I didn’t like it at first, but now it’s my favorite tvbox remote ever. Mainly because it doesn’t take batteries, is flat, works great with my phone, and I can use the touchpad without finding the specific button in the dark. I do pick it up the wrong way a lot, but it’s better than all other devices I’ve tried- fire, roku, tv, wd. Just not having to find doubleA batteries in the past few months has made me accept it.

The built in batteries are indeed nice and I did like that aspect of the remote. > and I can use the touchpad without finding the specific button in the dark. Interesting! This goes to show how the same design feels so different to different users :) I think I could've gotten used to the touchpad if I spent a lot more time with with the apple-tv/remote, but at the time it felt like a big regression. Compared to the roku remote, i'd lose a mute button, a headphone jack for private listening, and ended up with a touch heavy interface that was more frustrating than useful considering me and wife would pick it up the wrong way a lot. At the end of the day I decided to stick with a Roku and have something that doesn't frustrate my wife, instead of trying to get used to the remote just to have the apple tv interface :)
