Right out of the box, setup took longer than I expected.
Underneath that are the Back, Home and Settings buttons, Play\Pause buttons and Volume controls.ĭirectly above the D-pad is the voice search button, which morphs into a dedicated Alexa button in future versions of the remote. The circular D-pad is easy to use, and comfortable to rest your thumb on when you’re not using it. The button layout is simple and effective, too. This gives the 2nd generation remote a cleaner look that’s uncommon in most remote controls today. Instead of buttons for Netflix, Hulu or Disney+, there’s simply empty space at the bottom. Unlike the newer 3rd generation version, the 2nd generation remote doesn’t include quick-launch buttons for any other streaming services. The 2nd Generation Alexa Voice Remote is that peak, perfect design…at least as far as Fire TV’s go. They start adding more features, ruining that perfect design. Unfortunately, product designers usually can’t leave well enough alone. Products usually tend to get better and better over time, until they reach their peak. There’s no LED display, but there is a LED bar on the top-front corner that lights up blue when you power it up. On the top are some simple volume buttons and controls for Amazon Alexa. It’s a cube (obviously) of gloss black plastic, a little over three inches on each side.
Once you rip the plastic off (and there’s a lot of plastic), the Fire TV Cube is a thing of beauty. The sensor cable is shaped like a miniature Fire TV Cube, which is a nice touch. Inside the box is the Fire TV Cube itself, a 2nd generation Alexa Voice Remote, an Ethernet micro-USB dongle and an IR sensor cable. This compares well to the NVIDIA Shield TV or anything from MINIX.

It’s the kind of thing we’ve come to expect from Amazon, but it’s still so rare to find with Android boxes. The Fire TV Cube comes packed in a full-color, heavy-duty box with plenty of images and specs. You want the first impression to be great, and that starts as soon as you open the box. When you buy a higher-end streaming device, you have higher expectations.
