Review on ๐Ÿ“บ iPazzPort Backlit Mini Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard - Ideal for TV Stick, Smart TV, Android TV Box by Mike Brumfield

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect inexpensive firestick remote upgrade

Works great with Amazon Firestick. Easy connection after charging the batteries via USB (cable included but power plug not included), turn on the iPazzPort power button, then via Firestick Settings -> Controllers and Bluetooth Devices -> Add Bluetooth Devices, then in the iPazzPort hold down Fn +Shift until the blue light in the right corner lights up. it then appears in a list on the screen. Select it with your old Firestick remote - once connected it stays connected/reconnects instantly, so when you turn off/on your receiver etc, which is lovely! Has all the functionality of the original remote and actually seems to be more responsive. The most important feature, however, is the backlighting of the keyboard in the dark. With this backlit keyboard, you can search easily and quickly instead of searching with the trackpad on your old remote, which is a very annoying waste of time. That's the main reason I bought it and it's great for that. Also, you don't have to have an Amazon voice control/Alexa AI spy system in your home that records everything you and your guests talk about, and when things inevitably descend into more authoritarian systems later on, they start taking points from your social network deducting credit score and other credit scores, you are given a number of platforms and inevitably end up in a small room while they go through your permanent records to determine which camp you should be sent to. this has happened before. (not sure why two) separate rubber sleeves that allow you to store the original Firestick remote along with the iPazzPort, but I have an old Firestick and the remote is too small/doesn't fit and falls out. Suitable for new Firestick remote controls. However, once you plug it in, I see no reason to use an old remote if you're like me and don't appreciate the voice spying features. So you can just use it as the only remote and since it's a bit bigger than the original Firestick remote you don't keep losing it in different couch cracks and stuff :)
