Amazon Fire TV Remote: Overview
The Amazon Fire TV Remote is a new palm-friendly remote for Fire TV players and Amazon Ember TVs. It puts Alexa, TV controls, and app shortcuts in one hand.
- Press and ask Alexa: Press the mic button and ask Alexa what to watch, even by actor, plot, or quote. It can also run your smart home.
- Customizable button: Program the star button to open your favorite app, so it is always one press away.
- Integrated TV controls: Power, volume, and mute buttons run your compatible TV, soundbar, and receiver. As a result, the extra remotes can go in a drawer.
- Navigation ring: Play, pause, fast forward, and rewind from one ring. Plus, buttons for Live TV, Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube cut down on scrolling.
- Single-handed design: The curved back rests in your palm, and the remote weighs 2.3 ounces.
At $14.99, it is an easy upgrade for most Fire TV setups. Pre-order it before the October 22 release.
