Function101 Button Remote for Apple TV giveaway

If you are one of those people who’s always losing your Apple TV remote due to its tiny size, or just find it fiddly, the Function101 Button Remote is for you. It works with most TVs and home theater components out of the box.

Plus, Function101 designed the Button Remote for ease of use. The old-school look and feel ensures users can navigate quickly, with all controls shown on the device itself.

The handy remote is not big by any means, but it’s a lot simpler to hold and use than either of Apple’s Siri Remotes. As Cult of Mac’s review said, “Thanks to its familiar design, it’s perhaps the easiest way to use your Apple TV.”

A great Siri Remote alternative

Setup is pretty straightforward, due to the infrared technology inside the Button Remote. It allows the remote to synchronize to your TV in seconds, quickly giving you full control of your viewing experience. The IR tech also means that as long as you are in sight of your TV and within 12 meters, you are good to go.

Yes, it lacks voice recognition. But for some people, this may be a relief. (If you’re like me, Siri doesn’t pick up what you say consistently.) No matter what, you have all the buttons needed right in front of you. And unlike Siri, buttons never fail.
