recognise my Philips Sound bar, and was able to control all the features that the remote offers (Volume up/down, power and mute). But it’s not the best of universal remote; the volume down never works smoothly. Every 3-4 clicks will bring the volume level down by 1. Continuous holding down of volume down button won’t help, though it works fine for volume up button. Also the remote can’t be operated beyond certain angle like the default remote, you almost need to point it straight at the device.The remote also works well if you have HDMI-CEC support in your devices. You can set the remote to turn on and switch your TV to FireTV input (HDMI) just by saying “Alexa, turn on the TV”. Though HDMI input switching button is not available on the remote, you can do so by using the Alexa voice command. (I wouldn’t say it will work for all TV’s, but latest generation TV’s it should work).You can refer to more detailed help on controlling equipments here : https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GAYPF3MP4SNBJF9JOverall, the remote looks promising with the features it offers, especially the voice control. I have decided to not return the product since it at least controls my sound bar (and TV someday, hopefully), and also coz I got it for 900 bucks, considering the MRP currently is1999 /-. But still a lot of work needs to go in (mostly software), for it to replace other remotes, and be called the Universal remote. For now, it does the job, but not in a way it pleases you.

Very very nice product. After using it i have disconnected my DTH connection as it is useless. If u have a good data pack with mobile or broadband or dungle then use fire stick, not DTH. Aftet TRAI new rule, it is exepensive to see the normal paid channels. I have a request to Jio to provide JioTV app for fire stick.

The cutouts provided for the microphone and the remote signal could be better.I have to sometimes adjust the cover so that the remote signal reaches the FireTV stick.The hole for the microphone is in the correct place but the cutout is very rudimentarily done. It looks like a hole made by piercing a sharp object by hand or using a scissor. It is not a complete machine finished product.

Excellent quality. Premium feel. Proper dust protection. Easy to use the remote buttons. Perfect fit. TV and Fire TV stick power on/off working smoothly. No problems faced in adjusting volume with the remote. Alexa voice control working without any problems. Right choice to protect the expensive remote.

My original Fire Stick remote magically stopped working 4 days before the launch of Gen 2 remote. The new one works fine. The power and volume control need more work, as its stopped suddenly after having successfully configured with the tv. Ideally Amazon should buy-back old Fire stick/ Alexa devices if they expect us to upgrade.

 I am using Fire TV Stick from the last 1 year. I am very much happy with the device. It has all the required features to turn your normal TV into smart. Smooth interface with no lags and compatibility with most of the Apps except the Google Apps. It totally does the job for media viewing experience.———UPDATE———Video added to show a demo of the interface and Alexa Functionality in the device. Hope it helps.——–NOTE:——–Do check if your TV supports a Universal Remote for controlling. Not every brand or model does that. So ON/OFF, Volume Control and mute might or might not work.The new remote that has IR feature now, can Turn your TV ON/OFF and control the TV Volume. This is a very practical move which should have been included in the previous version.————————————–Supported Famous Apps/Games:————————————–Prime Video, Prime Music, Hotstar, Netflix, Airtel Cinema, Jio Cinema, Zee5, Viu, Youtube (Via thrid party apps), Firefox, Riptide GP2, Asphalt (But storage won’t be enough), Crossy Roads Etc———————–Unsupported Apps:———————–Google Photos, Google Drive, Facebook, Jio Tv, Airtel Tv, Playstore——Pros:——1. Easy to setup.2. Intuitive interface with curated content.3. No stuttering or hangs with good internet speed.4. Supports Phone Mirroring.5. Casting support for Prime Videos, Youtube Videos.6. Option to sideload Apks.7. Very responsive remote.8. Remote app available to control from phone.9. Alexa for voice search.10. Above all, its a stand alone device unlike chromecast.——-Cons:——-1. The screen mirroring has a slight lag, making it not suitable for gaming from phone.2. Voice search in the remote works only for the content in Prime Video.3. Does not have a great game collection.4. Limited storage and no SD card support.5. Slow startup times. (Best to not switch off the adapter)6. No option to add another amazon account. Only one account at a time.————–Conclusion:————– If you are OK with using two remotes, you can buy the previous version that is available at discounted price. But if you don’t, then buy this without any hesitation. Either way you will have a great device for your family.I just wish they increased the internal storage at least in this version. So one star reduced only for that.

