I’ve had one of these remotes almost since they came out:

The newer Apple Remote has directional buttons, and you can then turn off the touch pad.
You could try the Salt remote. From what I remember they got permission from Apple and it’s officially supported.
replyYeah, I hate the remote, which is why I never use Apple TV even though I both own one and have the Apple TV service.
replyMaybe I'll try the remote the other user here mentioned.
The latest remote at least has directional buttons, and I think you can disable the touch part entirely. Might be worth looking into, I think you can buy it separately and it works with most if not all Apple TV's.
replyThe only issue with Apple TV is they still can't figure out a good remote. I feel like I need to hold my breath and be very intentional with my swipes so when I'm e.g. swiping up/down to get to a menu where I can turn on subtitles I don't accidentally swipe left or right, sending me scrubbing 17 minutes forward.
replyDidn't Apple replace that remote with a proper clicky remote like five years ago?
Sort of. It's an improvement but it still have major issues. The biggest being the goddamn search button on the side that you hit 50% of the time you pick up or set down the remote, that can't be disabled, and that yanks you straight out of whatever you're viewing.
