📱 Smartphone IR App (Alternative):
-
There’s an Android app called SMART TV BOX REMOTE X96 MINI supporting IR-based control from a smartphone—no official endorsement, but offers macro programming and keyboard input via phones with IR blasters.
-
However, it only works if your phone has an IR blaster. Many modern phones don’t, and reviews suggest it’s cluttered with ads and not officially supported.
⚙️ Key Considerations:
-
Compatibility: The cloned remotes are designed for X96 Mini and X96W models—look for one listing those names.
-
Connectivity: They’re typically IR-only; if you need Bluetooth or voice control, you’ll have to use original remotes that came with your TV box, or purchase a Bluetooth version centered on your box’s chipset.
-
Durability: These budget-wise IR remotes are functional but may lack premium build quality. Check user reviews on seller pages before purchasing.
👍 Recommendation:
For a cost-effective replacement, consider the wireless IR replacement remote for X96 Mini/X96W—it works well for basic navigation. Just ensure the listing specifies compatibility with your exact model, whether X96 Mini, Mini Plus, or X96W.
🛍️ Where to Buy:
-
Walmart offers versions described as “Wireless Replacement Remote-Control for X96 X96mini X96W Android Smart TV Box”.
-
You can also find them on Amazon, eBay, or AliExpress by searching for “X96 Mini replacement remote”.
🆚 Do You Need More:
If you’re looking for features like voice input or Bluetooth connectivity, please let me know your X96 Mini’s firmware or chipset (e.g. S905W, S905X, etc.). That’ll help me find a compatible advanced remote with voice/Bluetooth features.
