Any way to disable annoying side search button on Apple TV remote?

Please help me to disable that side button as I keep accidentally pressing it and it is the most annoying thing.

There is currently no setting to disable the side button.

The location is designed to be the untouched location in most regular hand grips, either left handed or right handed. It seems you hold the remote in an unintended and unforeseen manner.



You can leave comments for Apple for consideration of new settings in future versions of the tvOS system software. Feedback - Apple TV - Apple
