This is a great alternative to the Google TV remote as it has extra features like play, pause, forward, rewind, and menu. It connected right away, so there is no issue with setup and the voice control works perfectly. So far, I miss the big buttons on the Google TV remote, as I am still getting familiar with the button layout and find myself looking away from the screen a lot.

My original Shield remote was killed by a visiting toddler. For a while I was using one or other bluetooth remote, but every one of those was very inconsistent about waking my box up or losing its pairing with the box, forcing me to use a phone to reconnect. So I got a new Shield remote. The good: It's a little bigger and it has a distinctive shape. It absolutely works the instant I start pressing buttons. It doesn't have the idiotic touch-based volume slider my old one. The bad: OH DEAR SWEET JESUS I HATE THE NETFLIX BUTTON. One accidental press and I'm looking at long seconds for Netflix to load. Meanwhile, I'm frantically pressing the Home button so I can get back to whatever I was actually doing (which 100% of the time was not Netflix) and there's no tool built in to the Shield to fix it. I can buy a $10 app from the Play Store to remap that button but why should I have to? Overall it's a better remote than the original one - which was a 2/5 because of the volume slider, but at least the old remote could turn that functionality off, but since Netflix is probably the least used of my streaming subscriptions, the last thing it needs is a dedicated button.Read full review

This is a much improved design of the shield remote. Adequate size and better feel in your hand. They need to add a mute button for the tv.

I bought a no name shield remote that didn't work, so I purchase the brand name remote and it worked perfectly. Thank you

You have to look online on how to change batteries and set up. It’s a great remote with poor packaging and no instructions
