This is what I have been using on my Shield 2015 for more than a year now, no qualms yet. Bought the below Rii mini remote, borrowed a harmony remote from a friend, set it up for shield then used Rii mini to learn the IR codes. I have also attached the USB receiver of Rii mini to shield to use the keyboard side of it, you can also use it as an air mouse if you prefer. The mic on the Rii mini works for voice search, but there's no button to activate voice search directly. This Rii mini can learn 8 IR remotes, it is small and handy also rechargeable using the included mini-usb cable. Each charge lasts me months if you have the keyboard/air mouse side of it switched off.

PS: If you don't mind being unethical, if none of your friends have a harmony remote, buy one from store, learn the IR codes and return it.

Can confirm new Amazon Fire Voice remote does not work at all. Not viewable at all even in ES.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away while I was in the Army we called that the Walmart rental.

Have you tried using one of those keyboard or remote remapper apps? There so many buttons on that remote it should be pretty easy to set one of them to be voice control. Thanks for posting about that one I may have to try it out.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] shahul_555:
No, I haven't. Can you give me some names for the remapper apps if you know?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] unvaluablespace:
I used to have that remote, long time before I bought an nvidia shield TV. How is the IR on it? When I used it, the IR was horrible. you had to aim in specific spots to get it to work. some IR devices simply refused unless you were pointed DIRECTLY at it. Meanwhile my Samsung tv, while not nearly as bad, still needed to be pointed at pretty straight on, and repeated ir inputs (holding down volume) were repeated very slowly.

Would be interesting to know if there is a newer version of this remote that works better.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] shahul_555:
I have no complaints using the IR with my Tv, Shield or receiver from a distance of 10 ft. I didn't even consider buying the Nvidia remote.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I can't remember the one I'm using, I just did a search for them in my desktop chrome browser and looked to see if they could be installed to my Shield. I tried a few...

Let me see if I can find them in the play store under my device.

EDIT:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=innerlife.keyboard.multilanguagekeymapredefiner

I believe I'm using the second one right now. Make sure you enable it as your keyboard.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] shahul_555:
Awesome the 2nd one works fine. I was able to map a key to launch voice search.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Is it working reliably? i'm having issues with mine, it keys Voice Search, but then keys it again when you let go of the button erasing your request.

Might just be the remote I'm using.

Has anyone tried the remote for the AirTV? It's only $15 and has volume buttons unlike Amazon Fire remote. The AirTV is an Android device too.

[Shield Android TV Accessories] aia832003:
Might give the Air TV remote a try. I really want something that also supports my soundbar via IR.

I'm using MINIX Neo A2 Lite, with gyroscopic mouse and keyboard. This is the only remote my family uses with the Shield. Used kodi Keymap editor to reassign Global -> Navigation -> Back to the back key on the front side of the remote. Cons: microphone, volume, power are on the remote but do nothing.

[Shield Android TV Accessories] percussionking:
Got the Rii MX3 ("flying squirrel" lol) from Amazon and so far we like that one better because of the 5 assignable IR buttons.

Power: TV Power

Red: TV Input

Green: Nothing yet

Yellow: TV Volume Down

Blue: TV Volume Up

Programming is: (1) Hold MX3 "TV" button. (2) Hold TV Remote Volume Down button. (3) Press MX3 Yellow button. (4) Press MX3 "TV" button.

[Shield Android TV Accessories] jholbrook514:
I do not like the nvidia shield tv remote at all. Unless you are moving it around it goes to sleep. That becomes a hassle quite often. I've tried to pair the 2nd Gen Fire Stick remote but No Joy.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] orificium:
Pairing the 2nd gen Fire TV remote is possible. The trick is that you must have a Shield controller paired first. Then go back to pairing screen, and hold the home button on the Fire Tv remote for about 5-10 seconds. Eventually the pairing screen will change, but it will never say "pairing successful". Then try to hit the home button and navigate around. Should work from there. Then you can just power off your controller.

If you only have the nvidia shield remote, I can't confirm it works with that. My Shield came with two gamepad controllers.

