Looking for a reliable replacement Chromecast remote (G9N9N) - needs to be identical or very close
Hey,
My mom's original Chromecast TV remote (G9N9N) just died, and I need to get a replacement.
The problem is most third-party remotes I’m seeing have really bad reviews (laggy buttons, pairing issues, poor build quality, etc.), so I’m a bit hesitant to just buy a random one. From what I’ve seen, that concern seems pretty justified - people often complain that cheap replacements stop working quickly or have unresponsive buttons.
I need something that is either identical to the original remote or very, very close in layout. This is for my mom, and switching to a completely different style remote (like a smart remote or something with a totally different layout) would be a big problem for her.
So I’m specifically looking for:
same (or almost identical) button layout
reliable connection (Bluetooth, no weird lag)
decent build quality
If you’ve actually used a replacement remote that fits this and works well long-term, I’d really appreciate a recommendation (brand/model/link if possible).
Thanks!
