Ok so a secondary remote isn't what everyone would call essential, but in my mind, the included Alexa Voice Remote included with the likes of the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max and Fire TV Cube is just a bit rubbish. Without exaggerating, every Fire TV that I've used, whether it is my own or a friend's, the back panel of the remote that holds the batteries in place is loose, and the overall functionality of the remote is fine if not a bit barebones.
So what's the solution? If you too are passionate about remotes, may I direct your attention to the Alexa Voice Remote Pro, a lesser-known accessory that Amazon has been selling for some time. Up until this point, it's just been on the fringe of being too expensive to justify it alongside the comparatively very competitively priced Sticks that they accompany - meaning I've usually just gritted my teeth and used the standard remote.
