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?

Yes, it's still available:

Roku Voice Remote Pro | Rechargeable Voice Remote | Roku

 

On your Pro 2 remote, you can reprogram the first quick launch key that currently has Guide on it, just highlight it as you press and hold Quick Launch key on the remote. Same for second if it currently has the Roku CH there. Just Search and headphone icon on-screen boxes can't.