I use an IOGear wireless keyboard with a trackball and that's my favorite way to type and my backup controller for the shield when the Wi-Fi direct invariably fails. I haven't figured out why, but I have various Wi-Fi issues with my nVidia Shield 2015 now. I don't recall having as many issues when I was directly connected over ethernet. But my primary remote is the Fire TV 2nd gen remote with a SideClick attached to it for controlling my TV's power and Logitech Z-5500 sound system's power and volume. Unfortunately neither my TV nor my sound system support CEC. The voice input does work, occasionally, both in Leanback Launcher and Kodi (and SPMC before 17.x). I have issues with it responding sometimes (well more often than I'd like).

I had a backlit air mouse with a bunch of buttons on the front, 4 IR learning buttons and a keyboard on the back. It works well, but it chews through batteries like crazy, has no voice input (non-backlit version does), and honestly I hate all the extra buttons.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] jholbrook514:
Yeah mine has a game controller as well. The game pad has walked from day 1, it was causing random fast forwarding and pausing during movies. I use mine for streaming only so i unpaired it. I did find a 1st gen Fire Stick remote that paired first try yesterday, Bluetooth. It like it better than the slim remote that came with the Nvidia Shield
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Matt17000:
My Nvidia shield remote just died :(

Even if you want to buy a new one, it seems impossible to find one.....

Could you confirm me this one is working ?

[Shield Android TV Accessories] orificium:
I can't say for sure it'll work on 2017 shields but they definitely work on my 2015 shield. And you absolutely must have a working shield remote/controller to pair first.

Edit: voice input and Google assistant can be finnicky too. Doesn't always work.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Matt17000:
I have a 2015 too ;)

My remote still working but only when plugged so i'll give a try with the amazon one, thank you.

I never use voice input and have a google home for assistant so i guess it's ok for me, I just want a small and easy remote to navigate in my shield. I use the android app but it's not really easy to always take my phone for remote the shield.....

Thanks you for your time

----EDIT----

The review of the amazon remote are really baaaaaad........ Thinking of buying a china sh*tty remote on ebay.....

Hi Guys take a look at this thread link above . Read the previous posts and get up to speed.

Conclusion .....You will not find a better remote for the shield TV than the one I have previewed here. Without doubt...The DADDY remote for the shield and it has everything anyone could ever desire from a third party remote.

Best Regards,
[Shield Android TV Accessories] orificium:
That's exactly why I prefer Fire TV over any other remotes. It has just right amount of buttons and good size. I also use a SideClick attached to it so I can control my TV and Audio System via IR. Unfortunately they aren't CEC capable.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Matt17000:
Just order this one, i don't expect much but for the price....

I'll tell yuo when i receive this ;)

What's the battery life like?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] polosolo:
I can not say for 100% certainty as user use is always different , But personal experience using this remote and many similar in conjunction with the eneloop pro AAA , I estimate the battery life with frequent use should last approx a month or so.

I would highly suggest with any of these remotes which take 2 x AAA battery's ,I would always get a pack of 4 eneloop pro AAA

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-...id=1519088010&sr=8-1&keywords=eneloop+pro+aaa

and the remote should perform at least a month or so with frequent use per load . You will always then have a set ready to go.

You will never regret buying this remote ...I guarantee it is the Dogs Bollax. and in conjunction with the eneloop pro AAA you will have a trouble free experience for many years to come ,Hopefully as the remote and the battery's are really that Good. :good:

Best Regards

Got quite a few Eneloops, so I should be good. Eager to try the control out
[Shield Android TV Accessories] polosolo:
You will not regret buying this...That`s my guarantee :good: and don`t forget...This remote can also reprogram multiple key strokes for almost any other IR remote with it`s IR capabilities (can IR learn every key barring TV) Which is pretty amazing.

Best regards,
[Shield Android TV Accessories] orificium:
I'm still completely unconvinced. All these remotes seem to work identically with a few different features; voice input, backlight, and ergonomics. I suspect they all use the same exact firmware and are churned out by the same Chinese manufacturer and then re-branded.

Honestly, I loved my (very similar) remote until I realized it just chewed through batteries on a weekly basis.

And I'd bet using re-chargeable batteries would just be more annoying. Charging and swapping out batteries on a weekly basis? No thanks.

Also, Panasonic Eneloop is just marketing bull****. They're all made by the same manufacturer. Get them at IKEA for $5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeo_hv-8bHI
[Shield Android TV Accessories] polosolo:
Each to their own I guess....if you have not yet tested this remote? Then how can you actually compare ?

This remotes functions as a FULL IR Learning device, with back-lite and has many more functions ,No other hybrid has this :D

I have tested this against the other Hybrids you mention...if you read through my posts , you will see this.

