Both are model numbers for the Siri Remote. The former one was originally shipped with the 4th generation, the latter with the 5th generation (4K), and the 4th generation from that point on. On the outside, the most obvious difference is the white ring around the Menu button on the A1962, making that button easier to find in low light conditions. I’m sure there are more little differences on the inside, but they are similar in use, and there is no documented incompatibility.
