Our take on the Amazon Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro

The Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote Pro is Amazon's upgraded remote for Fire TV streaming devices and sticks. It adds a motion-activated backlight, a built-in speaker you can ring from the Fire TV app to find the remote, and two customizable buttons alongside Alexa voice control. It connects over Bluetooth at up to 30 ft and runs on two AAA batteries, which are included. Against the standard Fire TV remote it adds the backlight and the finder speaker; against a universal remote it gives up control of other TVs and streamers.