Don’t buy this version now if you want to play Jio Cinema moves. I am very sad as movies in Jio Cinema aren’t streaming in this advanced version of Amazon firestick though it was working fine in previous version. Media files Jio cinema are alway in buffer mode and not playing at all. Moreover HotStar takes around 10 mins to launch. My WiFi speed is 50 Mbps. I trusted the brand so I bought in relaunch only without checking the review of the device and this made me unhappy with the big brand like amazon. I will return this advanced version and buy the initial version. Prime Video’s are streaming very well that’s why i am giving rating 1.

Amazon should allow the previous Fire TV remote users to have a buy back option where they can exchange old generation remote fr a new generation one at a discounted price…

***************Review Update*****************With the continuous IR profile updates pushed by Amazon, the remote finally can control my TV flawlessly (Except switching HDMI port, more about it later). With this I can confidently say the remote can now control most LED TV’s (including local Indian brand TV’s) available in Indian Market, unless you really have an unknown/unheard of a brand). This is why I am bumping up my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars.Regarding the HDMI port switching: Alexa voice command “Hey Alexa, switch input to HDMI2” can switch your HDMI inputs, but this works ONLY for TV’s which doesn’t need an additional key press to confirm the selection. Unfortunately my TV needs this additional confirmation, so though the input gets selected via Alexa voice command, it doesn’t switch since the TV needs an additional confirmation. To workaround this, Amazon does support a “cycle through” option that can be enabled under “Input change options” in Equipment control. But this option is currently available only for Fire TV cube users, not for Fire TV (at least in India). The day they roll out this feature for Fire TV users, this remote in its truest sense will become a universal remote.*********************************************So I figured I wanted an universal remote which can control my TV, Fire stick and my sound bar, and just in time Amazon launched this new remote with power and volume controls, just what I needed, at least that’s what I thought until I actually purchased and used it.So, starting with the design; build quality of the new remote is almost the same as the older Firestick Gen 2 remote, except this one has an IR blaster at the front to control other devices. The remote is slightly smaller (in length) than the older remote.The remote works only with Firestick 4k, Fire TV cube, Fire TV 3rd Gen and FireTV stick 2nd gen (If you are confused, easier way to know which generation your Fire TV stick belongs to is to look at its remote. If it has Alexa button, then it is 2nd gen)The setup though looks simple, may not be straightforward, and if something goes wrong then the only way to reset is to force unpair the remote from firestick (Pressing back+menu+left selection key simultaneously). The setup process is detailed in the instructions leaflet inside. I have had many instances of the new remote freezing and not getting detected by Firestick (shows as battery offline, don’t confuse it to battery being low. It just means the Firestick is unable to detect the remote), a problem which older remote never had. The only way to recover was to unpair and repair it. The problem seem to have sorted out after a week or so (probably with newer software upgrades), don’t see those glitches anymore.Now coming to the biggest disappointment, Amazon lists Micromax TV as supported in its list of devices which can be controlled via the new remote. But it DOESN’T (PLEASE READ the updated review above, this para is not applicable anymore after newer updates which supports range of TV’s). I have manually tried changing the IR profile and tampering with the IR settings, but it never detects my TV. So that was a big disappointment for me. I am not sure if Amazon will add newer IR profiles in future via software upgrades, especially for older TV’s. If they don’t, then many of the older TV’s may not support this remote (unless you have a brand of TV which is popular in US/Europe, in which case your TV will most likely be supported already)Though it wasn’t able to control my TV, it was able to instantly recognise my Philips Sound bar, and was able to control all the features that the remote offers (Volume up/down, power and mute).

It’s very cheap quality. It’s valuable for RS.50. but they are selling for RS. 300. Best way to steal customers money.

