Some time back my Nvidia shield 2017 bricked. This week I bought the new Chromecast with Google tv. I tried pairing the Shield controller and it works flawlessly. Really happy, I love that controller!
Hold Nvidia button for 3 sec and find it in the Bluetooth menu.
Lol it's a universal bluetooth remote so it works with pretty much anything! (Gotta love a universal standard) You could use it as a powerpoint remote for a pc if you like or plug in headphones and use it like a bluetooth receiver connected to any bluetooth transmitter.
