The pink one works

I had issues with my new Chromecast 4K device recently. Well, actually it was an attempt to add a new Chromecast device.

I've had Chromecast 4K devices, but when the HD version came out, I bought one to go on an HD TV. When I replaced the HD TV with a UHD/4K device, I didn't immediately put a 4K device on it. But recently I decided to do just that.

My older Chromecast 4K device was the standard white color, but I decided I'd get one of the other colors for my new one. I had two others to choose, besides white: light blue ("Sky" was what Google calls it) and pink ("Sunrise" is what Google calls it).

I bought a blue one, and it had problems with the direction buttons. I wasn't sure if it was the remote or the device, but after swapping remotes with another Chromecast that had no issues, I ruled out the remote as the problem.

This happened twice. I returned the blue Chromecast 4K device and got another one that happened the same problem.

I made another replacement, but got the pink ("Sunrise") one instead. It works just fine.

This makes me wonder what it is about the blue ones. Two different blue ones had an issue with the direction buttons, but the white and pink ones have had no issues at all.

My Streaming Life usually makes a lot of sense. Google is making me confused.
