When NVIDIA decided to refresh the Shield TV line up late last year, the new remote was easily one of our favorite new features.

NVIDIA also included a user-programmable button that can be customized to perform a long list of handy functions. Other useful features include a remote locator function (that required setup through the

The remote connects to the Shield via Bluetooth and should work just fine with the older 2015 and 2017 Shield TV models.
