Hi, I tested the

Tronsmart Mars G01 2.4GHz Wireless Gamepad

and it works fine.

[EDDY2722]

Thanks for the swift response were you able to navigate the android tv box menu using this gampad did you tried retroarch ?

[kostaman]

Anyone know if this box has eMMC Flash Storage ???

No details anywhere.

[Erkutyer]

? didnt close LED lights..Anyone solved this?

Hi, I tested the

Tronsmart Mars G01 2.4GHz Wireless Gamepad

and it works fine.

Can not see it very clear from the picture, but it looks to me that a fairly large heat sink can be mounted, especially if you remove the LED from the lid.

Can you please confirm if my observation is correct, as it assume it otherwise will run hot in tropical Thailand?

Are you aware of a working custom firmware for this device?
