Chances are that some or all of these features might be Region specific. Check your region before buying.
The 3 features that sold me on this remote are:
1. In-app Remote Finder - It was used to find the remote in the couch. There are no Settings to change for this feature. When pressed ALL of the buttons on the remote flash. That's awesome.
2. Bluetooth Headphone Button - When you press it, it shows up on any screen. It's a good feature if you have to use headphones after you start watching something, so you don't have to get out of the app & go to Settings.
3. Automatic Light-up Buttons - When in dim lightning, the buttons light-up automatically. I tested it out. I shook the remote in a dark hallway & it lit up. In a lighted bathroom, I shook the remote again it did not light up.
The 1 head-sctatching feature that doesn't make sense is:
The DirectTV Shortcut Button - It should be for an app that most people would use, like YouTube.

It's good but it's not perfect .

The keypad has become quite cluttered.
They should have moved the volume/mute to the side. That way you're not guessing where it is or eyeballing all those buttons to see it.
Mute button is slightly concave, but not enough that my calloused thumb can discern the difference.
The back light works well.
We haven't tried the locate or headphone options.
I'd recommend waiting for a sale because retail price seems a bit much for what you're getting.
One mind bender is that the volume control on the remote it is replacing is to the Center of the volume control and on this remote it buried on the Left.
So some reflex retraining is definitely required. Is it too much to ask for some consistency ?
I kind of wish they'd do away with the pre-programmed jump buttons altogether or make ALL of them programmable. They don't match our subscriptions or anyone else's. Haha (no emojis allowed).

I absolutely love this remote. If my kids misplace it, Alexa saves me time by finding it. The light up buttons come in handy. I will be upgrading all of my remotes.

This Amazon TV remote is a perfect replacement! It paired effortlessly with my Fire TV, and the setup took just seconds. The buttons are highly responsive, and the remote feels solid and well-made. It works just like the original, with great range and smooth navigation. If you need a reliable replacement or extra remote, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

I like the size and feel of it. Also the light up feature. And the voice control is nice. What I don't like is the fact that the four set buttons are not reprogram to able. Do not use the Direct tv or Peacock. Should have been either Hulu, Disney or YouTubeTv. Other than that I like it a lot.

I love this remote, bought it in ohio. The buttons are prime video, netflix, direct tv, and peacock. You can program button 1 and 2 for any action like turning on or off a light or open apps, change temperature in the house, view a camera its wonderful. Motion activated light comes in handy at night. And i absolutely cannot live without the find my remote feature.

I appreciate having this Fire TV remote. The backlit buttons help me to know what buttons I'm pushing in the dark. My old remote didn't have the extra features at the bottom either so this helps as well to be able to push one button to launch an app. I'm glad I made this purchase, using my phone as a remote was not working for me.

Great remote! Feels quality, a little heavier than the original one that comes with the fire stick, which makes it feel more premium

With a child the remote gets magically lost but with Alexa a simple “find my remote” and remote starts beeping its loud enough to hear between piles of blankets! Best purchase I’ve made in a while!

Instantly lights up on movement. A bit heavier than the average fire tv remote which gives it a better feel in my opinion. The best feature is the Bluetooth pairing with headphones. Great when you don't want to wake others while enjoying your shows.

I LOVE that it has two customizable buttons to launch my favorite apps. I wish there was more than the two. I don't use any of the other four preset buttons. Easy to program to my Fire TV.

Best remote of any tv I have ever used! It is so easy to use and battery life lasts forever! Not to mention I can just tell the remote what I want to watch AND see in the dark what buttons I am hitting on movie nights! Definitely recommend!

My daughter loses the remote more times than I can count having both sound functions and light functions to be able to find it are invaluable, plus. It's nice it has a more ruggerized design
