What we liked

  • + Press-and-ask Alexa mic button lets you search for what to watch or ask a question without typing on screen.
  • + TV power and volume controls are built in, so one remote can run the Fire TV and the TV in a home theater setup.
  • + A programmable button puts a favorite app one press away, and a navigation ring handles playback and search.

Trade-offs

  • - Works with most Fire TV streaming players and Amazon Ember smart TVs, not with every TV or streamer, so check compatibility first.
  • - It is a replacement remote only: it adds no hub, IR blaster or control over non-Fire TV gear like receivers or soundbars.

Prices change often, so check the current price and availability on Amazon.
