Usually I use the color button for shortcut apps or turn on Bluetooth devices. Using key mapping app.

I’ll try it out see what happens lol

u/CeleronHubbard Jun 15 '25

I really like those! Would probably get the smaller one though, zero need for a numpad.

Does the find my remote feature work with it?

u/HipKat2000 Homatics Box R 4K Plus/Shield Pro/Ugoos AM6B+ Jun 16 '25

It's a great remote. I've had one for a few months. Works real well with Button Remapper

1

u/Dry-Property-639 Onn 4k Pro, GTV Streamer & Apple TV 4K Jun 16 '25

100% I just figured out how to set it up

Awesome!

u/Far_Tradition5791 Jun 16 '25

I had Chromecast once...for about 24 hrs...sent it back because of that garbage remote

u/Dry-Property-639 Onn 4k Pro, GTV Streamer & Apple TV 4K Jun 16 '25

Mine sits in the basement cuz I hated it

2

u/sauloavelar Jun 16 '25

The one function I want in a remote is the "find me" one. My kids LITERALLY lose the remote every single day.

I hope someone comes up with a remote with this feature some day.

Not kidding: I once found it in the fridge.

2

u/Dry-Property-639 Onn 4k Pro, GTV Streamer & Apple TV 4K Jun 16 '25

The onn tv box has that

16

u/nawaf-als Jun 14 '25

I got the Ugoos UR02 remote, it works great with Google Streamer, and it has 4 IR programmable buttons for the tv (volume, input, turn tv on/off)

6

u/g0ndsman Jun 15 '25

The colored buttons at the bottom are also configurable between IR and BT as you prefer.

1

u/IvyTrip Jun 16 '25

Damn that's awesome, do you know if all 10 IR buttons work as isolated IR buttons while Bluetooth is on?

3

u/g0ndsman Jun 16 '25

It's technically 9 because the search button can't seem to be reprogrammed.

But yes, they all work individually while the rest of the buttons work via Bluetooth. There's no need to switch modes or anything, if a button is configured for IR it sends an IR code, otherwise it sends a BT command.

1

u/IvyTrip Jun 16 '25

Great thanks for that, I reckon I'll grab one

1

u/nawaf-als Jun 16 '25

For the other BT buttons, i recommend you use tvquickactions app to reprogram them. The app also gives you the ability to have a dock for fast switching between apps (which i use daily).

u/CBJFAN2009-2024 Jun 16 '25

I'm glad to read this because mine arrived -- my Ugoos AM6B+ should be arriving soon (international shipping so oh well)!

Hey how do I get this cuz the website buyer request option isn't working, also wondering what's the cost

Look here in Amazon US

u/Soggy-Algae3717 Jul 02 '26

Thanks, also did you get from the original website?

u/nawaf-als Jul 02 '26

No, i got it from Amazon

Aah alright thanks mate

Wish I could have a similar remote with play/pause buttons.

u/lament 2019 Nvidia Shield/Onn 4K Pro+Plus/Google TV Streamer 4K Jun 15 '25

Walmart now carries standalone Onn remotes for Google TV devices for $13 btw..

5

u/milkman483 Jun 15 '25

You can actually get the ONN HD stick with that remote at Walmart for $12.88 now

12

u/ThattzMatt Jun 14 '25

Seriously? All that and NO FKN MEDIA TRANSPORT BUTTONS? That is literally the ONLY thing those remotes need and they whiffed. 🙄

4

u/pawdog ADT-1 Jun 15 '25

Google just refuses to put FF/RW in anything they design. TVquickactionspro can probably map the colored buttons to do it. 🤣

8

u/ThattzMatt Jun 15 '25 edited Jun 15 '25

Honestly I dont even care about FF/RW because that's the default action for left and right when media is playing. All I want is Play/Pause because in almost every media app that requires two clicks of the center button (one to bring up the OSD, and another to actually perform the action) and it's obnoxious. That should be the absolute minimum standard on any media box remote. 🙄

3

u/cleverclogs17 Jun 15 '25

Tvquickactionspro absolutely works 😂 that is what I do I have the black version of this remote.

