I'm simply wondering if somebody successfully have tried to pair the Amazon remote with the new Mi Box?
I think it's by far the greatest remote for AndroidTV. In particular I like the rewind and fast forward buttons.

If you have the first generation Fire TV (not the stick and not the 4k version), you can't. Its remote doesn't run on bluetooth. All the other remotes do.
That said, I do this with my 1st gen Fire TV Stick's remote. I like the dedicated pause/play and rewind buttons. You do have to set the Amazon remote into bluetooth pairing mode, but then it shows up as a bluetooth device you can pair with and it should be straightforward from there. I do miss out on voice searching, which is why i keep the other remote around.
I have seen some issues though. For example, in Spotify, the center button on the Fire TV remote doesn't work to make a selection, but the Mi Box remote does. ¯\ (ツ) /¯
really? after getting used to it, I really prefer the mibox remote, as its voice search works really well for me. I had been using the Amazon remote with my Nexus Player before getting the Mi Box because I broke my NP remote. The Amazon remote pairs fine with the NP, I don't see why it would be an issue with the Mi Box. I will try when I get home today.
