    It isn’t easy to use. I like Roku better. There are quirks to the remote. I don’t like the floating movement over the buttons.

    Better than previous generation, but still has some touchy operating issues. Wish it would turn the TV on. Only does off.

    I bought this new Apple TV remote to replace the original one that died after a few years. This new one works, but not that good. I had to turn off the trackpad for your thumb because it made the cursor jump badly from apps to other movements. The quality has gone down at Apple.

    It's is a failed Apple product. After a month's use it is on the fritz and will not respond correctly to command clicks. An unnecessarily over priced remote that was grudgingly produced to replace its previously failed remote models. (Generation 1 & 2).

    This has been the best! Love the on/off button which affects all pieces and components connected to the television. Still getting used to side button for voice activation, but worth the cost.

    Apple Remote Life Short Lived (only 9 months)

    I bought this remote in Oct’23 and it stopped working today. So sad it didn’t even last a year! It worked well when it worked but the expectation was to work a couple of years at the very least. Not much is built to last long anymore and stores like BB no longer go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction.

    Makes a good upgrade to your Apple 4K (1st generation). Much better than the original remote.

    I bought this thinking it would help navigate apple tv on my LG TV. First, I couldn't get it to charge, that I could tell, more make any connection the the tv. I got two UBS_C connectors, and tried over three nights to get it to charge. No luck. Of course no way to tell it was charging or not. Returned it.

    It didn’t work no matter how many times we followed directions. Geek squad failed to show up twice rescheduled for today. Hopefully they will show. To add matters worse when I called to speak with a supervisor I was put on hold for 40 minutes so I just hung up. This is so unprofessional and unacceptable customer service.

    Its a hit or miss with this one

    the touchpad is a hit or miss. Sometimes it works flawlessly and sometimes it stutters or cuts of tracking. Otherwise, it's a solid remote. Replaced my previous GEN 1 apple tv control. The price tag is a little steep, but then again, it's an Apple product
