I really like the remote. It has mute and volume and like swiping on the top rather than clicking.

I like that it’s aluminum, doesn’t take batteries, and is bluetooth (or at least doesn’t require line of site). It’s the longest lasting of any remote in my house.

You’re probably thinking of earlier versions that were different.

? it has a mute button and I find it as responsive as my old shield tv.

The new remote has a mute button. Old remote was garbage.
