    Upgraded my remote from the old black remote and will say this one is more durable and i love the new mute button. Makes it a lot easier to mute the TV rather than wait for the voume to turn down. Great upgrade!

    I had the previous Apple TV for my system, which was horrible to use. This remote has more physical buttons, is a little bigger, and it feels better in your hand.

    Works great and easy to pair. Just be sure you have a USB-C handy… Apple updated these just like the phone so your old lightening charger won’t work anymore.

    It is an improvement to the previous. It would be nice if in the future you are able to choose channels instead of scrolling through the guide.

    Great remote, works with most apple tv boxes. My apple tv box is about 7 years old so it connected easily.

    Our original one broke and we were happy to see that Best Buy carried replacements. This one happens to be USB-C as well which was a nice surprise.

    For the money better to buy the whole new system. Not only do you get the remote you get an updated box.

    Much better controllability than previous generation of remote. Much more reliable executing what you want it to execute. Additional microphone for voice control works great...
