The Early Prime Day Deals continue to trickle out and today is a great one. The Alexa Voice Remote Pro is now on sale for $27.99, which is 20% off its regular price of $34.99. This is the new lowest price that this remote has ever been. If you’ve been waiting on a good price to buy this remote, this is the time to buy it because Prime Day sales are typically the lowest prices you’ll see all year on Amazon devices. This Pro remote is easily the best remote for Fire TV devices, both standalone devices like Firesticks and the Fire TV Cube, as well as Fire TV Smart TVs. It has two customizable buttons to open any app, backlight buttons, and a remote finder that beeps the remote when you as Alexa or through a button in the Fire TV mobile app. Do not expect the remote to get any cheaper than this when actual Prime Day rolls around since that hardly ever happens for Amazon devices.
Sweet! I was hoping these would go on sale. I’ve held off buying them for a while just because I hate spending that much on a remote. But my kids constantly lose the remotes so I’m grabbing two of them.
“It has two customizable buttons to open any app…”
I thought the two one-touch special buttons on this remote ONLY open apps installed from the Amazon app store, and NOT anything that’s been side loaded…
Assuming that’s still true, then the two buttons do not open “ANY” app.
Unfortunately yes.
Yes, but does the back literally fall off like it does on the 4K and $K Max button style remotes.
Amazon made the back plastic 1 gram lighter or 12% to keep either the weight or the cost down. A brand new 1 day old back won’t even stay on if you hold it vertically.
Many comments on this issue.
