I have a relatively slow device to begin with so I didn't think it would make much of a difference but getting a 2.4ghz remote with a dongle has made navigating the menus so much better for me on my Realme 4K stick. The Bluetooth remote has better shortcuts and I keep using it for that but just regular scrolling is way better with a remote that has so much less lag due to Bluetooth generally sucking.
Which remote did you get?
