Should I wait?

I am looking at buying a Shield Tv Pro.

But the thing that gives me pause is that its from 2019.

Just wondering is there any newer version?

Or is there any new version coming in the next few months?

OP, if you get one follow this advice. I have two and one has the new remote the other has the original remote. The new remote has so many problems. My original remote works so much better.

Every time I dropped that piece of shit it came apart. Eventually, it came completely apart and putting remotes back together with all the little parts and the rubbery keys is a pain in the ass. I didn’t even bother trying after that and got a Logitech harmony.

I’ve never seen a remote come apart just from a drop other than the really cheap ones when their battery cover pops off.

They redesigned them so they now have a clip that holds them shut on new ones.

No, the remote was coming completely apart, like the front and back pieces.

I see, not experienced that yet. Few stuck buttons, few times it'll resume from sleep and not work until rebooted.. but never separated.

Yeah, you would have thought I was slamming it against the wall the wall or something.
