5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome remote, just get it!
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2023
Absolutely LOVE this remote, wish I had bought it years ago! I just put batteries in it and it worked immediately, no complicated pairing procedure required. We received the MR20GA model, packaged well, in an LG box. This is an actual LG remote, not an imitation. We have a 2018 LG 65" 4K LED UHD TV (65UK6500AUA) and this remote works great. It communicates with the TV using RF (radio frequency), not IR (infrared). This means you don't have to point it at the TV, you just need to be within 30' of the TV for it to work (I love that). It takes two AA batteries (not AAA), which were not included. It also has a mouse pointer function (similar to old Wii remotes) that's pretty handy. The fit and finish is exactly what you expect from LG. The scroll wheel has positive detents and scrolls smoothly, the four-way clicker buttons (around the scroll wheel) have a very tactile feel, but a very muted sound (not annoyingly loud like some of the cheap imitation remotes I've had). There's a very ergonomic index finger recess in the middle of the back of the remote which makes consistent hand placement a breeze. I love that I don't even have to look at the remote, I just pick it up and it's in the same position in my hand, every time. I can easily find the most commonly used buttons without having to look down at the remote. Having that little cut-out in the back makes a huge difference to me. The LG remote that came with our TV new was small, poorly designed, and cheap. It didn't have that recess, it was the same width, depth, contour, etc. the entire length of the remote. That (among many other design flaws) made for a terrible experience, as it was difficult to know where the remote was in my hand, I always had to look down at it. I realize this sounds a little petty, but once you've had a well-designed, ergonomic remote, you won't ever want to go back.

5.0 out of 5 stars LG original Magic remote is horrible

Original Magic remote stopped working within months. The pointer would aim anywhere but at the tv and 2 buttons stopped working.
So far this one works very well. Glad I bought it.

I really like this new remote, I installed the 2 AA batteries with the TV already on and it linked to the TV with no problems. I didn't have to press any special sequence of buttons to have it link to the TV. The quality of the remote feels a lot nicer than the original remote that came with my LG tv. The buttons also feels like they sit up higher then the original remote, the motion sensor works perfectly and all the shortcut buttons work perfectly. If you need a new remote I highly recommend this one.

Works seamlessly. Love the design, the feel and the look. Love that all I had to do was add batteries and point at the TV and OMG it works, no bloody coding etc. Had to get a new remote as dog ate the original, husband got a universal and what a disaster!

1.0 out of 5 stars Newer ones don't work well
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024
I purchased one of these remotes in Nov. 2022 to replace our original that had gotten damaged, and it worked great. However, at one point the wheel had broken inside and would no longer work. Purchased another replacement, but it had major problems - the buttons would occasionally work, often only after shaking the remote a bit, pointing it directly at the TV, and pushing the desired button multiple times. Trying to use programmed quick-set keys was even worse. And the pointer on the screen would often go off on its own regardless of where I was pointing. So, I returned it and got another one. Although slightly less bad, it still had the same problems. I tried just living with it for a while, but it just got too frustrating.

Eventually, I found some YouTube videos that showed that I could fix the broken wheel in the first replacement. So I took apart the new remote and my older one with the broken wheel, and put the good wheel from the new remote in the older one, and now I have a remote that works perfectly again!

So, the remote purchased from Amazon in Nov. 2022 worked great, but supposedly the same remote purchased in March 2024 is awful. I did notice when I took them apart that the older one had a white control board while the new one's was green, so maybe a different supplier. Amazon (or maybe the manufacturer?) needs to go back to the old one. And maybe fix the issue with the wheel that breaks too easily while they're at it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exact Factory Replacement remote control for LG TV.
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024
This remote control is the exact model I needed to replace my defective remote. Seems that my buttons on my old unit were getting harder to push. One button even sunk in. So I needed a replacement remote. This was fairly easy to pair, and worked great. The buttons on this one need some breaking in, as they are stiff, and require a solid push. Don't recall my original remote being that difficult, but a good thing, you can not easily push a button now unless you really want to. Perhaps they changed the response, to keep people from hitting random buttons when they did not intend to. Either way, nice remote, just what I needed! Real manufacturer replacement. Not a clone!

Much cheaper than in the local stores and does the job, including gyro and microphone.
I bought this one after I got very disappointed of a different similar product,
but not LG, that I bought before.
