However, there is no official word if the key is d-pad or a touch sensitive surface. The next button features company logo followed by a vertically positioned oval shaped button taking the space of two slots featuring Android controls for going back and home.
The remote also gets Google Assistant button which is colourful and prominently standouts, whereas all other keys or buttons are black in colour with white markings.

Another interesting design choice is a volume rocker which is positioned on the right side of the remote.

The remote also features USB Type-C charging, which has been confirmed by the co-Founder on the micro blogging site.
