3. Rii i8+
The Rii i8+ is one of the best Fire TV replacement remotes from a third-party. The manufacturer advertises it as a multi-function device with an LED-backlit Bluetooth mini wireless QWERTY keyboard and a touchpad with multi-touch support. Largely geared towards gamers, the device comes with a Game Handle design with 2 round dials on the two sides of the keyboard.
The iPazzPort Bluetooth wireless keyboard works with the Fire TV stick, Fire TV Cube, Xbox 360, PS3, Nvidia Shield, and a whole host of other Android TV devices. It comes with a backlit mini QWERTY keyboard and a multi-touch touchpad with a 360-degree flip design. The keyboard comes with multimedia control keys and PC gaming control keys, while the touchpad works as a mouse with the Fire TV stick.

This differs from the other iPazzPort model in our list by dropping the touchpad in favor of a sleeker, more traditional form-factor for a remote. However, like the other model, it also comes with a full QWERTY keyboard with LED backlit full-function keys, including multimedia buttons for home/return/pause/menu etc. It supports Bluetooth 3.0 and is compatible with the Fire TV Stick, tablets, PCs, laptops and more.
