Apple® - Remote for Select Apple® Products

Great replacement remote control, and very easy to pair with my Apple TV

Does what it should. Apple just makes good products. Multi-use & easy.

This is a great little remote but it's so small it can be easy to lose. This was a replacement for the one my wife stepped on after I knocked it off the couch accidentally. I do like the light, all aluminum construction versus the cheap plastic models.

Since the first time I used it, I have been watching movies on my desktop computer from my bed! Is awesome to control the volume and skip scenes.

Simple, slick looking design expected from Apple. Easy to use remote. However, the small form / buttons can create a bumbling experience for those with bigger hands. The slim form also tends to make it easy to fall into seat cushions or be carried off by toddlers to unknown places around the house. Replacement remotes are cheap enough priced though.

This is an excellent product. I do not like how ' has stopped including it with new computer purchases, but it is an excellent device. The design is very sleek and simple, with a pleasant contour to your hand. It feels very well built and durable. Not only does it work with Front Row which essentially is an AppleTV style menu that browses through all of your iTunes media, photographs, and allow you to watch current movie trailers. However, it works with other programs as well. I got this in conjunction with an HDMI cable to hook up my MBP to my TV. Moreover, I can put on a movie in VLC (media player), and the remote can play/pause, fast-forward, rewind, adjust volume, and switch in and out of full-screen mode. Can't say anything bad about this product. It is a very handy product, the price is reasonable (although it SHOULD be included with a Mac!), and it does even more than I expected.

Simple to use .. And lose. Nice cool design. Easy to pair with Apple TV . Works very smoothly with the interface.

Personally, I prefer to use other devices to control my Apple TV (such as a tablet or a phone through their app), but there is a level of convenience associated with the remote which makes it useful. Furthermore, setting your AppleTV up to a new wireless network without it becomes significantly more complicated, though presumably if you are opening the box for the first time, the remote is already included. So that being said, the product works exactly as advertised. It is simple to use and works quickly. My biggest "complaints" (though not really) are that its lightweight and small size make it really easy to lose (probably one of the reasons why you may be looking to buy another one). Furthermore, the range on the remote doesn't seem to exceed 15' unless you are pointed right at the hub, and any blockage in the middle will mute the signal acquisition. Personally, the reason why I've had to replace my remote is because it somehow magically became a chew toy for my dog - a very delicious and crunchy chew toy at that, apparently. In a nutshell, the remote works exactly as advertised. Despite my minor qualms, it's still a 5-star product. My only recommendation to Apple is to make their products less deliciously enticing to furry things.
