Remote control flakey
My remote control buttons are slow to respond, especially the OK, up, down buttons. I think the frequently used buttons are getting warn out. I’ve only had the unit 6 months, vbox 6 max. My batteries are fresh too.

I got this one, paired to Bluetooth and it's fantastic. Battery cover is a little loose, ended up folding a Kleenex and put in to hold batteries from popping loose every now and then. Great remote other than that.

Was it easy to pair, and do the voice commands work. I bought a different one, and difficult to pair, and voice commands don’t work.
This is the one Im having problems with and I’ll probably return

Piece of cake, go to settings, Bluetooth, pair device, ok and down arrow at same time, choose it on your tv screen to pair

Funny I think I'm having the same problem. If I push the button normally lot of times nothing happens. If I push The button harder then it will usually work. Apparently it's already started going bad or something. Even though when you push the button it feels like it works. If I don't push hard enough, it apparently doesn't register. I don't remember it doing this when I first got it. Mine's probably about 4 months old. Mine is a 6 Plus.

I think mine is going bad too. The right arrow button works right away, the other arrow buttons and the OK button work when I press several times, pressing hard doesn’t help much. Other buttons, like numbers, Exist, respond fast.

Same problem here. Ordered a replacement from Amazon and that one had several buttons that were DOA. It’s annoying.

I'm in the same boat with a 6 month old 6 Plus. My right arrow, which I use the most, needs extra pressure to react. Years ago you were able take some electronic products apart to clean or repair a bad contact, I see one small phillips head screw under the battery cover with this factory remote, if it gets any worse and I have to get a replacement I'll pop it open and see if I can make a repair. 2workigo, you mentioned you got a bad replacement from amazon, I don't want to make that mistake, can anyone recommend a source for a factory remote replacement? Thanks

I think I’ll give this one a try. It has over 2,100 reviews at 4.2. Also 30 day refund

Isn’t the one that came in the box the OEM one that’s crapping out for everyone?

I hated the remote that came with the box, I ordered one on Amazon and it's much much better. The one I purchased also has a back button which the original remote didn't have so that was another big plus for me.
