I don't have one personally but every time I use one at a friend house it just feels crap in a way that I've never felt with an apple product before.

It's obviously well made but it just feels pretentious compared to a phone or remote than you can actually type with.

Wouldn't that be a reasonably large remote?

It doesn't even need letter/number buttons, just some proper tactile feedback rather than this smooth hello-my-owner-has-more-money-than-sense rotating action thing i.e. the scroll wheel on an iPod classic from the mid 2000s was miles better.
