You are definitely right about Amazon Fire TV devices having a much better remote design than anything the Roku has.
My Fire TV remotes have never had any pairing problems like I have had with Roku.
Amazon Fire TV remotes have no excessive battery drain or low battery warnings popping up spamming your screen like Roku does. In fact I've been using the same batteries that came with my remote in my Fire TV Cube for 15 months and they still work perfectly, they'll never last that long with Roku voice remotes.
Amazon Fire TV remotes have the mute and volume buttons located on top of the remotes where they belong, instead of being located on the right side of the remote where Roku has them, so you don't accidentally press those volume control buttons when picking up the remote by the sides like what happens with Roku remotes all the time.
Roku could learn a lot by studying the Amazon Fire TV remotes because the current Roku remote designs are a total joke! The volume and mute button placements were designed by someone who has absolutely zero common sense and that person should be fired, the person higher up who approved that design should be fired twice!
It absolutely blows my mind that anyone ever thought for a second that putting those buttons on the side of the remote was a good idea, especially when there is plenty of room on top of the remote for them to exist.
