The original Nvidia Shield TV quickly became my favourite way of watching TV. It was slick, regularly updated, and would often load shows faster than the time it took my consoles to boot up. It was just a better user experience for watching TV, hands down.
But there was one problem. A major problem, actually: I kept losing the damn remote.
The original Shield TV shipped with a thin, lithe black remote. There was a ton to like. There was an IR volume control on the front, super long battery life, and the wireless range was great. But the remote was too damn small. When you’re sitting at bed, on the verge of falling asleep, it’s all too easy to send the remote flying behind the bed, lose it under a pillow, or just not even noticing that you’ve knocked it off to the side.
