Gvirtue Replacement Remote Control Compatible with All Sky Q Box, Mini and Silver Box (Non-Touch, No Voice Control)

Well packaged, works well, and has a nicer feel than the original sky remote

The remote is ok in general but the 'volume up/down' button and the 'source' button don't work right from day one. All other buttons seem to be ok. Update on 18/1/2026. More buttons have stopped working making this remote useless. My recommendation is don't buy it.

Brilliant remote, same quality as the original and far cheaper. Very easy to setup(2 minutes), just follow the instructions on the packaging. Very happy

Not compatible with Sky Stream/Puck. Instructions stated if the first code doesn't work try another however there was only one code provided. After a quick Google for more codes tried multiple codes but still no luck. Reset multiple times, still nothing. Had to return due to the false description.

Somewhat disappointing. It does control the sky Q box and whan you switch on the box it switches on the TV. It will also control the volume on the TV but unfortunately I cannot get it to switch the TV off when the sky Q,box is put in standby. In fact it will not switch the TV to standby at all. I have gone through the set up procedure and used every code I can find for my Panasonic TV. Nothing works. Very disappointing as it is one of the few things the one it is replacing will still do. Everything else is fine once you find where some of the buttons are as they are located in different places to the remote supplied with the box. We have not had it long enough to comment on durability or battery life.

works just fine, just had to reset it up with the t.v

It’s a bit clunky compared to the genuine article and the volume buttons and mute switch don’t work!

No set up needed, just pop the batteries in and use it

Funciona igual que el original, se ve igual que el original y se siente igual. De verdad no gastes en otros cuando puedes usar este más barato.

I'd been searching for a new Blu-ray player since my old one died an untimely death. Perusing a surplus shop the other day and came across a great little Samsung BD-J5700 unit, and because it's remote was missing, I picked it up for a song. It's always a bit of a gamble when buying replacement remotes, sometimes they work, or only some of the functions work, or they don't work at all. I'm happy to report that the Gvirtue AK59 is an excellent replacement unit for my "new to me" player. The remote also includes buttons to control a Samsung brand smart TV. Though I have not had a chance to test out the TV buttons as I don't own a Samsung TV. Otherwise all Blu-Ray functions work perfectly. Your mileage may vary depending on your model of Samsung device, though I would assume if your unit isn't too old, it should work. For the price it's a fairly low risk test. Construction seems solid, buttons have a good press feel to them, albeit button clearance is a little tight and if you've got big fingers it might be more difficult for you. Though most controllers these days have this problem. Runs on two AAA batteries. Back is curved instead of being flat, which makes it easier to hold. There is an indentation for your forefinger about 2/3 of the way up. Signal strength is decent, I tested from about 15 feet in a bright room, and an angle of up to about 45 degrees from centre. Reading through some of the other reviews that gave the unit 1 star. It seems that some people seem to think this is a universal remote, that can be programmed. It is not a programmable remote. It's a simple 1 to 1 replacement. You simply insert batteries and it works. No manual required, no setup required. Also, the ad lists the exact models of Samsung player that work with it so if your device is not on the list, it may not work. Can't fault it for that. I will of course update this review if I have any issues after months of use.

Funcional, buena calidad.
