NVIDIA Shield Remote; Voice Search, Motion-Activated, Backlit Buttons, Customizable Menu Buttons, and IR Blaster to Control Your TV (930-13700-2500-100)

When I received this remote. I was going to wait a couple of months before I wrote a review because it has lighted buttons, And I figured that I would be lucky to get two weeks use out of the batteries so I installed a couple of Eneloop rechargeables just in case. Well, it's now been over 5 months and the battery indicator on the Shield TV box still says that they have over 60% charge left in them. Wow! the last 3 remotes that I had would only go a max. of 2 months on a charge, some less. I've tried other remotes and sent them all back because they were junk but this one is REAL quality! The buttons are lighted and have a solid but silent feel to them and the remote is RF so it will work in any position. Con's: The Netflix button does get in the way at times but... If you load the "Button Mapper" app from the Google Play store you can reprogram this button as well as others to do better things (or nothing at all). I reprogrammed the menu button so that a long click will mute the sound (This remote does not have a dedicated mute button). So now it's all good and is my favorite remote of all time. I thought the triangular shape might be a problem but it is not, just roll it on it's side for the other person to share it. Also, to change the batteries, all you have to do is press your fingernail in the release button on the top rear and slide the remote about 1/4 of an inch to release the battery cover. It's a little stiff at first but easily opens after that.

I have an original Nvidia shield with the older style flat remote that has served me well. After the most recent battery change in the remote, i've had a lot of issues getting the system to wake. I did everything I could to try to remedy it and it just hasn't worked right since. After doing research and keeping my eyes on it for awhile, I finally took the leap and upgraded to this remote. Night and day difference in operation. It works flawlessly and now thanks to this remote having an IR blaster, I only need to use one remote for my setup. The backlit buttons are also a nice bonus.

This replacement worked perfectly with my Shield after I broke my original remote. I was relieved to get this one delivered within 24 hours — great turnaround — and it paired without any issues right out of the box. It feels solid and functions exactly like the OEM remote should. Definitely a good choice if you need a quick, reliable replacement and don’t want to risk a funky aftermarket brand. Glad I went with this one instead of a cheaper unknown alternative.

Great little remote, when moved it lights up, easy to use and fits nicely in your hand. Highly recommend.

I bought this remote to replace the original remote for my 2017 Nvidia Shield TV Pro. The added features of Pause/Play and Quick Menu buttons are alone worth the cost. The fact that it uses AAA batteries instead of CR2032 batteries is a big plus also. The triangular shape of the remote actually feels pretty good in the hand and makes one handed use fairly easy. There are settings in the Shield itself to change the backlight brightness and function, along with the duration. These settings make it easy to customize for your preference, and I particularly like that I can set it to light up when I pick it up. The remote feels high quality and is fast to respond to button presses. My biggest complaint is the dedicated Netflix button. Not only is it rare that I want Netflix as my first source option, but I find myself occasionally hitting the button accidentally, requiring me to login to Netflix and then go through the process of scrolling to the Exit option. I may have to take the remote apart and disable the switch mechanically as I find this extremely annoying.

Great remote! Our puppy chewed up our older Nvidia shield remote that started to malfunction after a couple weeks. This new remote is intuitive, has a great IR blaster so i can turn on the TV, Sound bar, and Shield all at the same time. Plus this remote lights up which is a plus too.

I was unsure whether to get this remote or a knock off at half the price. I'm so glad I got this. 1. it's a huge improvement over the original slim remote. Fits better in the hand, doesn't get lost in the cushions, uses regular AAA batteries. And it adds so many new buttons! Power off, volume control, pause, etc which are very useful. 2. Retains the Bluetooth functionality for connecting to shield. That way the shield doesn't need to be visible or in line of sight. 3. Adds IR connectivity to control the volume on my sound bar. I had to configure this through the shield settings and it worked great. Just had to choose the brand for my sound bar and it worked. Now I just use one remote. I got rid of my old shield remote as well as my TV remote and this is so much better! Just a note, there was a noticeable button-press lag in the beginning when I first paired the remote, but in under 10 minutes it was working fine. Not sure why that happened, but I've never that problem since.

This is a fantastic replacement remote for older and newer Shields. Very solid. Uses standard size batteries, so no more running out of charge with the original slim remote. The higher quality rechargable Eneloop type batteries work great and make it easy to stay in business without throwing batteries away after one use. The back lighting is great and the remote illuminates when it is jostled. This is a nice feature if you're looking for it in a drawer among other items. This remote has more functions than the original slim remote, which is nice (fast forward, rewind and Netflix). The shape is good. Sightly awkward, but not enough to really complain about. The solid build quality is a huge plus. It's honestly a sharp remote design. Simple, but modern. The high build quality is obvious once you pick it up. THE ONLY HICCUP for me was that the remote did not want to pair out of the box. I went through all of the manual guidelines and also looked at some things online. No luck. Finally, I came back to Amazon and looked through the reviews. Another reviewer here provided the brilliant suggestion of resetting the remote -- holding down specific buttons while inserting batteries --which worked PERFECTLY! A big thanks to that reviewer! I was getting ready to send it back when I found their suggestion. Once I reset the remote, all of the things that weren't happening on the screen in earlier setup attempts were now working. Pairing took maybe 20 seconds. This replacement remote was well worth the price once I got it paired. It's a high quality, solid piece of equipment that feels like it will last a long time. Add to that the great functionality, and you've got a pretty fantastic little piece of tech that will elevate your Shield experience.
