    This is my 2nd rii remote. I had received the Rii 8+ for Christmas and it worked 'fine' on my Android TV box. The remote that came with my Android TV box was terrible (still a pretty good box). The Rii 8+ does the job as it made navigating the box a lot easier. However, I needed the remote to work with the Fire TV stick and it did NOT work. That's because the remote does not support bluetooth. You need to use the dedicated usb received that came with the remote, which means this only worked on ONE device.

    Now i looked around 鶹 and noticed the Rii i4 supports Bluetooth. But besides the shape difference and bluetooth support, I have no idea what makes the Rii i4 different than the Rii 8+. So what did I think of the Rii i4?

    Strengths:

    It has all the necessary buttons to make typing in your youtube or searches on your media TV box/device much easier. There's even a wheel to spin up/down.

    Weakness:
    The 'ok' and and the single click doesn't quite work on the FireTV. It drives me nuts that single click doesn't work. However the two finger click (aka Right click) works which baffles me on the FireTV browser. Someone needs to update the driver so it works properly on the FireTV.

    Also, I know this is a mini Keyboard but i can't say the buttons are that fun to type on. I have a Logitech Dinovo Edge that i used on my other media pc and the buttons are a dream. It's also a $200 keyboard/mouse so that's not a fair comparison.
