Review: Nonsense!  This Controller Works As Good As The Fire Controller Itself!

Despite the reviews I've read to the contrary this remote (which clearly was marked on the box as updated for the Fire TV) is an excellent alternative to the official control.  I've had no problems with it and it has been just as responsive as the Fire version.  It's also useful as a blue tooth controller for other apps as well, so bear that in mind.  Pairing is quick and easy and I'm up and running.  I don't play a lot of games on the Fire TV as I bought it mostly for it's lightning quick navigation of Amazon Prime and Netflix.  But the games I do play work solidly with this controller and I can recommend it to you without hesitation.When ordering you might want to be sure the one you receive is marked as updated for the Fire TV as I'm sure that's the source of the complaints I've seen here.
