My Sony NSG-MR1 remote from my Google TV works with the Shield. The keyboard doesn't works, as it triggers things in my Google TV. It might work on the Shield if it was on a standard tv.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] zhuozhi211:
Does the sound still come out from your TV/ sound system? I asked cos I had a MINIX A2 with voice control but it routed the audio to the remote speaker instead of from TV.

So you will press a button to trigger google voice, speak to the remote, Shield return the results, and everything back to normal?

I hope a decent remote becomes available soon

Hi, what button do you press to minimize an app say Kodi for example to get back to to the Android TV home screen? I couldn't find a button to achieve this on my LG remote.

Thanks

I have a large amount of air remotes but never really found the perfect one

Recently picked this one up for super cheap (10£ from Amazon UK) and it covers everything I need. And very well for the cost.

Works better for me than the mele f10/pro and the minix a2 and a fair bit cheaper too.

The name of it is August PCR500 for anyone who is curious.

the search button for me (using 5.1 full android rom, rooted) doesn't do anything at all, but i have not tried this with a stock shield TV
[Shield Android TV Accessories] silverblack:
Forget this one most the buttons dont work,mouse is erratic ,back to the drawing board.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] j-m-s:
I have the same. It is called MX3 Air Mouse.

Works great, not only on NSTV, but on all set top boxes.

But on NSTV, the back button does not work. You have to use ESCAPE from the keyboard on the back side. This is a bit strange.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] silverblack:
I couldnt get on with it, the cursor was all over the shop too.

In fact these remotes just dont seem to like the nvidia interface at all.

They work ok while your in an app tho but it means having to use both remotes to do things.

I've resorted to using a BT Mouse for the rare times i need to use a cursor click.

I have a Xiaomi Bluetooth remote I ordered specifically for my Shield TV. Unfortunately, after updating to Marshmallow it will no longer pair with the remote. It just says "pairing failed". :(

[Shield Android TV Accessories] silverblack:
Are you pressing the select button on your remote/controller when the xiaomi remote shows up on your TV ?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] awade:
Yes, and that's what attempts to pair it but right after says "pairing failed". Are you on Marshmallow with the same remote? Maybe because I paired it with the Shield prior to Marshmallow update, the remote needs to be reset somehow?

I'm at a loss on this. [emoji20]

Do you have to do anything to get voice working? The voice button works, but I don't get any input when I talk. It's possible that the mic doesn't work in my remote I suppose.

FWIW, running stock MM on my shield, not rooted.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] ursan2003:
The back buton work?because i test lot of the remote and the buton back not work

please you can scan the codes for this remote with keytest.apk?normally to work back buton default need code 158

Thanks
[Shield Android TV Accessories] jst07:
I was not. This doesn't seem to work either though, because I have push (and release) the mic button to get voice search to come up. Then I have to push and hold to talk, which works, but once I release the button it opens a new search.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] chemstar:
i do have the same remote and the same problem. nothing is recognized when the mic is pushed :(

after i removed my connected webcam i can use it :)

Back button doesn't work but I use esc button which works most of the time. In kodi I click on the back button on the home screen as esc backs down all the way to the home button.Sensitivity is decent as well as the touchpad. Not the best and not the worst.

Edit: Tested again back button in kodi and works as it was supposed to.

Anyone try the PS3 bluetooth remote? Does it work in Kodi? Looking for a remote that has a 'guide' button that works in Kodi.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] ajamils:
Does it support android keys? Also, since it doesn't have the keyboard do you still use on screen KB?

_____________________________________________________________

I recently upgraded from Minix X7 and with that device I was using Minix A2 remote and that worked perfectly as it had all the android buttons as well as KB on the back. Unfortunately, it does not work with Shield. Some buttons work but most do not so I'm looking for something similar that has KB and android buttons that work with shield. Any suggestions?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Mr Sliff:
Is it possible to get a one for all remote to work on the shield? I really dont want to buy the official remote if I dont have to.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] dodzs:
how do u get it work? my shield is on marshmallow and the voice remote from my fireTV stick does not able to be paired, by either using bluetooth or as shield accessories
[Shield Android TV Accessories] daniel_loft:
I've got the 7980 at a discount for 40€. It works very nice (without the mic part, of course). I mostly use it with Kodi.

I would assume that you can pick any other OfA remote and use the provided config (either via BT or via JP1 cable, depending on the remote).
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Codename_Falcon:
I have the wifi direct remote from the Fire TV 2. Pair it as a shield accessory. I've heard the bluetooth remote will not work.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] BenjiHansell:
according to this review

https://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2Q...57838031&store=daisy-acc-store#wasThisHelpful

Amazon is now selling the 2nd gen voice remote. Though this is not made clear in the listing. I know they were previously selling the first gen voice remote (looked almost identical but used Bluetooth instead of WiFi direct), but that listing is now gone.

