Non-Voice Remote for Fire TV & Fire TV Stick on sale for $10.49 [Expired]

Posted by Elias Saba on December 25, 2015 — 2 Comments

The Non-Voice Remote for the Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick has just gone on sale for $10.49. This is the first time this remote has ever dropped below its regular price of $14.99. Even though the item title says it’s for the Fire TV Stick, this remote works perfectly fine with the Fire TV as well. It also works with both 1st and 2nd-gen models. If you’re looking to replace a lost remote, or add a remote to the Fire TV Gaming Edition, this is a great deal. You can also use this as an additional remote, since Fire TV devices accept multiple remotes to be synced with the device simultaneously. It can be used as a secondary game controller for simple games, or as a standby remote when your primary remote inevitably falls into the black hole that is the crack between your couch cushions.
