AuviPal G9 Pro Backlit 2.4GHz Air Mouse Remote with Google Voice Assistant, QWERTY Keyboard, 5 Programmable Keys and Build-in Rechargeable Battery Only for Android TV Box (Not for Nvidia Shield)

This remote is very comfortable in your hand which is very important but you do have to get used to the feel of the okay button and the navigation buttons because sometimes you can hit them together and I don't know why but they put the menu button which I use regularly all the way up at the top next to the power button which is a very awkward spot for it and you need two hands. So I was not crazy about that but once you get used to it it's not difficult to use and the infrared picks up really well because my Android box is 25 feet away from my television set and no matter where I am it picks up the commands in a very strong way so that's good. I would definitely recommend this for people looking for a universal remote with a few programmable keys.

Pros:Due to it being infrared technology it actually WORKS over the distance of 30ft or so with no problems.Also due to IR you do not need to point it at the dongle. It can be pointed in any direction and still works.Air mouse makes it so much easier to navigate the Web on the Android TV box, and through stored files.Love the keyboard on the back, which also works flawlessly.Whichever side of the remote you're using, the opposite side is auto-disabled to avoid unintended key presses.Has a button to turn on LED (db-click it) so the keys light up... flip it over and _that_ side lights up.Doesn't take long to charge and a charge lasts a reasonable amount of time (for me, a few days).If you have a USB extension cord, can use it while it's charging.Every button I have tried on it works as it should, no wrong inputs.Even the power button actually turns my Android TV box off/on.Air mouse movement is smooth and accurate. (When it starts to lag it's time to charge it.)Has made using my Android TV Box an absolute delight, when it was an absolute PITA before I had this remote.Cons:No right-click mouse button in Android!! (Only in Windows, according to manual, which is a key-combo press).If this remote had a right-click mouse button for Android, it would be absolutely perfect. I don't need it often, but when I do there is no other way to access a RC menu, so you're stuck. So had to take 1/2 star off for that.But I cannot rave enough about this Air Mouse. I have wasted so much money on wireless mini-keyboards that are wifi and are supposed communicate over 15 feet but they won't work unless I am literally standing 2-3 feet from the TV Box, pointing the thing directly at it. Then so many of the keys don't do what they're supposed to... you press ENTER and get a backslash or something. You program the key to be correct, and later it's doing the same wrong thing... NOT SO WITH THIS AIR MOUSE! Every key is mapped perfectly to its function, and every press of a button gets relayed no matter where you're pointing it. No need to baby it or fuss with it. IT JUST WORKS.I liked it so much I got another as a spare.If you've been frustrated using mini keyboards trying to find something that actually works, you've finally found the answer. I can't believe anyone would be sorry for purchasing this, especially for Android TV. (I should qualify that by saying I use a generic Android TV box and don't know if the remote is compatible with some of the pickier TV Boxes like NVIDIA or whatever, so check that out first if applicable.)

Ordered the G9 Pro for the voice, keyboard, and backlight. G9 Pro came in super quick and everything worked amazingly except for the keyboard on my Nvidia Shield 2017. Contacted customer service about my issues and they offered to send me the G9 to see if it worked and the keyboard works on the G9 so I just use that one for a keyboard when I need it!Build quality is the best I’ve seen from all of the 5+ shield remotes I’ve tried (WeChip G20, Rii MX9, etc). Backlight is great, especially in a dark room! Voice function works better than the remote that came with the shield. IR function works great for anything that takes IR (Fan, Projector, Home theater receiver, etc)

No windows key, delete key or apostrophe. Makes for a pretty junk windows pc remote. Other than that the build quality and rechargeable battery are great. These remotes go through AAAs like no other and even with rechargable AAAs youre always swapping batteries and futzing with a charger. No such trouble when you can just plug it in when youre not using it.It would also be really nice to be able to assign more buttons with IR functions. Not much you can do with four whole IR commands...

AVERAGE SCORE: 2.75Got this to replace android tv remote. It works good for this, even though a little pricey for this function. IR learning is ok. The programmable keys are close to useless. Normally you program a device and the volume key, channel keys etc work when you select the device. Not this one. Each programmable key is for one function only and not a device selector. Nowhere is this clear. So you could program the power key to turn on/off your TV and one of the four dashed keys to turn the volume of your soundbar up and another dashed key to turn the volume of your soundbar down, and another to turn your soundbar off/on.It was a good replacement for use with my Beelink GT1 Ultimate android tv box. Runs Kodi well and moves around the Beelink well. Definitely much better than the original remote and the bluetooth keyboard I was using.Instruction manual is minimal and tiny. Have a magnifying glass handy. Website offers no additional information nor the manuals. Instructions are accurate for prgramming.My Scoring, 4 is good, 4.5 - spectacular, 5.0 - blew me away, great value, really does the job and then some.Product meeting advertisement: 2.0 - Not clear that programmable buttons are single function. You can program different device functions to individual buttons but only singularly. One could be volume up and another volume down for example.Ease of programming: 4.0 - I've programmed easier and harder remotes.Working with android tv box: 4.0 - Loads better than original remote, works with Kodi, keyboard is nice.Backlight: 4.0 - Works, easy to turn on/off.Instruction manual: 1.0 - really the manual and advertising don't explain the functionality or operation philosophy. I would not have bought if it was clear the programmable buttons are per function and not device selectors.Price vs functionality and other options: 1.5 - there are other similar and more function devices at a lower price to try.