For half the price of a Shield remote I will probably get one. The only drawback I know of is the lack of volume buttons, which I can live with. If anyone can help, I would also like to know:

1. How do the buttons map, particularly what do A and B map to?

2. Can it wake the shield like the official remote can?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] dodzs:
is your remote a "voice" remote? i heard normal remote works, but the voice one does not...
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Codename_Falcon:
Yes the microphone works on the remote. It is the remote pictured in this link.

[Shield Android TV Accessories] dodzs:
Hi... thanks for the confirmation, how do you get it to work? i tried this way, it still couldnt be paired:

- at shieldTv, selected pair shield accessories

- on the fireTV stick.voice remote, press the home button

any suggestions?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] BenjiHansell:
You might have the first-gen version (there are two versions of the voice remote, one for each Fire TV gen, they look almost identical though) which used Bluetooth and I think is incompatible with the Shield.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Silenus21:
Hi.

So how do you identify which is the new fire tv voice remote from the older model?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] BenjiHansell:
I've never had either of them so I don't know, though I've heard the dimensions are slightly different. If you have a Fire TV you could turn off Bluetooth and see if the remote stops working maybe. Also just see if the remote shows up on your phone under Bluetooth.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] wakkaday:
how do you pair the fire tv remote 4k with nvidia?

Wi-Fi Adapter for console game Controllers

There is a company that makes Wi-Fi Usb adapters for different game controllers. I saw a video on Utube (do a search for "Wii U Pro Controller Adapter (Shield TV)". The Wireless Wii U Pro Controller to PC /PS3 Adapter looks like it works very well with the nVidia Shield TV.

Here are its specs:

● Wirelessly connects your Wii U Pro controllers to your PC\PS3.

●Bluetooth v2.1 with EDR (enhanced data rate) for superior wireless performance.

●Supports Turbo/Auto Fire function (see “Operation Notes”)

●Supports the built-in Vibration Feedback with no delays.

●Supports “Games for Windows” proprietary input protocol.

●Functioning distance of up to 33 feet away from adapter.

●Plug and Play on PS3. No Turbo function and no Vibration Feedback when used on PS3.

● Input Switch with 2 input protocol modes for extra versatility.

Direct Input (standard HID protocol) supports 4 controllers at the same time.

Xinput (Xbox 360 controller protocol) supports one controller per individual adapter.

●Supports Amazon Fire TV under the Xinput mode (Info: The Dinput mode does not support Fire TV)

● All buttons (except for “Power” button), shoulder triggers, analog sticks and their ''click-in'' tops are fully functional.

● Compatible with Windows 98,XP,Vista and Windows 7 and Windows 8(32 bit and 64 bit versions),Windows 10.

An Amazon .com search for "mayflash wireless adapter" will bring up many of their products including a USB adapter for the PS3 controller. I have no Idea how well that works with the nVidia Shield.

MOD: May want to move this to its own thread - just realized this is about remotes not controllers. Thanks
[Shield Android TV Accessories] wakkaday:

how do you pair?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] silverblack:
I was using this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/361275366417

not the amazon remote.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] SkOrPn:
Im amazed the Amazon Fire TV voice remote has a usb dongle almost the size of the remote itself. Did Amazon install some sort of spying hardware to spy on your shopping needs? lol

I'm loving my MeLE F10 Deluxe, but that Fire TV remote looks much more hand friendly...
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Lostlam:
Do you have the link by any chance?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Wiidesire:
Can confirm.

I have the One for All Smart Control 7980, works just fine with Nvidia Shield. I'm also using it for my Sound, TV, UHD Blu-ray Player... :good:

The best feature in my opinion are the 5 activity buttons where you can combine devices to your liking. So when you press volume for example, it will send the signal to the selected sound device. If you press other buttons it will send it to the Nvidia Shield.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] DragonFlye:
Which buttons are available for/recognized by the Shield? The Harmony for instance, has a very limited set of buttons recognized by the Shield (no numerical, no skip/next, pageup/down, etc)
[Shield Android TV Accessories] daniel_loft:
I don't know for sure, but directional, back, OK and long OK work inside Kodi. What else would you need?

PS: I can tell you more when I will have access to the remote's config via its JP1 interface (in about 2-3 weeks).
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Wiidesire:
Both numerical and previous/next doesn't work.

Seems more like a Android TV limitation though.

Don't buy anything other than a gyro mouse!
[Shield Android TV Accessories] daniel_loft:
May I ask why, dear j-m-s?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] j-m-s:
With a gyro mouse you can work the same way you work with a mouse on the PC.

