Chromecast Owners - Remote Control Lag?

Any of you Chromecast users notice input lag with the remote?

I'm using the brand new batteries it came with and there is an annoying input lag from the remote to the device

    Are you in a hurry?

  • Mine doesn't lag. At least not noticeably…

    yes mine does sometimes. I think it could be something interfering it or the chromecast is lagging.

  • did u try restarting? the option is in settings, usually fixes any issues including no sound/ lag with my old chrome cast

    • Yup. I've done that.

      Still the same.

      It works fine other than the annoying input lag form the remote

      • Do you have other TV or monitor that you can test the Chromecast with to see the lag with your remote there too?

  • Never had this issue with the Firestick, but the FS died and replaced it with a Chromecast.

    Seems like a few users reporting the issue but no fix yet

  • for the record, which model of chromecast?

    yes. Has the same problem. For my case, it's the remote control itself. I controlled chromecast TV using my samsung tv remote and feels less "sluggish". Contacted google about this problem, they wanted me to send back the remote for them to investigate before they send me a replacement unit. Told them I need the remote to control the chromecast tv and they wouldn't budge.

    I start to de-google myself and got the firestick TV 4K. The buttons are harder to press, but no lag issue whatsoever.

    ps: yes I did change battery, reset, re-pair, and non solved my problem.
    pps: Both Google Chromecast TV and the remote has some lag. When you combine both, for me, it's really annoying.
