Hi guys. My Firestick Lite remote is problematic now. Quite often it won't respond to any button presses and when I fiddle with the sprung loaded button in the battery compartment I can usually get it to work. There don't seem to be any OEM remotes on amazon, just compatibles. I've heard some can have stiffer buttons or don't respond to updates, things like that. Still, do you think this one should be ok? It's only £9.99.

 
This is what the AI overlords had to say :D

The best replacement remote for an Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite is the official Amazon Alexa Voice Remote (3rd Generation).

It is compatible with the Fire TV Stick Lite and is a worthwhile upgrade over the original Lite remote because it adds TV power and volume buttons, as well as Alexa voice control.

Thanks. Yeah I did a search for it and it's been updated to a newer version, but both versions have listed that they're either not compatible with a 1st generation or 2nd generation Firestick. I don't know what generation mine is but I don't think it's 3rd. So I think I'll just buy the cheaper £9.99 one and see how that goes.

Actually, I just found out by looking in my Fire TV settings that it says 3rd generation. I thought mine might be earlier. Anyway, I've gone ahead and ordered the cheapo one and if it's no good I'll get the official Alexa remote.