If you every tried a gyro mouse like the MX3, you never go back.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Bandusix:
Good third party remote

Good third party remote for android tv and amazon fire tv, and I find the mouse can be use in this app called CetusPlay, you can find it on google play store
[Shield Android TV Accessories] wakkaday:

[Shield Android TV Accessories] Codename_Falcon:
I found the HP WiFi direct mouse linked below works perfectly when paired as an accessory. It works much better than a 2.4Ghz or Bluetooth mice I've tried.

[Shield Android TV Accessories] eoniverse:
Was looking forward to trying this until I saw it wants to access my 'Device and app history'.

Bloody free apps that really aren't free. Why would it need to know my browsing history and bookmarks and what apps I'm running to work as a remote?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] tman777:
So the Rii MX3 acts like a Wii controller? A mouse pointer? Does that work well with the Full Android Marshmallow Rom? Non tv apps or touchscreen games? I noticed they have another version the Rii K25 for twice the price. There also seem to be alot of knockoffs with different brand names.

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=mx3+air+mouse
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Bandusix:
which permission they need will know your history and bookmarks? I do not understand.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] j-m-s:
The MX3 is an air mouse, a gyro mouse which is controlled by movement in the air.

It works wonderful with full android 6 and it works perfect with all apps.

The only thing which sometimes works not so good is when the app wants control with the cursor keys.

In this case, you tap the "mouse" key and switch of the mouse function and use only the up,down,left,right keys.

I never would use a tv-box without that gyro mouse!
[Shield Android TV Accessories] eoniverse:
When you go to download the app a 'permissions' window opens up. Most people ignore it and hit accept. You'll notice the app requests permission to view your history and bookmarks if you read the window details.

Sorry I wasn't clear.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] soNburst:
the cost of the remote is ridiculous. can get a mi box with remote for $69. wonder if the mi box remote will work. looks almost the same.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] techjunky90:
I could never get the mi box remote to pair, bought a fire remote & bought the piggyback tv remote. If my controller is on I can push the voice button on the fire remote and it will work, but if my controller is off I have to hold down the voice button in order for it to work, does anyone know why?

[Shield Android TV Accessories] Codename_Falcon:
Does this pair directly with the shield or is a USB dongle required? Also does the voice microphone work?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] j-m-s:
The MX3 air mouse comes with an USB dongle.

There are 2 version, with and without a microphone. The idea of a builtin microphon is very good for example for voice search or for video calls, but in my experience the microphone does not work good, not for making calls. It may work for google voice search.

I just received the 16Gig 2017 edition and I own a FLIRC and a Logitech 700 remote. I'm using the the Shield next to a WMC PC, so I needed to add a remote that wouldn't interfere with the WMC, so I added an Xbox One Remote. I then used the FLIRC software with the Amazon Fire TV controller to reprogram the FLIRC to work with the Xbox One remote. Someone else from the FLIRC forum is doing the same thing.

Works well.

Harmony Hub+Companion remote+Harmony smart keyboard. Setup with a windows PC device to get working numbers, record, stop, etc buttons that aren't available on the Shield device(actually you can use pretty much all of the windows/mac PC key maps in place of the Shields except for home-windows key pulls up search). Keyboard is handy because it goes through the hub so anything that the hub is paired to the keyboard can be used on. It also has an app for my phone/tablet. It works on BT, wifi and IR, I currently have it controlling my TV, AVR, Shield, HTPC, Ceton, Roku, front door lock and some lights. The one thing it's lacking is a mic(I don't think the more expensive Elite has one either) but when we get the Google assistant update it won't matter.

The shield 2017 remote is pretty terrible. What were they smoking not including a play/pause button? The volume slider in the middle is just annoying and got turned off almost immediately. As you are reaching for the remote your fingers would raise and lower the volume. It sucks as an included remote can't imagine paying $50 for it.

I have a 2017 shield. At times the remote don't want to do right. Buttons won't work then all of a sudden I'll get a delayed 5 presses all at once type scenario...

I still use it however... It just doesn't perform like I would like. I also have added a fire stick remote. My opinion, but I feel the fire stick remote out performs the shield remote in every way. Its just a much better remote. Also, many more buttons..

I don't mind the missing play ff, rw.... But.. The menu button I feel is a must for a remote.. Only down side to using the stick remote is, no voice search button. I wish nvidia would have made a better remote.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] kalpik:
I have the exact same issue. The remote just "hangs" sometimes.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] umaro:
I know it seems like a fluke, but I have had two 2017 shield tv remotes that had that issue and when I took the battery tray out and rotated both batteries a full clockwise turn and put the battery tray back in, they were fine. Not sure why.

By the way, I got an flirc and an inteset 422 remote and am using it with the Android TV device code (04899), and am able to fully control kodi (stop/play/rew/ff/skip/menu) along with using it to navigate the shield tv android interface. If someone's interested I can upload the flirc config, but I just did the setup with the keyboard controller.

No voice search because no mic, but I have the game controller for that if I want it.
