You can also use the old silver Apple TV remote with the news ones. They cost $19 and have a home long-press.

This one is also not RF, I think.

I just want a remote that doesn’t suck but also doesn’t need line of sight.

Definitely mixed on the new remote. Love the new size and weight but it feels like it’s going to get scratched to poo poo. The scroll wheel aspect is finicky and takes too long to activate so I can’t see myself ever using it - definitely feels like a wasted opportunity. The clicky buttons for scrubbing through YTTV and other streaming apps is such a big improvement, as expected, but it is hard to feel like that alone is worth $60. Also, annoying as hell that you can’t keep two remotes paired. Thought I was getting an extra.

The only thing stopping me from using the as-good and arguably better One for All $20 remote is the line of sight requirements. Didn’t think I’d be debating because of how much I hated the old remote, but unfortunately this is just such a minor step for a big cost.

Are there any good replacement remotes that don’t need line of sight? Annoyed that I have suffered the random “power button falls off the Siri Remote” and apple wont replace it. I know there are ways of getting around it but I liked the convenience. My ATV is in a cabinet so IR remotes won’t fly.
