The stupid Netflix button on my “Toblerone” remote is constantly getting accidentally pushed. (Sometimes I think just walking too close to it sets it off.)

Are there aftermarket options for a remote to use with my Shield TV? I realize now how much better laid-out the remote for my old Roku was.

    While I don’t have a remote recommendation for you, I have used the app Button Mapper for a few years now and I’ve liked it.

    I have remapped the Netflix button (opens Shield settings) and the circle button (opens FLauncher) and have never had an issue with the button presses doing something I didn’t want. I’d recommend you give it a try until you find a remote that suits you better.

      I’m not set on a third-party remote…I’m just tired Netflix opening at inopportune moments. I’ll definitely look into your suggestion, thanks! 👍
