RF Remotes

Hello, sorry in advance for the following very weird question.

Curious if anyone has played with the RF remote that are 315 MHz like these;

-- I'm looking to understand if they have a 'learning' code or they 'should' simply all work together without configuration. ex; getting many receivers (from different batches) all working with the same remote or not.

I bought a few units and the ones that were in a 'kit' where working great together, but the extra remote/board sold separately do not seams to be sending/receiving anything. (the small led on the remove is on when pressed)

The ones that sadly works is a very ugly brown remote with buttons that will jam and get stuck half of the time. so I'm looking for a more pretty remote.

The one on adafruit is pretty nice and looks to be available in Asia on sites like Aliexpress but before ordering a few hundreds I'd like to be sure to understand well how these works since my locals test are not looking good. *since the exact same remote from adafruit will not work on the many boards I have.

Receivers all have the same IC: PT2272-M4, but silk screen markings vary from RO2A to YK04.
I've made a very simple test bread board to validate remote/board functionality with LEDs.
and thus all remote seams to be labled with 315MHz not all receivers seams to be getting any signal.

so it's either I got a few receivers that are defective and all should be seamlessly working together or I've overlooked possible configuration, with some learning code to 'configure' the remote.

Thanks

Cheap remotes like that are AFAIK set to a 12-bit tri-state address with solder bridges.
Or the boards are hard-wired for a certain address.
There are also different transmit frequencies used (set witha resistor).
Look at the PT2264 datasheet.
The Arduino can encode/decode the data with e.g. the RcSwitch library.