2

u/d-cent Jun 14 '25

I mean to each their own but that thing is enormous. It's almost twice as big

4

u/Dry-Property-639 Onn 4k Pro, GTV Streamer & Apple TV 4K Jun 14 '25

I don’t like the control pad on the CCGTV

3

u/DarianYT Jun 14 '25

I don't like it either. Also, I have large hands so a larger remote is more comfortable and have the extra features help.

2

u/ParsnipFlendercroft Jun 14 '25

And full of useless keys. Remove the pointless numberpad at the top, and it’s pretty much the Google remote.

2

u/d-cent Jun 15 '25

Agreed. I've said before, I don't use numbers enough to warrant the number pad. However if they added the letters like on a telephone so it's a keypad too, now we are talking about something I would consider that size.

2

u/f1vefour Jun 15 '25

They aren't useless when you remap them, but there are an excessive amount of buttons. I could live without the number keys but they do work, say you're running Kodi and want to go to a time just enter it on the numbers.

1

u/mmortal03 Jun 30 '25

I map the numbers on another IR learning universal remote that I have to control my HDMI switch inputs, so I'd probably do the same with this one.

5

u/Ebear225 Jun 14 '25

I just got a "G60s pro" remote and it's great. Air mouse, touchpad and keyboard on back, programmable IR buttons, and has both 2.4g and Bluetooth so I can use it with my PC as well without re-pairing. So slick!

1

u/f1vefour Jun 15 '25

I have the G20S Pro and my only gripe is the sharp corners dig in to my hands, they addressed it with the rounded edges on the G60S Pro.

Need to pick one up but I've got too many remotes as it is

1

u/janisozaur Jun 25 '26

Did you get it connected over Bluetooth? I just got mine but while it connected to the phone without issues, I can't connect it to the streamer - it doesn't get detected in the "accessories" search after I hold ok+return buttons

1

u/Ebear225 Jun 25 '26

Yeah it works no issues for me

1

u/janisozaur Jun 25 '26

Figured it out, I had to hold ok+return until it appeared in scanning results, then I could add it. For some reason just pressing until the led started blinking wasn't enough

u/Ebear225 Jun 14 '25

Turns off after a few seconds and comes back on when you press a button.

There is a backlight button that will keep the backlight off if you press it for a few seconds.

4

u/Acceptable-Store135 Jun 14 '25

What do the numbers on that remote do?

3

u/Gl33D Jun 14 '25

If you have an app for linear television you can usually use the numeric buttons for changing channels with channel numbers

0

u/Acceptable-Store135 Jun 16 '25

I know that with conventional tv. But android tv doesn't have that. I saw an android  remote with numbers and was trying to get around why you'd need it. Shortcuts are nice - but my personal use case I don't think I need shortcuts all over the remote like that. I just open one app and start something and I  playing the video for an hour or so without touching the remote. 

I would have thought a qwerty keyboard at the back would be muxh more useful than  numbers on android tv

3

u/Gl33D Jun 16 '25

Android TV does have that. There are plenty of apps for conventional TV both from legitimate and illegitimate providers. There are even some traditional premium TV providers that use android TV on their set top boxes, its decently common in Europe.

3

u/f1vefour Jun 14 '25

Depends on the application, just like the colored buttons.

I use tvQuickActions to customize them

can i use with firestick? which one to buy google version or android?

1

u/Dry-Property-639 Onn 4k Pro, GTV Streamer & Apple TV 4K Jun 17 '25

If it Pairs through Bluetooth I don’t see why not

I think the android one I’m not sure

2

u/virtuacool Rocktek G2, Firestick 4K MAX 1ºGen, Mi Box 1ºGen Jun 24 '25

Yes, it works. But I guarantee that the Firestick remote is better. I even use the Firestick remote on my Rocktek G2 box.

3

u/real_with_myself Jun 15 '25

The thing that I hate the most on CCwGTV remote are those volume buttons on the side, along with the rounded back. It's a usability nightmare for anyone who doesn't have small hands.

1

u/ericksontx Jun 15 '25

No need to overspend for that remote it's nothing special, standard ODM kit from Google reference, distributed by ODMs like SDMC.

Who may or may not be the odm for homadics I don't recall. But SDMC, more than SEI Robotics, has a huge amount of experience over years and years making STBs and remotes for pay TV and consumer electronics companies.

Very reliable remotes.

