Way too small for anyone to try and keep track of. If I could add up the hours of my life I've spent looking for it in the couch cushions, I could have solved several world problems. I can't wait til the next new technology makes my Apple TV and its devil child spawn remote obsolete. I'm going to destroy this stupid thing...if I can find it. For now I'll just buy a new one to replace the one that's currently AWOL. So annoyed.....

Apple TV Remote

I have four Apple remotes for my apple tv's and three of the four Apple remotes have failed when trying to use the up button on the remote. Three of my Apple T I have four Apple remotes for my apple tv's and three of the four Apple remotes have failed when trying to use the up button on the remote. Three of my Apple TV remotes up button stopped working. I will be taking them back to the store this morning and hopefully Apple will provide me with three new Apple TV remotes. The fact that 3 of my 4 Apple TV remotes up button doesn't work tells me it is an Apple design flaw or the batch of Apple TV remotes I received shouldn't have passed quality control.

The right/forward button has never worked properly since the day we opened the box. Finally after a year of sticky/intermittent functioning of that button we pried the thing apart (another annoying thing about Apple is they make all their products impossible to get into and fix). We discovered some sort of sticky glue over top of a button that wasn't seated correctly that could not be repaired. While I understand that manufacturing glitches happen, that is not my only issue with this remote. Like another user stated -- by removing all the buttons to have the "coolest" looking remote on the market, Apple has given us a remote that is a headache to use. Constant scrolling, tedious, takes too much time. Yes, our regular TV and video remotes and Comcast remotes are hugely clunky by comparison, but they aren't nearly as annoying to use.

The Apple TV interface is not innovative or intuitive either, and the remote just makes the whole experience frustrating.

Useless piece of garbage

Can’t control anything. Fast forward / reverse might as well not exist. Every generation of the remotes or horrible including the newest “Siri” version.

Elegant. Easy to use. Very intuitive. Too small, as some say? Maybe, but with all the remotes we have these days, do you really want another clunker to add to your collection? This thing worked great. Until it didn't. For some reason, one day it decided to get spotty on performance. Battery change, right? Didn't work. Actually, the problem "feels" more like a software glitch than a hardware problem because when it works it works fine. But then it doesn't. Now it's just a pretty little silver stick. Waiting for the ap.
