Feels like a nice quality, well made, replacement for the original remote.From look and feel, it is hard to tell it apart from the original and it just works. All functions/buttons work exactly as you would expect straight out of the box.

Unfortunately my remote arrived damaged (see pic). The only packaging was a thin polyethene bag, and although it arrived bundled with a few other order items in an outer box, the plastic back of the remote didn't survive the journey. I realise the need to cut down on packaging but sending them out like this will result in a lot of them arriving damaged and getting returned. Luckily for the review purposes the remote is fully functional and so I've been able to test it. I will keep it as its usable.Although it is not specified as compatible, I can confirm that this remote works well with the Z11 Pro Max (and probably other boxes in the range).Build-wise it is very light and the plastic casing is obviously brittle. The buttons however have a rubber texture similar to the original Formuler remote and press/release very positively. There is no backlight but this is a fraction of the price of an original replacement remote so that is fair enough. The "5" numeric key has a couple of nobbles on it which help in low ight. The range and angle of operation is very good.There is a "TV Power" and "AV Source" button at the top (either side of the STB button) but absolutely no instructions as to how to learn the commands. I'm sure I'll work it out but even a url link to pdf instructions on the product page would help with this - but there is nothing. The "learn" process for the original Formuler remote didn't work for me.This is worth the money for an in-tact one. The sides/back are cheap feeling but the actual buttons and range/angle (i.e. the important bits) work really well. Its a decent and cheap replacement or spare, but the packaging needs improving and some sort of instruction for learning the TV buttons is needed. It those two were addressed I'd give it full marks for the price.EDIT: after a few more tries I DID managed to get the TV power button programmed using the same procedure as for an origanl remote
