Is the Gen 1 Voice Remote PRO still available

I have been very happy with the Gen 1 Voice Remote Pro.  I recently decided to add a second one to our house.  I saw there was a new Gen 2 that looked nice it that it had USBC and a back lit screen.  Sadly when it arrived, I learned that the single press shortcut buttons "1" and "2" had been replace with a "Guide" and "Quicklaunch".  The quick is a bit of a misnomer in that now its a multi click process to chose an item AND the button "1" is now labeled "Guide" and is hardwired to Roku live TV.  While I like the backlit screen and USBC additions, sadly the removely of true "shortcut" buttons make is much less usable so I will be returning it.  My question is, is Roku still selling the Generation 1 of these remotes?  Hoping the person responsible for butching quicklaunch "improvements" reads the not-so-complimentary feedback in Redit and other fourms?
