It’s my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it’s soooo old. $200? IDK

    I bought one of these in 2016 and it’s still going strong. I’ve since bought 2 more (and the modern remote for the old one), and they’re fantastic.

        The triangular prism shaped one. Take normal batteries instead of coin cells and doesn’t have the annoying slider. And the netflix button can be remapped with a app.

          It would be the perfect remote if it didn’t have that damned Netflix button that I always accidentally press. I bought an app to disable it on the shield pro in my family room, but it won’t work on the newer cylindrical shield in my bedroom for some reason.

            Yeah it seems like with every system update, the remapping reverts. I kinda just gave up on it. At some point I’ll probably crack it open and physically disable the button, but I’m not that motivated yet

              I have the 2017 version and there it works. Its so nice to have, since I have 3 apps bound to that button.
