A scrolling remote is a small Bluetooth controller that pairs with your phone or tablet and sends touch gestures: swipe up and down, left and right, tap to pause or like, volume, and the camera shutter. It works in short-video apps such as TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels and as a page turner in reading apps like the Kindle app — but not with Kindle e-readers. The Solis Flick pairs in your phone's Bluetooth settings, works up to about 20 m (65 ft) away and docks magnetically in a 360° phone stand.
What does a scrolling remote actually do?
It acts like a tiny wireless finger. Once paired, each button sends a gesture to the screen: a swipe up for the next video, a swipe sideways for the next page, a tap for pause or like. Because it is a standard Bluetooth device, there is no app to install.

Where it helps most
- Reading in bed — page turns without taking your hand out from under the blanket.
- Cooking — scroll the recipe or the video with floury hands.
- Eating, stretching, the treadmill — phone on the stand at eye level.
- Photos — set the phone on the stand, step into the group shot and press the shutter.
- Sore hands or wrists — no gripping a phone for an hour.
iPhone or Android?

App layouts change, so the odd button can behave differently from one app to the next — scrolling and page turning are the most reliable. The quick guide in the box shows the pairing steps for both systems.
