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

Great! Works well, the volume button didn't work at first but once you go through settings you can put it on 😁

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.

Works fine, no issues

Doesn’t work well at all, have to really make sure that it’s pointed at the sky box to do anything and you have to press button most of the time constantly to get anywhere , it is now not working at all.

The buttons on this are almost too responsive. They need to be pressed for just a millisecond or else they move through several choices in one go. But it’s a much cheaper option than the real thing so not a bad choice. Aligning it with my TV worked quite well although it doesn’t turn the tv off when I turn the Sky off

Not as responsive as my old remote

Worked instantly with my Sky box

Doesn’t work well - has to be very close to box and pointed at an angle…very annoying vs the original controller.

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.

Está muy bien ,sobre todo que no se programa ,funciona al instante

Compré indebidamente un par de controles antes de este, y resultó ser una mala idea para controlar una TV que cuenta con sistema 3D. Éste resultó funcionar perfecto con TODAS las funciones para una LG 3D de hace unos 4 años. Buen precio.
