Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased this remote to use Playstaion console to stream Playstation Vue as a replacement to the gaming controller. It was easy to setup and sync with TV controls. Range isn't the best, but much better than using the gaming controller.

Works well, but took awhile to figure it out. Someone who is totally familiar with the playstation will have no trouble! Our son helped! Glad we switched all our Netflix, etc to the playstation as it works a lot better and having one remote is nice.

We use our PS 4 for watching movies as well as playing games. Using a controller at times was a bit challenging for me since each app (Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc.) seemed to have different buttons for different actions. The reviews for the older PS 4 remotes were not very good, so I waited until a better one came out, and I'm so glad I did. It much easier now to fast forward, reverse, pause, and play movies now, no matter the app or if you are watching a DVD. I highly recommend it!

This remote does what it advertises. It works well with the PS4. The only flaw/issue is that it turns off after sitting for a couple of minutes. A bit weird if you are watching a movie. Other than that, you will be pleased.

Upon initial setup of the remote with my devices, I ran into several problems particularly with the TV and PlayStation. They refused to acknowledge the universal remote. Now it may be that my TV is rather dated (pre-2012) or that I was pushing the limits of how many devices I could hook up to this thing, but after 2 hours of troubleshooting I was able to get the remote to connect to all of my devices. Works like a charm. The only thing that frustrates me is when I have to pause the TV. The remote tends to enter "sleep mode" to conserve battery, but it takes at least one minute to cut back on. Fix that and we'll have a winner.

Overall this is a good setup. The only issue is it doesn't seem to respond on the first attempt

Does the job with DirecTV and simplifies life if you're an avid TV/Netflix/PS4 video viewer. One big problem is the lack of back light on the controller. Nearly impossible to maneuver at night or when watching TV with the lights off. But still the best option on the market.

Purchased this as I didn't want to use my controller when using Playstation Vue. Seems to work fine except for needing to reconnect it all the time to bluetooth when it hasn't been used for about an hour. Also some buttons not on remote, but don't need them very often

This remote is exactly what we needed to make movie watching more enjoyable. Very versatile and compatible. Overall, I love it and it will make watching netflix, amazon, or adjusting TV volume much easier now that I won't have to switch in between a TV remote and a controller.

The remotes pretty good but some buttons don't work on hulu which can get annoying.. also difficult to set up to tv as a universal remote if u don't have the code needed.. aside from that it's better then using your controller to watch netflix since the controller dies

Had one of these for my PS3. Make it much easier to use when I'm using the streaming functions on my PS4, especially since I have to share with my dad. Also allows me to save the battery on the controllers for the games.

It's not as good as the universal remote Sony made for the PS3, but it does the job. It doesn't feel as solid as the previous remote and it's missing a few buttons the other one had, but it is still better than using the controller all the time for non-gaming activities.

Since I’ve had this remote I’ve rearranged my home theater setup a couple times, and each time re-syncing the remote to a new set of devices was so easy. I used to manual code entry and the search options and both have worked well. The manual code entry is significantly easier and more efficient in my opinion, but all in all, this is a great universal remote for your ps4 home theater. No complaints this far.

Ok so it was meh at first but not because of the functionality but I just didn’t use it as much as I’d thought....then SOMETHING changed and we were all home more than before we had ever been and watching so many streaming services and switching from that to playing the occasional game in between is where this gem came thru like a shining beacon of hope to a frustrated papa bear! Worth every penny for sure!

I haven't had many occasions to use this remote yet and the couple of times I have used it the responsiveness has been iffy but it seems to work well enough. We just switched from cable TV to Playstation Vue and the remote is much easier to use than the controller.

When using the PS4 as media player this remote is necessary for comfortable TV/Movie watching. Unfortunately, the remote quickly times out from inactivity. Almost every time you want to play or pause the video the remote has to reconnect which is kind of annoying.

Bought it to use with Onkyo Receiver, Sony projector and a PS4. Works with PS4 and the receiver. Still haven't been able to connect to the projector. Auto pairing feature is cool but takes a while. For the price, I definitely recommend if you own a PS4.

This PS4 remote works like a charm- just like the previous remote I had for my PS3. The only issue I had with this was it didn’t pair with the PS4 as easily as the instructions said; it took several attempts before it finally paired.

Was using another remote that required a USB dongle and did not work well in apps.. this works Bluetooth and is wonderful. Will wake up PS4, works with PLEX and Netflix including Play/pause/rewind/ff buttons.

Once I upgraded to PS4 from my reliable PS3, I started my search for a Remote for the PS4. I rather use a remote over the controller to maneuver around the home page. Once I noticed there was one available, I went to the store and purchased the remote. The remote was easy to setup and has made my PS4 experience so much easier. I recommend this remote to others who have issues with the controller when it comes to watching movies or using the different functions on the PS4.
