Edit: I have the new Apple TV 4k and new remote.
I changed the sensitivity of the tracking to the lowest but that’s only for the speed of tracking, not the activation sensitivity of the touch pad. They really need a setting to change the activation sensitivity because it is TOO DAMN SENSITIVE.
If I’m watching YouTube TV, any time I press one of the arrow keys, I’m suddenly rewinding 30 seconds on the scrubber. I don’t get why the touch activation is even on the left and right arrow keys. If you look at it, there’s clearly a distinct circle indicating where the touch pad is. They should limit the touch area to just that inner circle.

Yeah I turned off at first then turned back on because I felt like I was wasting a feature and then got used to it.
On another random remote thing. Is anyone’s right direction double jumping every few clicks? Mines just started the other week. I’m sure it has something to do with sticky kids and getting crap on it.
The only reason I have it on still is because I don’t see any other way to scrub forward or backward on content without it. Am I missing something?
It’s OK to disable it. Many opt for click only, including myself.
Honestly, you do get used to it.
I turned it off. easier with the click.
Apple made the worst remote. All generations. I like the media remote I use with my ps5 way more
This is just wrong. The newest ATV remote is just fine
I think this is a YTTV problem. I’ve experienced similar recently on that app but not on any other app.
I disabled it within the first 24 hours of using it, tried it a couple of times since and just can’t get on with it. I do wonder if I’m missing out on something, like a once I get it, I will not go back type of thing.
The real annoyance on this remote is the side search button. Keep pressing that by just taking the remote and it’s annoying as f*. Worst it can’t be disabled.
