Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Customers like the ease of use and remote of the product. They mention that it's easy to pair, connect, and use. Some appreciate the lanyard that makes the remote much easier to handle. However, some customers differ on performance, and value.

Customers like the remote. They say it's easy and intuitive like most Apple products. The remote works great, is better than the original, and has a lanyard that makes it much easier to handle. The latest model has gyroscope that allows you to play games. The lan yard helps orient you to the remote better. However, some customers feel the original remote is quicker, easier, and more precise.

this is a great remote control. I yet have one complaint about this remote as this remote is so thin and my hands are huge so it doesn't work well all the time but a case helps passed that it works well and performs as it should . It works well with connected devices that have remote connect or connectivity abilities. there can be some annoyances with the touch surface and how fast your fingers and input move can be cumbersome a bit but again this is over looked as you can set the input speed and surface control to a degree. overall this is a rough 5 star remote but it has a minimum learning curve, and also there are some how to videos on the apple website and the others on YouTube with YouTube trust these at your own risk most are good some are bogus.
It came super quickly which is great because busing the remote app sucks instead sucks! I have a love hate relationship with the design of hit it I found a solution to some of the issues The touch screen on my original remote slammed on my ground when I was changing my bed sheets and totally looked like a smashed iPhone. Yet, it still worked for quite a while after... until it didn’t. So they really are durable despite looking fragile but it’s the tiny flat size that cause them to get lost into the abyss that is my bed covers and blankets. I bought Tiles (the blue tooth locator trackers) in the sticker format and I never have to turn my sheets upside down looking for them (not to mention accidentally send it flying across the room in the process) plus the tiles have a button you can press to also locate your phone. Sticking them to the back helps make it more comfortable to hold! Buy the Tiles with these and never lose this tiny but well made remote again!
My remote fell off the table and the touch part shattered. Didn’t work well after that. Finally couldn’t take it anymore and bought one off Amazon. It made a huge difference.
We love this remote and it works great but we kept flinging it across the room onto the hard tile floor while searching for it in the covers. Needless to say our original cracked and became unusable.
So with our replacement we bought a little inexpensive rubber cover and it makes it easier to find because we picked neon green, and makes it easier to hold and use.
Bought this as a replacement for my Apple TV. Had to shoot my mom how to use it, overall it does the job! A little pricey, didn’t expect it to cost so much but hey it works and that’s all that matters! I’d buy it again if I needed and shipment was great
