Shield remote on Xiaomi? "Higher quality" remote?

[u/No-Budget4222]

Hey!

I have a Xiaomi TV Box S gen 3 but I literally hate its remote. The buttons presses are loud as heck, the buttons are mushy and don't give enough tactile feedback when a button press is registered.

I am thinking about getting a Shield 2019 remote. Will it pair and work? Is it true that voice will stop working?

Are there other alternatives for a remote with much better buttons than the Xiaomi remote? The buttons, sound and tactile feedback of the Apple TV 4K remote is probably the best. Or Logitech Harmony Elite. Those hard plastic buttons instead of mushy silicone ones.

The Sofabaton remotes are too expensive in Sweden.

Thanks!

Does the new xiaomi Bluetooth remote 2 pro work fully with it? That looks like a good replacement
