AN-MR650A Magic remote replacement with voice and mouse function
Voice and pointer control, restored
LG's Magic remote is more than a channel changer — the on-screen pointer and voice functions are central to how webOS televisions are navigated, so losing the original handset genuinely hobbles the TV. This AN-MR650A compatible replacement restores both capabilities. One thing to plan for: the advanced functions only become available after the controller has been successfully paired with the television, so allow a minute for that step when it arrives. Households that never use the pointer and just want basic buttons back could instead pick the LG AN-MR650A IR replacement without voice, which skips pairing and costs less.
Durable ABS construction, familiar in the hand
The handset is moulded from high-quality ABS, a wear-resistant plastic that stands up to daily handling while keeping the remote light and comfortable to hold. Button placement gives easy access to the full control set, so navigating menus, adjusting volume and jumping between apps feels the same as it did with the factory original. Power comes from two AA batteries, which are not included in the package, so grab a pair when you order. Inside the box is one remote control, ready to pair with a compatible LG TV straight away. Before ordering, test the TV with its physical buttons to confirm the set itself is healthy, since a television that ignores every input may need more than a new handset — although in the great majority of cases the worn-out remote really is the whole problem.
Matching the right replacement to your LG TV
LG has produced several Magic remote generations, and they are not interchangeable across all model years, so confirm your television originally shipped with an AN-MR650A style handset before buying. Owners of later LG sets are usually after the LG Magic remote AN-MR20GA AKB75855501, which serves the AN-MR19BA and AN-MR20GA generation. And if the loungeroom runs mixed brands, replacements such as the TCL RC902V 4K 8K TV remote control can be added to the same order, keeping every screen in the house covered in a single delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Does this replacement support LG's voice and mouse functions?
Yes, both the voice function and the on-screen mouse pointer are supported, which is what separates this handset from cheaper infrared-only substitutes. The functions become usable only after the remote has been successfully paired with your LG television, so complete the pairing step first. Once paired, navigation works the way the original Magic remote did, pointer and all.
Do I need to pair the remote before it works?
Yes, pairing with the TV is required before the voice and pointer features operate. The process follows LG's standard Magic remote pairing routine and only takes a moment. Basic operation depends on that successful pairing too, so this is not a handset you can simply point and press out of the box the way a plain infrared remote works.
What batteries does the AN-MR650A replacement take?
It runs on two AA batteries, which are not included in the package, so have a pair ready when the remote arrives. AA cells are the most common battery size in Australia and cost very little at supermarkets. The package contents are simply one remote control, moulded in durable, wear-resistant ABS plastic that is comfortable to hold for long viewing sessions.
Will it work with any LG television?
No single Magic remote covers every LG generation. This replacement is designed for TVs that originally used the AN-MR650A handset, so check your TV's original remote model before ordering. Sets from later years typically need the AN-MR20GA or AN-MR19BA generation instead, which The Remote Factory also stocks. If you are unsure, email contact@theremotefactory.com.au with your TV model number.
