The Sidekick Remote control, as reviewed by CordCutters.com

Let's face it — there's a pretty good chance that the remote control that came with your Fire TV — or your Apple TV, or your Roku, or even a Mi Box or Nexus Player — just doesn't cut it. Too few buttons, too few functions.

Enter the Sidelick. It's a little clip-on with programable buttons that can add a great deal of functionality for just a few bucks. (About $30, actually.)
