    My old remote dropped on the floor and broke the off and on switch, I thought I wasn't going to be a be able to find one and I went to Best Buy and an agent found one in the back stock room. Then i went home and synced the remote. I can now watch tv

    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!

    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.

    Works seamlessly with my Apple TV. Better than the original remote that Apple had for these which broke easily.

    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!

    This by far is better than the first gen remote. When I got this I definitely enjoyed how durable like the first gen. I still get to enjoy the touch capabilities of the 2 nd gen remote . Definitely will be getting a few more for our other devices

    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

    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.

    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

    Much better, but could be better still...

    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.

    This is a pretty good remote, I’m using it for my 2020-2021 Apple TV and it works perfectly, connected within a second. USB-C is also great. And I LOVE the battery life on it. I’ve used past versions for 1-2 years without charging. Hopefully this is the same or even better.

    Love this Apple TV! Having used many, many Fire sticks in the past, I have to say that I have no plans on going back to them. Apparently you do get what you pay for. Also, I am an iPhone user.
