Best QWERTY TV Remote for Android TV

by getmoneygetpaid

Hey all. I'm in the process of reducing remotes in my living room as the current situation is confusing for my other half.

I have a Sony KD-55S8005C Android TV. The Sony remote doesn't have a qwerty keyboard but does have loads of useless buttons for Netflix, Football and all kinds of pointless settings shortcuts. I also have a second qwerty remote for the TV, and a keyboard for my media server. It's confusing and annoying.

What I want is a single remote for the TV side that has:

Media: Play, pause, stop, rewind, forward

Android: Home, Back, Search, Up, Down, Left, Right, OK

Keyboard: QWERTY

I already have something similar, but half the buttons don't work. Most notably, the play/pause combo button doesn't work, so I presume they need to be separate buttons. Also, the Power button doesn't turn the TV on. It only turns it off, and I have to press 'OK' to turn the the TV back on.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, all-in-one remote?

EDIT: I went with the Mele F10 Deluxe and it works great. I taught it a mixture of media keys from my Sony TV and LG sound system remotes. You can even learn the back and play buttons which is handy as I believe many 'android TV remotes' use the wrong key code for back so won't work with an actual Android TV. This works great.

QWERTY on the back is responsive too.

It was £23 from Amazon.

The android TV phone app has a keyboard if you have to type anything. Although, other than username and password there's not a lot of need for it. The voice search is outstanding, it even understands my toddler 90% of the time.

I'm using a favi android keyboard. It's bluetooth, mouse+keyboard. It's not the best ever, but it gets the job done.
