Mine came this afternoon.
Even the wife can use it!

She did ask "where are the numbers? As the harmony 300 had a number pad...
I asked her when was the last time she used the numbers and that put paid to that :P

The audio button for the assistant is so much more intuitive to use than "Ok Google" too IMO.

You use the button remapper app for that?
Does it interfere with Volume control do you know?

What's the story with the volume buttons on the 2019 Pro? On my 2017 model the volume touch slider simply adjusts the volume on the device itself...on my 2019 model, I get a message about setting up IR controls or somesuch, and when I do, the Shield lags for 4-5 seconds and still doesn't change volume...

Is it adjusting the volume on the tv via the shield remote then, rather than the 2019 model having its own internal volume functions?

It's called Button Mapper on the Play Store. Here's a simple guide, you need to enable it in the Accessibility Options first before it is customizable. You can do a 100 different actions too, very cool I must say.

Thanks for that.
My Netflix button now has 3 actions assigned:)

Anyway to get an instant notification when they (remote's) come back into stock?

Have just subbed to the thread - so hopefully that may help. Or alternatively if anyone wants to nab one for me, I'll square them up via PayPal or revolut.

Cheers.

One of my preferences it to assign it to nothing. Whenever I sit on the remote it seems to be the button that gets pressed. Annoying when I am watching amazon, shift my ass, and the movie stops to load up netflix.

You can do that in the Button Remap app.

Hi
Can I ask which website you ordered from?
Is it just the control that has option for delivery to Ireland ? (I can't check as out of stock)
I'm looking to get the shield pro but getting error so wonder if there is a loop hole to get product delivered from the nvidia website.

thanks

Hello,

I ordered from https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/shield/buy/ but the order was just for the remote. I only get options for UK and Portugal if i try purchase the Pro.
