    I bought multiple of the latest generation remotes to operate older model Apple TV boxes and to replace their original remotes. I could not get mine to work on a 1st generation Apple TV though. LoL that Apple TV box also got replaced. Appears to be very durable after many drops. Remains charged for multiple weeks? Connects well and easily with external speaker and TV systems.

    “The third-generation Siri Remote in silver is elegant, comfortable, and extremely precise. It has a more ergonomic design than previous versions, a fast response time, and an intuitive touch-sensitive scroll wheel for navigating Apple TV. Ideal if you want complete control of your entertainment.”

    Apple finally got it right. It never should have been black and skinny. I lost the old one all the time in the Living Room This one is SILVER and thicker - hard to loose. It also has much more functionality. Easier to quickly Turn On/Off and navigate. 4 stars for value, because it is a little pricey. It is cheaper when you bundle with a new Apple TV box. No brainer!

    I love this remote! The buttons are in different places than the original one that we got with our Apple TV but still very easy to use. Worth every penny!

    The Apple TV remote control was the only product they made that was designed for Martian hands, not for humans. It was hard to use and failed to function more than it worked. This works and does what your non-alien hand tells it to do. A great improvement.

    When I saw the new remote in Best Buy, I KNEW I had to have it! I love everything about it! Easy to use, comfortable larger size AND the color of the device so it is easy to spot on the coffee table. (I was forever always looking where I had mis-placed the small black controller). Do yourself a favor and pick up this remote!

    A huge improvement over the previous generation Apple TV Siri remote. The mute button alone makes it worth price to upgrade! Removing one star because the remote could be a little grippier. It's better than the older remote, but still it's easy to lose your grip on it and the remote has a way of finding its way between couch cushions. 4/5.

    Excellent Remote control for Apple TV. It does require that you familiarize your self with the sensitivity of the selection wheel. Once that is done it is smooth sailing

    Excellent Replacement Remote

    This is an Apple replacement remote, identical to the one you receive with new devices. However, it is well worth the money if you have the older touchpad-only remote. That remote also does not have a mute button - this does. A little pricey for just a remote, if you got a good sale, you could almost buy a new AppleTV

    Bought a knockoff remote for an older Apple TV - it looked similar and was $30 cheaper. Well turns out you get what you pay for. It was a waste of money. Broke down and bought the Apple remote, happy ever since. Works like a charm, easy setup. Had to mess with the TV settings to get it to accept the Apple Remote to control off and on function.

    This is a great remote, and it is so much easier to hold and utilize versus the very thin almost wafer like remote that the Apple TVs used to have. I actually bought these from my current Apple TV just to not use the remote anymore. It’s worth it.
