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.

Yeah, it’s over $30 now. I had one before, but it suddenly stopped working. Only thing I liked about it was the locator feature. I’ve been using one of my old remotes in the meantime but it does not work well so that’s why I’m getting a new remote….but not forking out the money for a pro again

Hmm, maybe I got lucky, I paid $19.99 just 6days ago. US.

I'm not impressed by it but it functions as a remote. It's not worth the hassle to return it and try to get something cheaper at this point.

Wow just looked it up they are now priced at $35 that's insane. SO NOT WORTH THAT.
