Replacement remote for Amazon Fire Stick

[ObilvionNizer]

Hey everyone, 

 

My mother-in-law has an amazon fire stick, she broke the remote that came with the stick and needs a replacement one and does not what to spend a lot on the remote, £10 max. I have told her about the FireTV app but she whats a physical solution. Are there any replacements you could recommend?

Already stated in my original post that i have told her about the android app but she wants an actual remote. The app is not the greatest. The fact that to movie up and down on the app you need to swipe sucks. Would be better if they had put buttons onto the app.

fair enough, in that case you might just need to buy a new remote as I don't think that there is any other way then

Your efforts are futile. You aren't going to find anything cheap as the TV Stick uses Bluetooth, which is a trigger word for the market to charge more. Plus, the Stick is grade A, premium Chinese design... which means the entire package isn't worth "repairing." Your best alternative is to buy another TV Stick from Amazon that comes with a remote. And advise your mother in law to stop going ham on plastic things from China.
