A button mapper is the first app I install on any Android TV

I started using Android TV devices with the 2017 Nvidia Shield, but I have never found myself with as many options inside my home as I do today. My TV itself — the Xiaomi TV P1 43-inch — as well as my local French TV provider’s set-top box both run the platform. So does the Chromecast with Google TV stick that I had bought before those two, and the Android TV projector I’ve installed in my kitchen. If you think getting used to one remote is bad enough, try four. In the middle of this madness, one app has kept me sane, and it’s the same one I’ve been installing on all of my Android TV devices since 2017: Button Mapper.
