    This remote is great. I had the previous model remote that got lost somehow. Reluctantly I bought this remote and I love it. I really like that it has the click & scroll or click only options and it’s not as sensitive on the scroll like my previous remote Pairing took seconds. The only bad thing that happen was that after pairing, when I tried to turn my tv off, it was turn right back on. But that was an easy fix. If that happens just restart your Apple TV, then turn it off. I should’ve bought this remite sooner instead of using the remote from my phone.

    Just the replacement I needed and wanted. Works great. I like how it has some weight to it compared to my older generation remote (all black) that came with my Apple TV.

    It’s good to see improvements over time. Not perfect but a step in the right direction. Still somewhat buggy.

    I bought this remote as an upgrade to my current Apple TV remote. This remote is far superior and super easy to pair with my old Apple TV box.

    Works good except for the trackpad. There is a trackpad in the center of the large button on the top. I am quite often touching this trackpad when I don't want to. I wish Apple would just have all buttons on the remote.

    Purchased this to replace the older model remote that originally came with my AppleTV. I found the old one very finicky to use. This newer model is substantially better but still a bit too sensitive. Wish that it could incorporate a back button.
