Our take on the Apple TV Remote for Apple TV 3rd Generation and 2nd Generation

This is Apple's original aluminum Apple Remote, the small silver-and-black clicker built for the Apple TV 2nd and 3rd generation. It has a circular click wheel with a center select button, plus Menu, Play/Pause and a rocker for volume and navigation. It also works with older Macs, iPods and iPhones that support IR remotes. It is a simple, sturdy replacement for a lost or worn remote, but it lacks the touch surface, Siri button and Bluetooth pairing of the newer Siri Remote, so it will not control the Apple TV 4K or HD models.
