A premium, wearable remote for padel scoring

Most of the remotes we recommend are cheap clickers chosen to be invisible that just get the job done. The Flic 2 is different: it’s a beautifully crafted smart button, and you aren’t buying it for the price. You are buying it so you can wear it and stop holding a remote entirely.

The Hardware

The Flic 2 is a single, premium button with a satisfying mechanical click. It is IP44 splash-resistant—more than enough to shrug off sweat and light drizzle. Here is why it works so well on the court:

• Three triggers, one button: It recognizes a press, a double-press, and a hold. PadelRef reads all three, plus a triple-press.
• Battery life: The internal coin cell is rated for up to three years of use.
• Range: Its Bluetooth LE connection comfortably covers a full padel court.

On Amazon it now comes in every combination: a white or black single, and white or black three-packs. The white single is featured here; all four are linked below.

A note on price: We don’t quote exact figures because Amazon prices fluctuate, but be honest with yourself—this is the premium end of the market. Check the product page for the live price.

Pairing: Native, No Vendor App

Our standard advice for remotes is to avoid anything that requires a vendor app—and with PadelRef the Flic 2 now passes that test too.

PadelRef integrates Flic’s official SDK, so it speaks the Flic 2’s protocol natively. You pair the button right inside PadelRef: open the remote settings, start Flic pairing, and hold the button until it connects. There is no need to download the Flic app and no “Universal” keyboard mode to configure, and nothing runs in the background afterwards.

The one wrinkle: a Flic pairs to a single app at a time. A brand-new button pairs immediately; if yours was previously used with the Flic app or another phone, reset it first—hold it for about seven seconds while PadelRef scans, or remove and reinsert the battery and then hold the button for ten seconds.

How It Fits PadelRef

The Flic’s single-button design shines because its three physical triggers map perfectly to PadelRef’s scoring logic:

• Press: Add a point to Team A
• Double-press: Add a point to Team B
• Triple-press or hold: Undo the last point

Because a “hold” physically feels different from a “tap,” there is less risk of misfiring under pressure compared to timing a double-click. As always, test your inputs in PadelRef’s mapping wizard before stepping onto the court.

Buying direct from flic.io is usually the surer bet - the shop stocks every colour and the clip-on accessories that come and go on Amazon.

The Wearable Clip (The Best Bit, With an Asterisk)

The entire reason to buy the Flic over a generic clicker is the metal clip. It fastens the button directly to your shirt or waistband, allowing you to score with a quick tap while keeping your hands completely free.

Here is the asterisk: The clip is a separate accessory, not included in the standard box, and it is frequently out of stock. Treat the wearable setup as your end goal, not a guarantee. The button is excellent on its own, but the clip is the upgrade you are chasing.

Colours and Multipacks

The white single above is our default pick, but the same button comes in a few flavours—choose by colour and by how many courts (or players) you’re kitting out:

Is this overkill for casual scoring?

Honestly, yes. If you just want to test out hands-free scoring, a generic Bluetooth clicker does the job for a fraction of the price with zero setup.

The Flic earns its price tag if you want a premium, wearable device and plan to play for a long time. If that doesn’t sound like you, start with the cheapest Bluetooth remote that works for padel scoring instead.

The Bottom Line

The Flic 2 is the highest-quality button we feature and the only one you can truly wear. However, it is the priciest option, and its essential metal clip isn’t always available.

Buy it with your eyes open for the premium, wearable experience. If you prefer something that simply pairs and disappears, check out our roundup of the best Bluetooth remotes for padel scoring for cheaper, simpler alternatives.
