They're pretty solid honestly. I chose a shield over one bc at the time I wanted some apps that required side loading, but now that I have an emby server that's moot. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the touch remote, but they still have a remote app so I can just use my phone instead.
you can still buy and use the classic remotes too! here's the first one i found on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/143752434103
Good to know the current boxes still work with the old remotes, thanks for sharing!
They switched from the touch remotes years ago. I have a 4k ATV and it has a physical directional pad.
Also good to know! The only one I have much exposure to has that remote. I'm glad they came to their senses on the remote! I'll definitely have to grab one when my shield kicks its bucket
