Yea same. But I fucking DESPISE the LG remote. Holy shit whoever thought about putting a fucking trackpad as the main navigation element needs to burn in hell.
Yeah, it's not great.
Luckily, we do 99% of our viewing through an Apple TV, and we have a soundbar, so the ATV remote covers basically everything we need.
Doesn’t the Apple TV remote also have a trackpad as it’s main control?
Not the current gen. Well, it can act as a trackpad, but that's not the primary input method. The previous gen, however, did have a trackpad. Again, it could be clicked, but it was generally shittier. The current remote is actually pretty nice.
To be fair, Apple's track pads are substantially better than the rest of the industries. Credit where credit is due.
