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 lolThe 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 😊🙏🏼

The Alexa Voice Remote Pro is a game-changer! I upgraded from the standard Fire TV remote, and the difference is night and day. The backlit buttons are a fantastic addition, making it easy to use in low light without fumbling around. The remote feels premium and well-built, with responsive buttons and an intuitive layout.One of my favorite features is the remote finder—just ask Alexa to find your remote, and it plays a sound, saving me from endless couch searches! The customizable shortcut buttons are also a nice touch, allowing quick access to favorite apps.If you use a Fire TV device, this remote is absolutely worth the upgrade. It enhances the overall experience and adds convenience in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. Highly recommend!

A really useful device if a little overpriced at full retail. Love the backlit buttons and the ‘find me’ function! The main reasons I bought this remote were the headphone direct connect button and customisable buttons. I watch a lot of movies at night and need to keep noise to a minimum and It is just so much easier to connect my Bluetooth headphones directly to the fire stick than go through pages of menus to connect to my tv. Only gripe is that the maximum volume on the headphones through fire stick is lower than I’d like but this may be a limitation of the Bluetooth headphones protocol. If I were to request some improvements to the remote I’d love to see the following implemented...1: make the customisable buttons fully accessible (able to link to any app and function).2: increase the volume output to Bluetooth headphone via fire stick.3: remove the Disney+ (and maybe the Netflix) button and replace with the Applications button like the Pro Max remote.4: backlight the circular control ring.In all, a really useful remote and a must have for nighttime viewing. Pity it wasn’t bundled with the Pro Max fire stick.

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.
