- The Shield TV Pro remote features a physical Netflix button that launches the service’s app when clicked.
- Users irked by the button are 3D printing a solid case that hides it and makes accidentally clicking it more challenging.
- Others are relying on third-party apps to remap the button and assign custom shortcuts to it.
With every Netflix price hike, numerous users cancel their subscriptions and explore alternative streaming services. Given how popular the platform is, though, many Android TV box remotes offer a dedicated button that launches the Netflix app whenever pressed. Since removing the physical button without breaking the remote can be challenging, users have come up with a few creative workarounds.
Redditor u/MustEatTacos has shared a photo of their Shield TV Pro remote shielded by a 3D-printed case. Notably, the cover’s cutouts only accommodate the essential buttons, such as power, play/pause, volume, etc. Meanwhile, the Netflix button positioned towards the remote’s bottom is entirely concealed by the hard case — limiting accidental clicks. If you have a 3D printer, you can create your own cover by following these instructions.
