LG Magic Remote w/Magic Tap (NFC) MR22GN, 2022

I bought this original OEM replacement remote for my LG OLED Smart TV, and it works great! Just like the original — responsive, easy to use, and pairs with the TV without any issues. Exactly what I expected, and the price was affordable too. A solid choice if you need a reliable replacement remote for your LG Smart TV without spending a lot. The only surprise was that I couldn’t use two Magic Remotes at the same time. After connecting the new one, my old remote stopped working properly. Just something to keep in mind if you were hoping to use both.

Works identically to the original remote with one surprising feature. Apparently custom controls for buttons are stored on the TV because all of my programmed button pushes worked with the new remote. I was expecting to have to reprogram.

Did some research and found you cannot ‘link’ a second magic remote to the TV - but many functions like input selection, settings, volume, power all work on this remote out of the box with the respective buttons without linking to the TV. There is no magic pointer - but this is fine for a second remote for me (my wife uses the main remote) For example, without a pointer, you can still click the settings button (gear wheel) on the 2nd remote and it will pop up the main settings menu. Use the navigation buttons in the center of the remote to click through the menu and options and press the center (roller) button to make a change- then click the settings (gear wheel) to exit the menu. The ( … ) function (button below the #9) does not work (e.g. information option) as this requires the pointer. Hope this helps!

I don't usually post anywhere! So with that being said, I will speak up about this remote. I had my doubts while waiting for delivery. I read somewhere that you cannot pair 2 remotes to the same TV. I didnt try it out right away, but when I did I was totally surprised. I put the batteries in, hit the volume button and it worked! I had a message on the screen that... I think it said... "remote configured'. Was not really paying attention as my Yankee woman was yapping on the phone. I'm a southern boy, so if you know... you know. 🙄🤭🤗 still love her... going on 46 yrs. Don't even worry about it. If you need a replacement remote. This is the exact OEM replacement for your remote. Now I have my remote and the Yankee woman has hers... Life is Good!

it works very well with tv.

Worked well with my two year old Large Screen. Love the mouse ability, makes surfing through the multiscreens a breeze. Setup was right out of the box with the quick start guide for pairing.

I didn’t realize how much I would love this remote. The the added feature are awesome. I have a 65” LG tv and the cheap remote that came with the tv wasn’t what seemed to be the right one based on certain feature the tv has. So I bought this since LG said I needed a magic remote to work certain feature the tv has. Now I am so confused how LG would make a tv adding features like built in Alexa or dynamic sound that requires a magic remote and then proved such a cheap remote as if it was enough that I spent nearly $1000 on the tv itself but the. Told I have to spend another $50 bucks for this magic remote they speak of. I was just so happy to find this remote on Amazon. Altho it’s a bit unclear which models it works with, I contacted a LG service company that provided after market remotes and parts to LG product and verified this remote would work with my tv. And it work flawlessly. From the moment I unwrapped it and put the batteries in it automatically connected to my tv without even having to be paired. The voice button to access Alexa is pretty cool. But what I like the most about it is the air mouse feature. You just point to the tv with the remote and the mouse icon pops up. Then you just wave it around and it makes it so much easier to scroll thru things and even type in words such as passwords. I never knew what I was missing til I got this remote and I’m so glad I did!

When you’re considering an LG TV that doesn’t include this remote, you might wonder, “Will this remote work with my TV?” The remote model number reflects the year it was manufactured, with the last two letters indicating modifications. For instance, the GA version offers quick access buttons for certain commands or streaming services. Firstly, it’s important to note that the Magic Remote isn’t compatible with all LG TVs. To check if it’s compatible with yours, refer to the manufacturer’s guide, the TV itself, or consult Google. Secondly, if your remote was made after the year your TV was manufactured, it’s still likely to be compatible with your TV model and current models. However, avoid purchasing a remote older than your TV, as it may not function properly. For those who prioritize this feature, the NFC functions of the remote work as advertised. You’ll need to find the right spot with your phone model, and it’s advisable to have the LG TV app installed, as most of these functions operate through it. The app will prompt you to download it if you don’t already have it. Currently, this feature is only available for Android devices. The rolling ball can be a bit frustrating to use at times, but it’s entirely optional. Overall, the value was what I was most interested in here. Some places charge between $50 and $60 for this product. The quality is influenced by various factors, including your personal preferences, but overall, I’m satisfied because I got what I paid for.
