Best remotes for Apple TV 2022

This aluminum remote is what ships with all new best Apple TVs. Use the touch trackpad on top of the remote to navigate through menus and control playback. As the name implies, you can also use Siri to pull up exactly what you want, when you want it. Just ask the voice assistant to play your favorite show, navigate to YouTube, play Apple Music, and more.

If you want a remote control that can do absolutely everything and price isn't a concern, the Logitech Harmony is a superb remote. It comes with the hub and the app, and functions with all of your smart devices, meaning you can not only control your Apple TV but your smart lights, thermometers, and more. It's been discontinued on Logitech's website but you can still get it used at Amazon and other select retailers.

The Harmony 665 Advanced Remote Control from Logitech lets you control all your devices, including your Apple TV, from the remote itself or your iPhone, using the companion app. You can combine up to 10 old-fashioned remotes directly into this singular one, making controlling your Apple TV even easier. There's also a helpful little screen for smooth navigation.

Simply by pushing either the A, B, C, or D buttons, you can set up the remote to function for Apple TV (A), Xbox One (B), Windows Media Center (C), and Roku (D). Also, due to the remote's learning capabilities, if a specific device you're looking for is not found you can program it. You can also program the buttons to connect to certain streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon, and more.

Although the GE 33709 is a very basic remote, it can still work with up to four devices at once. Plus, if you have a DVD or Blu-ray player, there's a specific button that can open or close it. Note: this remote also uses conventional AAA batteries, which aren't included.

Gaming on Apple TV is so much more fun with a gaming controller, and the MFi-certified SteelSeries Nimbus + is one of the best options around. Pick up this nifty controller to enjoy an included four free months of Apple Arcade, Apple's gaming service that comes on your Apple TV. It also comes with a cool iPhone mount, a built-in rechargeable battery (50+ hours of gameplay on one charge), tactile buttons, and clickable joysticks.
