by ultrasuperman1001

I've tried searching but all I can seem to find is like cheap $10 ones. So I'm just wondering if you fine people know if there are better remote options

But the new Amazon Fire TV remote. It is a great replacement. Every button come mapped exactly as it should.

Your phone is the best replacement. Android TV or Shield TV apps are both great.

Why not a Logitech Harmony?

Rii MX6 Wireless Airmouse. I'm using that as a replacement remote for my Shield TV. Works great. https://www.amazon.com/Rii-Multifunctional-Wireless-Microphone-Raspberry/dp/B077XX6488

Out of curiosity, what steps have you taken to troubleshoot the remote?

Mine has "died" a few times, and with a combination of plugging in the remote and letting it charge overnight, and resetting the remote by holding back/home and voice search for 15+ seconds, I have gotten it in working order.

Let me know if I can help you in any way!
