I love it. So does my wife. It does everything I want (and I'm picky), is guest-friendly and geek-friendly, and it costs 8 bucks. You should buy it. Other reviews have summarized well what's great about this remote, so I'm just going to add some geek details. What I love: - Separate on and off buttons. Simple, but a huge ease-of-use win. Many devices now have discrete on/off codes, and this remote finally lets you use them. A big help to reliability when you've programmed a "system on" macro. - No LCD screen. Nice idea, but more often than not a crutch that replaces good design. Demands that you look down at the remote, takes space away from keys, and is typically butt-ugly. - Programmable macros, even on the device keys. - Decent IR emitter. So you hardly ever have to hit a key more than once, and macros execute reliably. - "Punch through" capability on most keys - Decent remote code database, and decent learning capability. All up, I'm extremely happy with u-43. If you're up for a very easy use universal remote control, you can make this one fine remote. Review: AWESOME! - This thing is great. I got it for my dad who is 85 and hates everything. ha ha. It took a few minutes to set up, and now it controls our new Sony OLED TV perfectly. It is very big, and the buttons are large with a lot of space in between them. I had bought this and another "senior" remote, and this one was way bigger and easier to hold and use. Only two minor complaints: I wish it didn't have the small text for the brand (such as SN for Sony, PA for Panasonic, etc, mixed in with the number buttons. They are just confusing and I had to explain to my dad to ignore them as he is studying the remote with a magnifier glass (his eyesight is very bad due to diabetes). I also wish the +100 number was a period instead. It's to put the decimal, for instance if you want to go to channel 10.2, you would press 1, 0, +100, 2. The "+100" I've never seen it used this way, at least in the United States. Also, the batter door is proper. I've bought a few recent "no-name" cheap products, and the battery door was impossible to open, including another "senior" remote. This one is proper. ## Features - Ease to Use for most popular brands in USA - Big button and smooth design with natural fit and comfortable to hold - Multiple set-up options are available and includes the quick set-up option that does almost all of work - Simple Design ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B2D4DIO | | Additional Features | Universal | | Battery Type | battery_type_aa | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,665 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1,645 in Remote Controls (Electronics) | | Brand | Gmatrix | | Button Quantity | 1 | | Color | U-43 | | Compatible Devices | Television, Audio/Video Receiver, Cable/Satellite Box, Media Player, Other Electronic Equipment | | Connectivity Technology | Infrared | | Controller Type | Button Control | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 1,329 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00025706627825 | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Gmatrix | | Max Number of Supported Devices | 1 | | Maximum Number of Supported Devices | 1 | | Maximum Range | 30 Feet | | Mfr Part Number | u43 | | Model Name | U-43 | | Model Number | U-43 | | Number of Batteries | 2 AA batteries required. | | Special Feature | Universal | | UPC | 025706627825 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gmatrix - **Color:** U-43 - **Compatible Devices:** Television, Audio/Video Receiver, Cable/Satellite Box, Media Player, Other Electronic Equipment - **Max Number of Supported Devices:** 1 - **Special Feature:** Universal ## Images ![Big Button Universal Remote Control - Retail Packaging (U-43) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81c+fnWT7sL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what type of battery does this remote take?** A: The current Gmatrix I just bought in Nov. 2019 takes 2 AAA batteries. Don't know why they refer to the model number as U-42 when the instructions call it model A-TV2; you can see this number in the picture of the instruction sheet. **Q: Can it work a firestick** A: I don't know. I didn't have much luck with this remote. It would turn the TV on or off. It did not sync with the cable (I couldn't use it to change channels). **Q: Will this work with VIZIO remote?** A: You have to set it on it on frequency. Does not work with vizio remote **Q: Will this control more than one device at a time? Cable box and TV?** A: Yes it should. Even though we're only using it for TVs, it comes with codes for multiple devices and TVs from many different manufacturers. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable, easy, Powerful, Cheap *by S***N on April 10, 2012* The U-43 is the best remote I've owned.

Buy this only if you're willing to gamble on it actually working, and have time to waste!! *by M***. on January 22, 2016* I wish there was a zero star rating for this product. What a disappointment. I wish that I had paid more attention to the details of individual reviews instead of the overall rating (which isn't terrible) prior to purchasing. It seems that if you get one that actually works,it's an okay remote, but I wasn't that lucky. Regardless of how many times I changed the batteries, the led was stuck in the "lit" mode. I tried every option given for programming and was unsuccessful. We have a Vizio TV and none of the listed codes worked. Sent back for refund; will buy another brand. Too bad it's junk because the giant buttons would have been great for my elderly Mom. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gmatrix Big Button Universal Remote Control - Retail Packaging (U-43) - GE Big Button Universal Remote Control for Samsung, Vizio, Lg, Sony, Sharp, Roku, Apple TV, TCL, Panasonic, Smart TVs, Streaming Players, Blu-Ray, DVD, 2-Device, Silver, 33701 - Clean Remote Universal TV Remote CR1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1815752-big-button-universal-remote-control-retail-packaging-u-43](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1815752-big-button-universal-remote-control-retail-packaging-u-43) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