The cover case is awesome, initially I ordered a wrong one had to return it, no complains to the seller it was my mistake as I blindly ordered what was showing in the suggestion by Amazon, without going through the specification.The case fits perfectly fine on the remote, and has been protecting the remote for more than a month now, the design on the backside of the case makes it easy to grip, and it feels like rubber so chances of it slipping out of your hand is very slim.I would recommend the product, before buying check the image given by the seller on the listing and match it with yours!!

Very nice quality and happy to have purchased this product. And does its purpose.My fire tv stick is fullhd alexa voice operated latest version but not 4K fire tv stick,Still It fits perfectly.

I love the bright colour so I can find it amidst the black furniture. It fits well and the device works well in it.

Really good product for the price and fits the controller perfectly ! The glow in the dark looks great , I also got the glow in the dark green for my other controller!

Nvidia shield is not officially launched in India. It is available at $100 in US which is 7500/- india rupees. Hence no point buying in India for 28K. Can buy 4 products.

Bought this sucker specifically for streaming games, and it works great. It was more of an experiment with pleasant results. The great thing about the Shield TV for that purpose is that the hardware doesn’t matter, it’s all about network speeds. So whether you’re streaming from your $2,000 gaming PC or using GeForce Now to take advantage of one of Nvidia’s $12,000 gaming rigs, your network speeds will determine how well that works for you.For local streaming it’s all about local area network. If you’re rocking a modern router with anywhere from 100 – 1,000 Mbps throughput, you’re sitting pretty. For GeForce Now, they suggest 50+ Mbps download speed on your Internet. I also suggest that you have a ping of less than 100 ms to the nearest Nvidia server, but you can’t find that out until you connect to the service. I also suggest connecting to your network directly via Ethernet. Nvidia says that 5Ghz WiFi is sufficient, but nothing beats the bandwidth of good ol’ Cat 5/6 cable.I’ll talk about direct PC streaming in a second, but let’s touch on picture quality and latency of GeForce Now first. The quality is amazing. Since the game is running on hardware that would cost us between $12,000 – $15,000 the limited library of games (around 500 games that you must already own on Steam, Epic, Uplay and Battle.net) run on ultra settings at 1080p and 60 frames per second. If the games use raytracing then that runs as well. A bit of a caveat: the overall picture quality relies on your connection speed. Slower speeds may get some blur and artifactIng. If you run a gigabit connection, you’re laughing.Latency is nearly unnoticeable. Competitive online games like Overwatch, Destiny, CoD and Tekken 7 are perfectly enjoyable for casual – intermediate gaming. Pro players may bulk at the latency, but how many of us are actually making a living in competitive gaming? Single player / co-op games are fantastic. Games like Metro Exodus, Tomb Raider, Doom (2016) and The Division 2 have invisible latency. The way Nvidia does this is ingenious, the server runs the game at 120 FPS while sending you the stream at 60 FPS, so instead of the server catching up to your inputs, your inputs are syncing up with the stream, which makes your feedback seem instantaneous.The Shield TV seems made for GeForce Now and was a great investment for that alone.The shield also streams games locally from your PC using Steam Link. This is done to a fault. The benefit to Steam’s streaming service is that this allows you the ability of playing your unlimited library of steam games on any screen in any room. The downside is that Steam Link’s latency is fairly apparent, especially when you go from 5-20 ms from playing on your rig to nearly 50-100 ms playing over lan. This isn’t the shield’s fault, it’s inherent to Steam’s service. Not to mention if you have limited hardware in the first place, a sit back experience is not going to change the fact that your PC can only run FTL and solitaire. Still, if you have a favorite PC game you’d rather play on a big screen in a different room that isn’t offered on Nvidia’s streaming service, the shield offers a great solution via Steam Link.As for all the video streaming, it runs all the services a smart TV, Apple TV, Amazon Fire and Roku runs. Netflix, Google Movies, Prime Video, Disney+, etc. So, if you’re buying this thing just for that there are quicker, cheaper and easier solutions. Admittedly, The shield offers better 4K streaming than some of the other devices. This device is really meant for those services PLUS gaming. Gaming accomplished via streaming and android games, but mostly streaming.Edit: Since this review was written Blizzard Activision no longer stream on GeForce Now. This includes Overwatch and all CpD games.
