“This remote seems too small. It is very easy to lose things the smaller they get and something that can fall in crevices in a couch seem like a nightmare. Is it too small? I also see folks saying the screen is hard to navigate a bit because of size.”

I don’t think so I believe it is a good size and I have had no problems with navigating the screen it just takes getting used to.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’ve had no issue with the size. It’s about the same size as a Roku remote and bigger than an Apple TV remote. I’ve also had no issue with the screen size. I love that it’s touchscreen - no more mashing buttons, just sliding your thumb over a navigation area or tapping. And it’s great that it lets you customize the controls and arrangement of controls for each input device. I had no problem pairing it with my input devices, some of which are pretty old. I’ve had it for 2 1/2 months and it’s my favorite TV-related purchase and right up there with AirPods for my favorite consumer tech purchase of the past couple of years. The only very minor issues - barely worth mentioning- are 1) it’s very sensitive so if you accidentally touch it you could activate a control unintentionally, 2) as others have noted the battery life is just so-so (a day or two) before needing to be re-charged, 3) you can’t use it while it’s plugged in to charge (but you can unplug it and use it right away and then plug it back in to keep charging), and 4) occasionally it’s clunky when switching from one input device to another (meaning you might end up turning the tv off and then back on in the process). These are all really really minor issues, just in the interest of full info. I saw that the price went WAY up not long after I bought mine, which is too bad and kind of weird for a consumer tech product that isn’t new anymore. But the sale price I see now is at least back to a more reasonable level, though still higher than December. Anyway unfortunately there really aren’t many options for a touchscreen remote, and so if you’re in the market for one, the current sale is probably worth taking advantage of.
