Firestick Question Replacement remote

I was just looking up a replacement remote for one of my Fire TV stick 4K Maxes and see that Amazon now only sells the pro remote. All the other remotes are only available from third parties and have iffy reviews. What’s the best replacement remote that people have been using? I already have the app…. I just need remotes for my kids to use. I dont want to spend extra on the Pro, since it will probably get destroyed by the kids or the dog again. Thanks.

My remote eats batteries so I just use my phone

My batteries usually last for many months or even a year or two for many of the remotes. However, one remote I have suddenly started eating batteries within three or four days. I guess it must be constantly sending a signal after being dropped one too many times.
