SideClick Apple TV 4 Remote Dock by 3DExtruded

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is an Apple TV 4 remote dock that has been designed to charge the Apple TV remote while it is in the Side Click remote package. I'm not sure if it will also work with the 4K remote, presumably if the Side Click fits the dock will work too -- but I don't have one so I can't test that.

The Sideclick (https://www.sideclickremotes.com/) is a universal programmable remote with a package that attaches it to the Apple TV remote (as well as other kinds of remotes, but this dock only works with the Apple TV configuration). Allowing you to control your TV power and other functions with remotes paired together and giving you everything you need in one nice package.
There are two versions of the dock. One that incorporates the Apple Logo as an inset and one that is blank.
You may need to tweak the position of the dock connector to get an acceptable height compared tot he standoff for the Side Click side of the remote. I didn't get mine perfect but it doesn't lean in the dock much so I considered it a win after three iterations.
IMPORTANT: The receptacle for the lightning connector is super tight for my cable, to the point of almost damaging the boot of the cable below the connector. This was the desired effect for me as I wanted it to be tight enough to hold the lightning connector in place as I docked and undocked the remote. The cable that I am using is from amazon.com (https://amazon.com/gp/product/B077PR759X) and super cheap. I'm not sure the dock will work with any other cable -- but could probably be easily tweaked for other similar cable types. It is also quite tricky to get the dock connector mounted in the receptacle (I ended up starting the connector into the receptacle by hand then using the remote itself to push the lightning connector into the receptacle).
