Do note, though, that some have reported that using this remote with Walmart’s streamers can cause issues with software updates, where an update to the new remote could brick it. How’s the performance? In terms of speed and connection, it’s identical to the G10 sample I tested and the G10 remote that ships with the Walmart Onn devices.

Mecool’s version of the G10 remote is based on the reference design, using identical hardware, just with the company’s logo plastered along the bottom and customized buttons for YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, and Google Play. Luckily, there’s a way to buy it without wasting money on an entire additional streamer, as Mecool is selling its Google TV G10 remote on its own, and it works as an excellent replacement remote for virtually any Android TV device. The Google G10 reference remote is due to arrive on more Android TV devices, but sadly it’s not sold officially as a universal replacement.
