Sky q remotes

[krusty]

We have sky q with 3 mini boxes. We need our remote to have a BACKLIGHT to buttons so that we can see the buttons easily. The sky remotes work but none have backlights on buttons. This is what my mother in her 90's, a sky customer needs as well. I have POA over mums affairs

Hi @krusty 

Afraid there are not any Q remotes that have backlights.

 It you have an Apple device with Sky Go you can set up a virtual remote to control your Q boxes.
See following link.
