What’s better than using TCL TV Remote Control by Mobile Tools Shop? Well, try it on a big screen, on your PC or Mac, with BlueStacks to see the difference.
TCL TV Remote Control feels like a simple spare remote that lives on the screen. It works with most TCL sets, including TCL Android TV and TCL Roku TV, and even some older infrared models. The layout is clean and easy to read, with the usual stuff up front like volume, channels, input, home, arrows, and back. There is a trackpad-style panel that lets the user glide through menus with swipes and quick taps, which makes app rows and on-screen keyboards less annoying. A voice button is there too, so quick searches are possible if the mic is allowed. For Smart TVs it needs the TV and the device on the same Wi-Fi, then it usually finds the set and pairs in a few seconds. Roku models may pop a small confirmation on the TV the first time, Android TV models just accept network control.
Running it on a PC with BlueStacks is surprisingly handy. The bigger screen makes every button easy to hit, and typing a movie title with a keyboard is faster than any phone keyboard. Just a heads up, IR control only works if the hardware has an IR blaster, so on a computer it is Wi-Fi only. There are minor differences per TV type, but the app keeps it consistent enough that no one needs a manual. It is unofficial, so do not expect TCL branding everywhere, but the basics are solid and it gets out of the way so the show can start.
Big screen. Bigger performance. Use BlueStacks on your PC or Mac to run your favorite apps.
