[Remote] [Mi Box 3] Thinking about getting the Wechip w1 or another cheap remote that would work better than the mi remote!

by dreadfulwhaler

Hey guys,

​

I've been looking around this sub for tips, as I'm getting fed up by the BT remote that won't work properly after several hours of sleep. I live in a place where amazon doesn't ship, so I'm looking to china for my next remote.

​

I don't care about Air Mouse capability, nor voice commands really. I want to control the mi box, volume, and to turn it to standby and on again easily. From what I can see, the Wechip can do that easily over 2.4G, it also has a nice keyboard on the back.

​

What do you guys think? Are there better alternatives in that price range (10-15$)?

I have an MX3 Pro which works on the Mibox. Has backlighting, voice, airmouse, keyboard, plus all the other stuff you want.

Edit: I got it upon recommendation from this subreddit. Somewhere here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/search?q=alternative+mibox+remote&restrict_sr=on&sort=relevance&t=all
