Hello,

i ask myself how the touch feature is integrated in the new remote. Will we be able to get the same parallax effect on app icons by moving the thumb slightly over the touch surface of the new "touch ring"? Will we be able to navigate through the start screen the same way we do with the current remote?

What do you think?

By the looks of the demo video, it seems it’ll have the same navigation via the touch track pad as before in addition to the new click edges. I liked the old remote so I hope they keep that navigation feature.

Yes, I believe the center button is touch sensitive so that you can swipe like the touch pad on the current remote.
