RIVIERA Replacement Magic Remote for LG WebOS TVs - Voice & Pointer

In this review the RIVIERA Replacement Magic Remote Control is evaluated as a budget-friendly substitute for LG WebOS voice remotes from 2018 through 2023. The bottom line: this remote is for someone who needs a drop-in replacement that restores voice, pointer and wheel navigation without buying a new TV or an original-brand remote. Setup requires a Bluetooth pairing step, but once paired the control behaves like the originals for supported LG OLED, NANO and QNED series models.

Key Features

• Broad compatibility: Works with LG WebOS smart TVs from about 2018 to 2023, covering MR18BA to MR23GA family models so it fits many OLED, NANO and QNED sets.
• Bluetooth pairing: Uses Bluetooth for a direct connection to the TV, which enables voice and pointer functions once the remote is paired.
• Voice control: Includes a voice microphone button compatible with LG voice features, restoring hands-free commands on supported sets.
• Pointer and wheel navigation: The motion pointer and wheel (OK) button allow familiar menu and cursor control similar to original magic remotes.
• Single remote included: Orders include one remote control, letting users replace a lost or broken unit quickly without extra accessories.

Who It's For

This replacement remote suits owners of LG OLED Z2, G2, C2, B2 and various NANO and QNED series TVs who want an affordable way to regain voice and pointer features without sourcing a manufacturer part. It is especially useful for households where the original remote is lost, broken, or has failing buttons.

It is less appropriate for users who cannot or will not pair Bluetooth devices, or for televisions older or newer than the listed 2018-2023 WebOS versions; those customers should confirm model compatibility or seek an original remote from the TV maker.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Restores full voice and pointer functionality for compatible LG WebOS TVs at a lower cost than some OEM replacements.
• Easy pairing instructions: hold HOME and RETURN for 10 seconds then press the wheel to complete pairing.
• Covers a wide range of models (MR18BA through MR23GA families) so it works for many 2018-2023 sets.

Cons

• Battery is not included, so buyers must supply the required batteries before first use.
• Requires a Bluetooth pairing step and will prompt repeatedly until paired, which may confuse less technical users.
