    Another solid Apple product

    Another solid improvement from the older, but slimmer remote model. Honestly the prior AppleTV remotes were too small and easily misplaced. This one is solidly built as I would expect and paired easily with my AppleTV. We did add a 3rd party silicone case that gives this remote a little added protection and aids finding it. The rechargeable battery in this remote is long lasting. My only minor knock is that Apple did not provide a charge meter so one knows how much charge is left or needed.

    A Flawless Upgrade Worth Buying on a Deal

    The Apple Siri Remote (3rd Generation) brings a refreshing touch to the Apple TV experience—it's simple, responsive, and genuinely intuitive. Right out of the box, this remote works like a charm, whether you’re happily clicking through menus or gliding smoothly with the touch-sensitive trackpad. The satisfying tactile feedback and refined navigation make everything feel more natural and user-friendly than ever. No matter if you enjoy precise clicks or fluid swipes, this remote impressively delivers with zero lag or frustration, enhancing your viewing experience. One of the standout features that we absolutely appreciate is Siri integration, which makes finding content easier and more fun! Instead of laboring over search queries or flipping through apps one by one, we love simply holding the button and saying, “Show me action movies” or “Skip ahead 10 minutes.” Siri is quick and responsive, adding a delightful layer of convenience that truly makes streaming seamless. Whether you’re hunting for a show, adjusting the volume, or controlling smart home devices, the voice commands work like a dream. While the Siri Remote (3rd Gen) is a fantastic upgrade overall, we understand that its price might seem a bit high—unless you happen to catch it on sale or as an open-box find at Best Buy. If you can score it for a lower price, it’s absolutely worth every penny! It elevates the Apple TV experience into something sleek and frustration-free, making it an essential addition for any Apple TV user wishing to boost their setup.

    Pricey, but worth it

    After getting a remotel like this with my last Apple TV purchase, I've been slowly swapping the old remotes with this version. I find the build quality to be very good. My young(ish) children use the remote often and have yet to break one. The side button for voice control is also very convenient. The best thing about the controller is that it has a "find" function from within the remote control functionality of your iPhone. This saves you from having to buy a separate AirTag/sleeve to put the remote in. Regardless we put the remote in a silicone case to make it more grippy for the kids, as well as making it a little harder to slide in the couch cushions. Yes, it's pricy at roughly half the cost of the Apple TV, but that's really it's only negative. If you've got the cash and you want a remote that will last, buy this for your Apple TV.

    I bought this as a replacement for my worn and half-working Apple TV remote. Set-up was a breeze! I just unboxed it near my Apple TV and set-up was automatic! Beautiful it also arrived almost fully charged.

    Sleek, stylish… but expensive lol. Also every so often you have to do a button hold combo to get the volume buttons to work again but all in all, it’s nice.

    Love the scroll disc and ease of use. Nice weight compared with older models and like the ear of picking it up. Way better than the flat older models.

    Previous Gen Replacement, Wish I Got It Sooner!

    Comparing to the previous generation Apple TV remote, this one is waaay better. Just big enough to be able to use well/much easier and more intuitive. The addition of "clicky" directional buttons is a plus. Much more responsive, and overall a better experience. The remote location feature is also a great addition. Already used it a couple times and saved me lots of time. Highly recommend, or arguably essential if you're an Apple TV user.

    I initially had the remote that came with the touchpad, but I wasn’t a fan of it. So, I decided to get this one, and I was instantly captivated by its design and functionality. The remote feels comfortable in my hands and performs significantly better than the previous one. I highly recommend this remote to anyone looking for a better experience.

    I bought the remote to have a second remote for the same Apple TV Gen2 streaming device. The Apple Rep at the store told me you could pair two remotes to the same unit - WRONG. When you pair a new remote, it de-pairs the original paired remote. I was able to use the remote for my prior generation Apple TV streamer which it works much better than the first generation remote.
