Remotes

[hkaner3]

Hey all. Just want to know if there are recommended remotes that don't have stupid preset buttons like Netflix, Prime, etc...

I never remember the buttons exist when I want whatever channel they shortcut to, and I ALWAYS manage to bump them at the worst possible time.

So is there a good one that's laid out well (the Roku remote is really well laid out), and doesn't have a bunch of extra **bleep**?

None that I know of.    If those buttons REALLY bug you, you could slice them off even with the remote case with a razor blade and cover the gaps over with tape, like black electricians tape.

On Amazon, I see some third-party remotes that say you can reprogram or disable their short cut buttons. here is an example:

I have no experience with it. Note that it's an IR remote, so no usage with Stick models, and you have to point it in the general direction.

The layout is somewhat different - audio controls on top for example - some people may like that, but it looks a bit crowded to me.
