Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro (newest model) with remote finder, TV controls, and backlit buttons

Update #2: I received the replacement remote today. After installing the batteries and pressing the home button, I navigated to the menu on the Fire Stick to add a remote. It immediately found the remote and paired. Total setup time was under 15 seconds. When I ask Alexa where my remote is, the remote starts beeping as intended. The tone isn't super loud, but it should help locate the remote as intended unless it's under a cushion. The tone almost sounds like the Universal Studios intro. The custom buttons are also super easy to setup. My overall impression of the remote itself after finally receiving it... Is 5 out of 5. It works exactly as intended, and was super easy to setup (once I received a working unit). I only wish the replacement process has been smoother, but it worked out in the end. While I would take off a star because of the initial experience, the product is what I'm rating. And yes, I would certainly recommend this product to others. Update #1: After writing my initial review, Amazon customer service contacted me in hopes of reaching a resolution. They apologized for the confusion with the experts, and were very friendly and understanding. While they were not able to "send a replacement" directly, they agreed to issue the refund immediately, and told me to keep, donate, or dispose of the current remote. I opted to have the refund credited as a gift card, so I could immediately place a new order and apply the gift card, which I did. The new remote should arrive by Saturday. I will provide additional updates on the product one I receive it and finally get to test its features. Initial Review: I ordered this remote to replace a lost remote. By the time it arrived, the original FireTV Stick 4K was bricked, and they could not fix it. I ordered a NEW FireTV Stick 4K during Black Friday, and got it set up tonight without a hitch. Once it was setup, I attempted to pair this Remote Pro with my new FireTV Stick 4K (3rd Gen). Despite repeated attempted holding the Home button down, it would never connect. Long story short, I've now spent 1 hour and 40 minutes on two phone calls, being transferred to 6 different representatives. I've factory reset my remote pro 4 times, changed batteries, unplugged the FireTV Stick, and done everything but dance.... Everything the customer service "experts" advised. The first FireTV "expert" told me there wasn't even an option to add another remote in the settings (?!? Settings.... Controllers and Bluetooth Devices). Then I spoke to another "expert" who told me the Remote Pro wasn't compatible with Fire TV Stick, despite its compatibility page listing 5 types of Fire TV Sticks it's compatible with. After finally having tech support agree it was likely an RMA.... they refused to send a replacement, as it was not in Amazon's policy to do so. The only option would be to send it back, wait days for it to be received, so they can process the refund, wait for it to show a credit, and then I get to spend the money on the remote again and hope for the best. I've been an Amazon Prime customer for years, and I've had great experiences 95% of the time.... But this is by far the worst experience I've ever had with them. I think the product page sounds great for this product, and I understand RMAs happen... That's all fine. I get it. But to go through nearly three total hours just trying to get a remote paired or replaced has me questioning if it's worth it in the first place. Perhaps if I ever get a working Remote Pro, I'll be glad to update my rating.

Lost my remote , this one is great . Easy to pair or connect w finder feature and back lighted up buttons and 2 extra programmable buttons for favorite channels! Love it thank you for a great remote, well worth the money !!!

This remote is even better than I expected! Even though I already have perfectly fine Fire Stick remotes as soon as it popped up on my TV screen I immediately ordered one (not something I usually do!) for the backlit feature alone. While waiting for delivery I started reading more about it and got more and more excited because of other features, a couple of which I already had on my previous remote but still worth mentioning. Can turn on TV AND/OR receiver when you press power! This is easily set up during the simple remote setup process. You just have to select the brand of each; you do not even have to fool with model number or other info. Keep in mind that when using these buttons you need to have the remote pointed toward the system because these controls us IR like a regular remote, while most controls between the Fire Stick and remote are WIFI so not directional. There is a caveat about this feature if you have a little more involved "theater" system and also use a multifunction remote like a Logitech Harmony that automatically changes source and input ports depending on what you are doing. For example, if you press "Watch a Movie" on the Logitech to watch a blu-ray disc the Logitech changes the HDMI ports as necessary. The next time you press the power button on the Fire Stick remote the system input and source will still be set for watching a DVD. The Fire Stick remote will turn on the TV and receiver, but the TV will say not connected because ports are wrong. You have to then use the Logitech remote to turn the system All Off then press Watch TV to get the ports set properly. This is a minor nuisance. A more common issue is that sometimes when you turn the system off with the Fire Stick remote and maybe do not have the remote pointed correctly the receiver may not turn off, which you may not realize if the receiver is behind a fabric door like mine. The next time you try to power on the system you actually toggle the receiver off so you will again get a not connected message. Again you have to grab the Logitech to All Off then Watch TV to get everything in sync. There may be a fix for some of this. I recently realized that in Settings for either the Fire Stick or the remote there are a number of settings you can change to modify how the devices interact such as the length of the signal the remote sends, the kind of thing more advanced users might want to explore. TV channel and volume controls are now located and look more like most remotes which, to me, also makes them more convenient to use. Two programmable streaming service buttons are great and pretty simple to set up. We watch a lot of stuff on Paramount+ so it is nice to just be able to jump to that service after watching a different one. I wish more of them were programmable. The backlighting is great! When you pick up the remote the backlight automatically comes on. So I am super happy with this new remote!

