SideClick Apple TV 4 Remote Dock

thingiverse

This is an Apple TV 4 remote dock designed specifically for charging the Apple TV remote while it's inside the Side Click remote package. I'm not certain if this dock will also work with the 4K remote, but since the Side Click fits into the dock, it should presumably function as well - though I don't have a 4K remote to test that. If you own a Roku 3, be sure to check out my Roku 3 Sideclick Remote Holder: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2829899 The Side Click is a universal programmable remote with a package designed to attach it to the Apple TV remote (and other remotes), giving you control over your TV's power and functions in one convenient package. There are two versions of this dock available - one that features an inset Apple Logo and another that is blank. You may need to adjust the position of the dock connector to achieve a suitable height compared to the standoff for the Side Click side of the remote. I wasn't able to get mine perfectly aligned, but it doesn't lean in the dock much, so I consider this a success after three iterations. It's worth noting that the receptacle for the lightning connector is quite tight on my cable, almost causing damage to the boot below the connector. This was exactly what I wanted, as I needed the connector to be securely held in place when docking and undocking the remote. The cable I'm using is from Amazon (https://amazon.com/gp/product/B077PR759X) and is very affordable. However, I'm not sure if this dock will work with any other cables - but it could likely be easily modified for similar types of cables. It's also quite challenging to get the dock connector mounted into the receptacle; I ended up starting the connector by hand before using the remote itself to push the lightning connector into place.
