          A lot less buttons; this here is a generic smart TV remote. A lot of streaming boxes have the bare minimum.

          It’d be disingenuous to say all remotes are like that, here’s a newer looking one with many buttons. A major “feature” of most new remotes are dedicated buttons to various streaming services, Netflix, Disney, Prime, etc.

          And here’s a pile of old remotes I found while looking for the first two pictures.

            Yeah the first one makes me think that it’s at most for speakers.

            Weird.

        Lol they actually do make “universal” remotes with oodles of buttons that work with all the standard streaming boxes

        I picked up a used Sony TV (Android TV) and the standard remote is what you’d expect, but it didn’t come with it so I decided to see if there was one with buttons I could buy instead when I was looking for it’s replacement

        Imagine my surprise when there was lmao

        I also saw some for Rokus and firetvs