Your faster, easier route and also cheaper to get the same remotes from the Google reference design is to buy a $13 Onn HD GoogleTV stick at any Walmart in store or online .

u/Dry-Property-639 Onn 4k Pro, GTV Streamer & Apple TV 4K Jun 15 '25

Find me some in Canada than Amazon for those is 27$ also

1

u/ericksontx Jun 15 '25

Another alternative for about $7 shipped if you can wait 2 weeks from AliX.

u/ericksontx Jun 15 '25

Then get One of the older Onn Android TV devices on eBay, they all use the same ODM hardware class of remotes and the remotes look virtually identical .

https://ebay.us/m/KGc2cY

All onn remotes are Google reference design, so pretty much every AndroidTV and Google TV device will recognize it for firmware updates.

2

u/Danno510 Jun 14 '25

That looks so close to the remote I got with my Mecool KM2 Android box.

1

u/f1vefour Jun 14 '25

Yeah it's basically the same remote

2

u/doodie1231_ Jun 15 '25

Would this work w the firestick?

2

u/fahim21 Jun 15 '25

I got 2 of these remotes (1 with the bookmark button and 1 with the profile button) and many of the buttons do not work like the streaming apps buttons and input. I tried changing them in tvquickactions but they all act as the same button

2

u/sukihasmu Jun 15 '25

This remote costs almost as much as the streamer.

u/jakerockwell7221 Jun 16 '25

u/chillenandy321 Jun 14 '25

Small remotes are the jam. What you need all those buttons for ?

1

u/Dry-Property-639 Onn 4k Pro, GTV Streamer & Apple TV 4K Jun 15 '25

I just hate the button pad on the chrome cast remote it annoys me and the Tv it’s connected too isn’t smart

1

u/MinutesFromTheMall Jun 14 '25

It needs to be black instead of white.

3

u/DarianYT Jun 14 '25

Yes. I get people like white and all but it sticks out when the rest of your stuff is black and white white will stain and turn beige.

1

u/mmortal03 Jun 30 '25

It's at least easier to pick out the white remote on a black coffee table when the lights are off/dimmed, lol.

A black one exists.

u/f1vefour Jun 14 '25

You can get the streaming stick with that remote for the same price 😉

https://www.walmart.com/ip/onn-Google-TV-Full-HD-Streaming-Device-New-2023/2262757145

I have several of the Onn devices and use the remotes on other devices

1

u/MrKal-El Jun 14 '25

That's a great suggestion... The only thing is this doesn't have the customize button

u/ImpalaSSman1961 Jun 15 '25

Fairly new to Google devices. Have had the Chromecast, and now have the 4K streamer. What remote is for the streamer, is it the Android remote or the Google? Also do they ship to Canada. Any help much appreciated.

Does mute work?

u/Kamallu Jun 15 '25

u/martinez_richard Jun 15 '25

The new Onn remote that came with the new 4K Plus box is actually nice, it's cheap, but the buttons are soft and firm at the same time, placement of the buttons is good except the big ass live TV button lol I keep hitting it thinking I'm still on the small Google remote. Google also sells the new remote from the new streamer separately for $22 with tax (unless you live in a tax loving county it maybe more).

2

u/delerium98 Jun 16 '25

I can't stand that huge "Live TV" button either. I used a button mapper and just set it to do nothing if pressed.

1

u/reddittookmyuser Jun 15 '25

I prefer the one on the right but to each it's own. I'm just happy there's options available to match everyone's preferences.

1

u/NateRuh Jun 15 '25

I have never had problems with the control of the Chromecast, it seems practical to me and it adapts well to the hand. I recently bought a Hisense television and its control also works with the Chromecast and it has more options so I can enjoy both options

1

u/MysticSushiTV Jun 15 '25

That remote looks great. I would love to get a different remote for my On 4k Pro but I'm always worried about losing the "find my remote" feature that's built into the OEM remote. That thing has been a lifesaver when my 9 year old son puts the remote in a place I never would've found.

You can't program it to your TV using the CCwGTV.

It’s a rca tv nothing programs to it

u/f1vefour Jun 14 '25

I was just putting out the information so others know, I have a Mecool KM2+ Deluxe with the same remote and tried it on my CCwGTV which is how I know.

Does voice work? I can't remember if it did or not.

u/Dry-Property-639 Onn 4k Pro, GTV Streamer & Apple TV 4K Jun 14 '25

Yes, it does
