what do you call two worms in love
soil mates
that woman from me daughter and I
thought it was absolutely brilliant
don't forget comment your dad jokes down
below right so hello again everybody and
welcome back so a lot of people were
asking about the new Fire TV remote Pro
this new remote that they've released
and it's got a few features in there
that an absolutely brilliant but does it
Warren the price tag so we're just gonna
have a quick look now see what it's like
see what features it has and I'm looking
forward to seeing your thoughts in the
comments section down below right so
that being said don't forget to hit that
subscribe button and let's crack on
right so we're quickly just going to
take a look at the remote and then I'm
going to show you the new features and
also something I think might be a bit
Shady from Amazon but they've also got a
way of getting out of any criticism as
well so if we take a quick look there it
is it's literally just a remote and
that's it as you can see it does look a
little bit different from your usual
standard Fire TV remotes and it does
look a bit more premium Now if we open
up the box as you can see obviously we
get the remote we'd be gutted if we
didn't won't we then we get a little
instruction manual and a couple of
batteries included now Amazon seemed to
like putting this paper on and for some
reason I find it very difficult to get
off but I don't know why I thought I'd
show it to you but I did and then when
we take a look at the remote as you can
see it looks very clean but it doesn't
look too different to the original
remorse and then as you can see we've
got a few added buttons on there as well
now if I compare pair this to my third
generation Fire TV Cube remote the Fire
TV remote Pro is a little bit smaller
but you can see they look very very
similar and then I've also got me Fire
TV stick 4K Maxx remote and if I put
those together here's the remote Pro
very very similar in size and there's
only minor differences that tell them
apart now a couple of the buttons we can
see are the headphone button or a
Bluetooth button and then we've got one
and two which are quick keys and then
we've got the original quick keys at the
bottom including Prime video Netflix
Etc and one even saying apps now one
thing I will say is when I were clicking
the button tonight feels really nice but
so do all the other remotes they feel
absolutely fine so why would you
actually want to buy a Fire TV pro
remote now there are a couple of
different features that have been added
to it but one of the main ones for me is
fight TV remotes for some reason they
get lost a lot especially if you've got
children they seem to be like a fly to a
UV light they pick them up and then they
don't know where they've put them and
you're forever looking for them and as
you can see Miss Sun here he likes them
and then he just puts it down randomly
or something as simple as mid Dogo likes
a trample all over the remotes no end at
times I found it shoved down the back of
the sofa or in the crack in the crack
but you're forever looking for them and
it's just an inconvenience now one thing
that's been added is a find me feature
now this for me is a very good feature
but I also think it's something that
they're a bit behind the times with and
I think this should have been added a
lot sooner even to the normal standard
Fire TV remorse but here's how it works
find my remote
let me try to make your first room
remote control ring
[Music]
and just click a button to stop saying
oh yeah so this time I'm going to try it
with an echo device see if it does
anything so
oh
find my remote
control room
take out
yourself
especially if you've got kids and
cushions so the thigh me feature is
awesome you can ask any of your Amazon
devices around your home if you've got
multiple and you can ask it to find your
actual remote which will come in handy
for a lot of people but is it still
worth the extra price tag another
feature is well which is a welcomed
feature for a lot of people is the
remote is backlit so I was doing this in
the daytime so I had to get a blanket
over it but as you can see when you go
for the remote it lights up it does go
off and then if you touch it again you
can see it does light up so if you're
using it in a dark room this is going to
be very welcomed and we can't forget
also a feature that the Nvidia Shield
Pro have had for a very long time so
once again I think Amazon are a bit
behind the times but better late than
never now one of the things that really
did me with how Amazon advertised this
is the quick keys is at the bottom we've
got Prime video Netflix apps and Amazon
music now on Amazon itself what you're
going to see is all those buttons are
blank and you can see this in all the
different photos now yes Amazon could
say that it depends which country you're
in the buttons would be different such
as we might see Hulu if we're from the
US but I thought those four buttons were
going to be customizable to be able to
open any app on my Fire TV device but no
it actually comes with preset buttons
and the only Keys you can alter are the
number one and the number two you can
also change these quick keys at the
bottom but it is a bit of a ball ache so
we've got the number one and the number
two on the remote and they're going to
be our quick keys we're going to
allocate apps to open as soon as we
press them so if I click on the number
one button because I've not allocated
any application to that button yet we're
gonna start it now and it says you Gonna
Shine a shortcut to quickly access apps
and open the app by clicking one but you
can also assign voice commands to this
as well which could come in handy for a
lot of people right so we can click on
where it says set shortcut and you can
see it gives you a couple of
recommendations you can also click on
more actions you can go to guide my
stuff your profiles or what you can do
is if you open up an application I'm
going to Long hold the number one button
give it a couple of moments I don't know
how long you're meant to press it and
then as you can see above me it does say
open up the app that you currently using
click on that then I'm going to go home
and as you can see it says shortcut set
I'm going to press the number one again
give it a couple of moments and as you
can see it puts us straight in there now
I know a lot of people are going to be
asking does this work with side loaded
applications so if I open up a third
party app that's not originally from the
Amazon app store and I'm gonna long hold
the number one button in a moment I'll
do it now so I'm long holding and then
if I just get rid of me one second as
you can see it doesn't give me the
option to open up chubby TV it's still
telling me the most recent app that was
from the Amazon app store so I do think
it's a bit dog that you can't open
third-party apps with those buttons and
let me know what you think in the
comments section below now we have got
the headphone Button as well and I'm
going to click on that and what you can
see is it's just a quick way of
searching for Bluetooth devices if I
cancel that you can see I get the option
to add a device or manage device not
sure that needed to be there but it is
then a lot of people might be wondering
what does the apps button do because
I've got Prime video Netflix apps and
Amazon music as you can see there I'm
going to click on where it says apps and
then as you can see simply just takes us
across to his app section it's as easy
as going across to that there clicking
it and there you go now I'm quickly just
going to show you how easy it is to
actually pair the Fire TV pro remote up
and obviously this is going to be good
for people who have lost their remotes
or their remotes or pretty much on the
way out but if we go across the settings
remote some Bluetooth devices Amazon
Fire TV remotes what you're gonna see is
I've already added it and as you can see
you can adjust the button shortcuts from
here I'm going to press on the three
line button and then click the enter
button and remove that remote now all
I'm going to do is add a new remote long
hold the home button until the light
starts blinking so give it a couple of
moments and then you're going to see the
light starts flashing Fire TV remote
ready to pair click it you get a little
note there click OK and I can now use
the Fire TV remote Pro ding dangly do
now for anybody wondering about the
price of this it's 35 pound and that's
obviously just for the remote now that
to me seems very expensive considering
you can get an actual fire stick for
that price but I suppose the remote is
going to appeal to some people so they
will pay that one thing I didn't like as
well is I bought the brand new third
generation Fire TV Cube and I think it
should have come with this remote
already in there but no he had to buy it
as a bundle and pay the extra 35 pound
on top but like I said that's a quick
look at the remote it went on a little
bit longer than I expected I do
apologize but do let me know what you
will think about the new Fire TV pro
remote and is it something you would buy
I do like the added features but it's
also very expensive for a regular user
but like I said I'm interested to see
what you think I hope you enjoy the rest
of your day don't forget to hit that
subscribe button down below I'm watching
the and I'll see you soon