This remote is THE DADDY ...... and nothing compares to it`s functions and performance...price wise.

Concerning the Eneloop pro AAA...... I have not tested these IKEA battery's , so I can not say , But what I can tell you for sure is that you get what you pay for. ;) and Eneloop pro are undoubtedly tried and tested to be amongst the leading battery's in the world for proven performance , longevity and very very low discharge, which is the most important factor ;) . That much is for sure.

Even if I have to change my battery`s every few weeks ,it certainly is not a problem for me (Quality battery`s & charger) and at least I know I have full control of almost every device using only this Bad-boy, I prefer driving a Ferrari than a carthorse. :cool:

My findings are biased on pure Fact ,these where my personal experience`s ...nothing more.....My review of both the remote and the battery performance is by far and away second to none.......That really ...says it all and I do understand other`s may have very different views, That`s fine by me.

Anyone had a try on it ?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] polosolo:
That remote look very nice.....I am off to do a bit of digging on this.

Looks a very nice remote but upon further investigations....it has no mouse air functions ...So it off my bucket list.

Also it is rather dated pre-2014 ..so if I where you ..I`d stick to the official nvidia remote.

I expect to see some good Bluetooth multi function air remotes to be released by third quarter of 2018 ....... if that does not happen ? I would be rather disappointed.

Best Regards,
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Matt17000:
I've just received the remote and it is incredible for the price..... Really i didnt expect this !

I think it's better than the nvidia one ! If you don't need the voice feature it's really great !
[Shield Android TV Accessories] BRICK0044:
Do you have a link for it? Does the air mouse work well? Is it an IR remote?
[Shield Android TV Accessories] Matt17000:
The link was in previous page but there is it : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-4...html?spm=2114.11010108.01008.5.650c649b3AyEid

It's not air mouse, emulated on screen with direction arrow, and it's not ir, there is an usb dongle so i guess 2.4ghz.

There is a "play/pause" button : long press on "OK"

It really worth the price !

Never thought my 10yr old Gyration GYR4101US Air Music Remote would work with the shield but I got a wild hair last night after losing my shield remote and gave it a shot and boy was I pleasantly surprised, all the media controls, direction pad, volume, back, mute and home button work like a dream. the home button is on the old WWW button on the very bottom center though, odd placement but it works. Aint tried the number/letter buttons on the bottom yet but I never used it on my old HTPC's either. Them old remotes were the sh%t back in the day and they are tougher than hell. The best part is the old built in "air mouse" and it works like a dream!! They are hard to find nowadays but if you have one laying around you ought to try it!! The only thing that seems to be missing is voice! The LCD display for music at the top don't do nothing, but oh well i never used that part back in the day either!!

I am not too sure on being the Daddy of remote testers. :eek: ... But the remote I think you will like and has all your desired functionalities is linked below. 1st link is Backlight , Voice remote and 95% programmable keys ........... 2nd link (Banggood) is Standard version without voice or back-light.

1st link: (Aliexpress) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-4...32796705881.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.ET7H5k or 2nd link: standard version without back-light , voice remote. https://www.banggood.com/TK628-2_4G...-p-1201548.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN

Sorry about the confusion .. :eek:

Thanks mate

I'm currently using the first gen game controller and while it does a great job you need BIG HANDS

Will try the one from Ali Express that you have recommended
[Shield Android TV Accessories] TheLoonyRebel:
Yep not compatible since the 2017 lacks the IR reciever. The good news however is the Harmony remote will work with the Shield TV 2017 if you have it linked with an Harmony Hub. It does take a bit of futzing with the Harmony software to set it all up but the end result is worth it.

https://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/general/shield-harmony-hub-keyboard-characters-t3722002

And you also get a nice added bonus of voice commands if you got an Google Home or Amazon Alexa device in the same room. So for instance you can say "Okay Google turn on Shield TV" and it will pretty much act like you used the remote. I've done other basic things with voice commands such as pause and resume video playback and volume control of my AVR.
[Shield Android TV Accessories] sam_son:
Since I keep loosing the original Shield remote, I'm looking for the biggest remote control/controller there is (a bright ugly colour is preferable).

I don't want it to have a microphone, but I would like it to have volume control (the Xbox One controller does not seem suitable since it doesn't have volume control).

Thank you!
