DU6900D TV Remote

We just hung a DU6900D set.  Is there an "old fashioned" remote (Samsung or aftermarket) that will match well with it in addition to the provided one? 

I'm 71 and like my remote to have a nice clear button or rocker switch for single functions: Channel Up, Channel Down, Volume +-, 0-9 for inputting OTA channels and so on; the current sleek itsy-bitsy black on black items with multifunctions  (Press once for Volume, twice for Channel, Press and Hold for Closed Captioning options) are a REAL pain.  

Our daily needs are simple: OTA channels, a few apps (Netflix, PBS, Prime, etc), volume, mute.   I've got the SmartThings phone app, but that's a "no way" item for my wife. 

Any suggestions?    Thanks!

Hello! Thank you for reaching out! Yes, you can purchase one on our website! Please click the link: https://www.samsung.com it should take you to the universal remote offered. This one does have basic functions, however, it doesn't have quick shortcuts for certain apps, there may be some on Amazon that you would be able to get if that's a main feature for you, but I would be unable to recommend them as compatibility isn't always guaranteed.

Wow, it never occurred to me that these were 'backwards compatible'!  Yep, our existing Samsung remote in our kitchen works it just fine...so I'll order one ASAP.  Thanks!

The BN59-01315J is the closest remote model, containing the Netflix, Prime Video, and Samsung TV Plus buttons, the same shortcut buttons as the One Remote (except for Disney+, of course).1733812883981.gif

My mother is 85 and the Samsung remotes are not kind to those that have trouble reading without a magnifying glass.  Is there a replace remote with the voice command?  Same series TV, DU6900D
