I kid you not, this is my preferred remote to use when I use my 2008 iMac for YouTube while biking downstairs. :P Volume control without reaching the keyboard is so handy.

Remember how these would snap onto the side of the iMac? Loved that

That came with my 17” G5 iMac (the final model with a PowerPC processor) in 2005, and attached magnetically to the side!
What a fantastic computer that was… I donated to a friend years ago.

I used to wear it as a necklace. 🥹

The hidden magnet on the side of the white iMacs to attach the remote was such a peak 00s Apple design touch that made the products so nice to use.

This was great! My first gen MacBook Pro came with it! I did like that machine even though I missed my 12inch PowerBook

Evidence that our tech illness (addiction?) has been with us for longer than we care to admit. 🤣🤣🤣

I still use it when my Apple TV 4K remote gets lost in the couch
