Alternative remote control for new 4K Xfinity box

The new remote control for the 4K Xfinity box is simply horrible.  The last X1 voice remote was so easy to use, each button responded with normal force, like every other remote I've ever used.  On this new remote, the arrow buttons, which I use A LOT, are very difficult to operate by touch, as they take a lot of pressure to activate.  I've seen this complaint elsewhere, so I know it's not just me.  

Please tell me we have alternatives to this.  I'm extremely dis-satisfied with the current X1 experience.
