Hi I have a Rii bluetooth keyboard which works great for everything but I cannot find a key or comination for the 3bar (menu) as fire tv remote. Has anyone got the answer if there is one?
The C key works fine for context menu in Kodi so its only when menu for app is required and it would then be a stand alone backup remote.
----------------
Worked it out if anyones interested---------------- control + escape
pleased with myself now
anyone know the centre button for amazon remote does not work as a select option
so i cant use some apps i.e. spotify
this is the wifi remote, which is bit temperamental to be honest
anyone know how to adjust the keymapping of buttons
thanks
I tried to remap the forward and backwards buttons from the fire tv remote as long press volume buttons.
They worked with xposed and xposed additions but after that the shield controller didn't work on games, just the directional and android buttons worked.
It was such a bummer because xposed additions could be a nice tool to get more functionality out of remotes but there seems to be some bugs.
same prob here, fire tv 2 remote, ok button dont work in some apps.
like amazon video.
is there any solution for that.
cheers Martin
Is there anything new on this?
I downloaded an app called Button Mapper that allows you to remap basically every button on your remote or controller.
Sadly though, while it actually lets you remap the 'select' button on the Fire TV remote, it does not have an option to remap it to 'Enter'. You can change it to other actions like home, back, volume up/down, mute, play/pause, next, previous, power dialog, turn screen off, etc.
I don't know why 'Select' or 'Enter' isn't an option though. Such a shame. I thought for sure this was going to be the solution to this issue.
I was able to remap the FF and RW buttons though. I don't use those buttons really, so I remapped them to control the system volume UP and DOWN. Works great for that at least

Not tried it with the FTV remote but has worked a treat for all my other remotes i have used.
Side load this Multilanguage Keymap Redefiner https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eyboard.multilanguagekeymapredefiner&hl=en_GB
This should be fixed I think in the Oreo update. The remotes should now correctly send the DPAD_CENTER command when pressing select on the remote. I know it was fixed with the Alexa Voice Remote (Fire TV 2nd gen i think?).
Voice button is still crap as it rarely works properly (activates the assistant but doesn't record voice) .
Hi,
I just got a Fire TV Cube 2nd generation and I was trying to pair it with a game controller to use Steam Link, Shadow and Geforce Now. I've been able to pair both a Xbox One and a PS4 controllers via bluetooth but both end up having the same problem; the home button doesn't work as expected and the start button doesn't work at all.
With the Xbox One controller the home button takes you back to the Fire TV launcher while the start button doesn't do anything. The select button seem to do what the home button should do as by pressing it the Steam overlay pops up but it takes it quite many seconds to realise I have pressed it.
So apparently Amazon has dropped support for game controllers, even theirs, but I don't get how the option is still available, controllers can be paired but then there is no way to configure them to fix these issues.
Does anyone know if there is any way to fix this problem?
Thanks.

You can use button mapper app.
Is there any way to control volume by remapping some buttons? I tried downloading the remapper app but it needs accessbility services, tried to find out how to activate that on the new generation with no success.
Hi, i have gamepass app installed and working on Firestick max, also i have an xbox controller paired.
My issue starts when i press the Xbox button on my controller (home button) when playing with gamepass app. Instead of having game menu popped in, it kicks me out the app and moved back to firestick home screen. Sadly, amazon firestick maps xbox home button on my controller as firestick home button. Is there a way to prevent this or to remap that button? Thanks