Batteries die fast, but it’s a good remote, the find my remote feature is great, especially since my kids always misplace it and it makes it easy to find. The remote lights up when moved and I think it’s because of this the batteries die quickly. So far, I haven’t found a way to turn the light off. Overall, a good product.

Awesome remote, nice little upgrade. Easy to set up on my Fire TV. Love the back lit buttons. Remote has a motion sensor so it lights up on its own when you move it. Much easier to watch tv in the dark. Very happy with purchase and upgrad!

Amazon Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro (newest model) with remote finder, TV controls, and backlit buttons Made for Amazon Remote Cover Case, for Alexa Voice Remote Pro (2022 Release) | Red ================================================================================================= Amazon Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro and Remote Cover Case ALTERNATE REVIEW TITLE: Thoughtful Upgrade for Fire TV Users – Especially with the Red Cover Case Combo If you use your Fire TV frequently, this Amazon Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro (paired with the Made for Amazon red cover) feels like a worthy and well-designed upgrade. The remote itself is a noticeable step up. The backlit buttons are something I didn’t know If you use your Fire TV frequently, this Amazon Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro (paired with the Made for Amazon red cover) feels like a worthy and well-designed upgrade. The remote itself is a noticeable step up. The backlit buttons are something I didn’t know I needed until I used them—especially helpful during movie nights or in dimly lit rooms. The “remote finder” feature is also a true stress-saver. You just ask Alexa to find it, and the remote makes a sound to help you track it down. I’ve already had to use it more than once, and it works like a charm. The remote also includes programmable buttons, so I can jump straight to my favorite apps without navigating through the menus. The tactile feel is solid and responsive—not cheap or flimsy. You can really tell this is a “Pro” version. As for the Made for Amazon Red Cover, it adds grip and visibility. I personally chose the red version to help it stand out in the room (and against dark furniture), and it’s worked exactly as I hoped. The silicone has a soft, flexible texture, not too bulky, and it fits snugly on the Pro remote. Plus, it adds some basic drop protection, which is important in my household. I read a few reviews before buying where people mentioned wishing this combo came standard. I can see why. Together, they make the remote easier to locate, harder to misplace, and much more comfortable to use. Pros: Remote finder is a game-changer Backlighting is perfect for nighttime use Strong build and snappy responsiveness The red case adds grip, protection, and visibility Programmable app shortcut buttons Cons: Slightly pricier than a basic remote setup Would be nice if the silicone cover came included instead of being a separate purchase The remote is not rechargeable — still uses AAA batteries, which feels like a missed opportunity for a “Pro” device The red case, while helpful for visibility, may not appeal to everyone aesthetically (though other color options are available) Final Thoughts: This pairing—the Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro and the Made for Amazon red silicone cover—feels like a thoughtful enhancement for anyone already invested in Amazon’s Fire TV ecosystem. The remote’s upgraded features like the remote finder, backlit keys, and customizable app buttons aren’t gimmicks; they genuinely improve the daily experience. And while the silicone cover is a simple accessory, it adds just the right amount of protection and makes the remote easier to find and handle. For those like me, who use their Fire TV every day — or live in homes where remotes tend to go missing — this combination makes sense. It's not just a cosmetic or comfort upgrade; it adds real functionality. If you're considering stepping up from the standard remote, this Pro version (with a cover that fits it perfectly) is one of those purchases that you’ll appreciate every time you reach for the remote and it’s actually there.

This remote far out classes the prior models. It offers a guide, channel lists, backlighting, Alexa remote locator and the list goes on! Immediate, crisp button response ALL functions work flawlessly and it cost me less than $10 with Prime Days. I have not ever been this pleased with any Alexa product; WOW!

I prefer this remote over my original one because it offers more features the color is good and the color of the button lights are good to and connects to my TV much better. It is a great replacement option if your original Fire TV remote dies. However, it has one major flaw: it requires small batteries, which drain quickly over time due to the built-in button backlights. Overall, if it used bigger batteries to handle the extra power needed, I would say it's one of the best remotes out there. The other remotes I've had suck, but this one completely blows them out of the water. I highly recommend it!
