Due to the lack of voice control, I'm going to assume it's actually a traditional IR remote, and this isn't really a huge deal since anyone could take any aftermarket IR remote with a better layout and "teach" its commands into the ATV.
It's a nice remote design, and would be quite useful for a lot of devices if it just had a couple more buttons.

yeah, the AppleTV swipe remote sucks ass, I can't tell you how many times as I'm swiping right, left, up or down it decides to respond as if I pressed enter.

You can do this with any universal remote.
Just added 3 appletvs to an old system that has URC MX900s. Taught the Appletvs to respond to Samsung Bluray commands. If you do the "advanced controls" it will allow all the commands shown on that remote.
As a stand alone remote that thing is pretty cool though.

Amazon's FireTV remote (voice + IR) isn't half bad for a tiny system control either.
Just set up a spare bedroom with an old LG TV, an awesome sounding old JVC "wood cone" microsystem, and a FireTV 4K as the only source, and the included remote actually operates everything (even the microsystem) perfectly with discrete codes.
Granted, if you need access to anything additional it's useless, but for guests just wanting to watch Netflix, Prime, AppleTV, or Disney+ with decent sound, it's perfect.

I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other. |
