Customers are enthusiastic about the Siri Remote's ease of use, improved design and build quality, and the inclusion of a power button. Many appreciate the enhanced size and feel of the remote, noting that it's more comfortable and substantial than previous versions. While some users experienced sensitivity issues with the touchpad, the overall response highlights significant improvements over earlier iterations. The improved battery life is also frequently praised.
This remote is waaaaay better than Apple's previous remote (the glossy, slim, black one) for the Apple TV. It feels more like a remote due to the design and weight. Buttons are very reponsive. A must for any ATV owners without it.

This is what the remote should have been from the start. I HATED the remote that came with our Apple TV immediately! We got the remote from Function 101 which was an improvement but was missing a button which made it difficult for quickly connecting headphones. It also didn't have voice control but I don't care about that. This new remote is awesome! Thicker and easier to handle. You can turn off the touch which was horrible on the old Apple remote.

Purchased as a backup for our remote. It works good, as does our original remote.
