Stick with the old version

I am using this with my NVIDIA Shield TV (Android OS). I have an older version and it has more features than this one. The page up/down buttons are gone, likely replaced with an up/down scroll wheel. The problem is that the scroll wheel only works on a list if you use the touchpad to hover over the list you want to scroll with. If you don't hover over the list, the scroll wheel does nothing and/or doesn't work properly. has clearly separated buttons (see picture - old version on the left, new one on the right), which means that it is now very difficult to tell which button the thumb is on, as well as to locate the middle "enter" key. This is the main disadvantage of this latest version.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Slightly torn
