The original Apple TV Siri Remote that the Apple TV came with is arguably the worst remote in history. Couldn’t figure out which way was up, especially in a dark room, and the track pad sucked. Which led me to be willing to pay the ridiculous price tag (thanks, Apple) for an improved version. And it is a big improvement, much more tactile. The smaller track pad and the circular control are a big improvement. But from an ergonomic standpoint, I don’t know why they put the mute button on the bottom. That is where the play button should have been, since it’s the easiest to access. That said, even though this is overpriced 2x easily, it might be worth your bucks.
