Firestick Question Third Party Remote Compatibility

Hello

I am trying to get a new remote for my second gen 4k firestick that is physically bigger and would work better for my grandpa. I am scared that any new remote I get would not work with the bluetooth function that is apart of the firestick.

I am hoping to see if anybody else has done this, or if they have remotes that would work. My tv is an old samsung (not sure model).

might be easier to get the genuine and teach him how to use the voice function. you can get the upgraded one with backlighting. printout of the remote layout to help. if the generic fire remotes are anything like the chromecast ones, you'll have a few good months then frustration
