I love the Apple Remote. It totally redefines what a remote control should look and feel like. It's very small, it's light, it fits nicely in the hand, it works in all directions, and it's very simple to use. You can use it to control Apple MacBooks, Apple iMacs, Apple iPod Universal Docks, and Apple TVs, which is pretty clever when you consider it only has 6 buttons.
But the thing that I like most about the Apple Remote is that, because it only has 6 buttons, you don't need to look at it to use it. Most remote controls have so many buttons, that you keep having to look at them to locate the correct button. For older people that wear reading glasses this can pose a real problem, because they keep having to switch between reading (for remote) and distance (for TV) glasses. But with the Apple Remote this isn't an issue. It's very easy to remember where all the buttons are, and it's so easy to feel them with your thumb that you never need to look at the remote. Excellent.

Just wanted to explain to anyone else who has an Apple Universal Dock + iPod - the menu button won't do anything for you :(
I was hoping to be able to fully control my pod from across the lounge, but I can only play/pause, fwd/back and adjust the volume - you have to start a playlist, slideshow or movie by clicking the pod. This may make me sound super lazy, but i thought the remote would do this and it doesn't.
I understand the menu button would work on an apple mac or on the apple tv box, but I have neither.]
Otherwise, the remote works. Just not as fully as I'd hoped.

I've been using an Apple remote since I got my Macbook Pro, and I'm on the whole impressed.
The range is pretty good, and the strength (or whatever you want to call it) is excellent - you can point it any which way and it'll still recieve the signal. It's lightweight and fits nicely in your hand, too. I like the tactile buttons aswell.
That's not to say that there aren't a few issues. I'm not impressed with the shiny white plastic, for example. It gets scratched very easily, and after a few days use starts feeling greasy. The one thing that I really dislike is the lack of storage on the Macbook Pro its self. On the iMac, Apple included a little magnetic bit where your remote can sit. Surely it would have been sensible to include somewhere for the remote to sit, or even shorten it a tad so it fits into the express card slot. As a consequence, I'm about to order my 2nd remote in the 10 days that I've owned a Mac. But hey, atleast they're cheap :p
If you're buying it for frontrow, the chances are that you'll have already used one... and lost it, in which case it's really up to you. If you think you're going to loose it again, you might be beter off with something like a "Sik Rex" (it's a product, honest) but don't expect the nice design or tactile buttons. If bought a Mac without a remote (I'm assuming from eBay or something), it's worth the £15. Particularly if you've got an iMac or a Mac Mini. If you're buying this for an iPod, don't expect the menu button to work. That just about sums it up.
Me? I'm about to order my 2nd. Despite the lack of storage, I think it's the nicest one around.

This is a universal remote - that is why the menue button.
The reason the menue botton will not work with the iPod is that this is the Apple Universal Remote and is the same one for all products that need one. Read more
