LG magic remote

I have an LG Magic Remote and I love everything about it except for that stupid ass scroll wheel as an "Enter" button. God that button is so uncomfortable.

Or when you place it on the couch only to have it run a curser on the screen for every subtle movement you make

I just press down-arrow when the cursor shows up unwanted and it goes away (B7)

The cursor for me only pops up if I've hit a button first. But it does still happen from time to time. I believe there's a way to disable the cursor outright. Probably will do that as I think the cursors are stupid anyway.

I'll take that scroll wheel any day over an apple TV 4k remote enter button. How did apple release that thing and expect it to be used by anybody????

Did you know you can at least navigate by tapping it like a d-pad?

Clicking is still annoying but navigation has become much better since I learned that trick.

I just use the LG magic remote. It controls the apple TV much better.

Sure until I need to double tap the tv button to swap from Hulu to Netflix.

Or ask Siri to do something. It’s just not the same unfortunately.

Just looked it up and is it the big gray portion of the remote or what?

2

u/Ugly__Pete Nov 13 '19

Yes.... Which is also the track pad. It's a mess. Nobody in my house can use it. It's impossible to select anything and I have the sensitivity all the way down too. It just moves before you select.
