    I lost my Apple TV remote, so I had to get a replacement. I was happy that I could purchase the remote separately. The remote functions perfectly well and has a sleek design. I have had no issue with it.

    Great remote, long battery life. Its size is both a plus and a minus. The minus is that its small size makes it very easy to lose.

    Best Buy carries a range of original Apple products. They are the first place I go if I need to replace an Apple item. I am pleased as always at the quality and price for the Apple Remote I needed to replace.

    This is a simple yet beautifully designed device. It fits perfectly in your hand and the brushed aluminum feels great. It's sleek and beautiful yet durable. I've dropped it a few times but you would never know it. Despite taking a swim in dishwater my original device works fine with the exception of the Up button on the directional pad. I now use that device as a remote control for my MacBook Pro. This purchase was made to use exclusively with my Apple TV. I'm fully satisfied with this purchase.

    Found out about this remote on a youtube video. It no longer works with newer Macs, but it works awesome with mine! Basically just control iTunes with it, but that's all I really wanted it for.....

    It worked good. These break fairly easily though and are easy to lose. You are lost in the water without one of you happen to change wi-fi modems. Your secondary remote (ie iPad, iPhone or iPod) will not work and you cannot change the settings on the device without a remote. Hated to buy a new one but had to. I leave it in a separate place now as to not lose or break it.

    Works great I like that the battery last so long. I wish it was larger so it would be easier to keep track of.

    I lost my Apple TV remote and there is no Apple Store near me. I was able to purchase it from BestBuy and pay no shipping fee by picking it up in store. The item was ready in 20 minutes.

    We have had to buy a second one as they are small and easy to loose. They are easy to use. If you want to use all features on Apple TV it's a must replace item.

    usually comes with AppleTV purchase. But my Apple TV box did not contain the remote.. And the Apple TV cannot be programed without the remote. I had to purchase a remote as the TV was bought as a gift for me in another city and I could not go to the store to receive a remote.. The remote works well...but it was aggravating that the store where the apple TV was originally purchased would not just send me a remote. (I did have a copy of the purchase receipt)

    We had lost our Apple TV remote, and the replacement was necessary for operation of the unit. I had some trouble pairing it with the base, but once I figured that out it worked perfectly.

    Apple's obsession with making things smaller really backfired with this remote. You'll lose it somewhere in the sofa within a few days. One of those times where you actually wish it was bigger.

    This was the easiest remote I've ever paired up. Chances are it is already paired up for you and you don't have to do a thing. Most, if not all, Apple TV remotes are interchangeable.

    We use apple remote for controlling videos, music, and keynote presentations. Just like most every other apple product, it's ready to go out of box. Point, click, good to go.
