This remote works well with PS Vue and Netflix. My only complaint would be the click it makes when moving round apps. Otherwise this is perfect for the PS4.

Everything on this remote is simple to setup, although your supposed to be able to program the volume buttons for a separate device, looking online this feature doesn't work for anyone, really wish they would fix it. other than that it is a great remote.

I need a new universal remote for my tv and figured I would buy the one that also works for my PS4. This works perfectly and the set up was easy.

This is definitely better than using the dual shock 4 to control the bluray function. I recommend it if you use your ps4 for something other than gaming.

This controller was great the first time I used it to watch vue on my ps4. But it keeps disconnecting and the connection process is a pain. I would just stick to the ps4 controller at least that one is reliable.

Wasn’t sure we needed this but has turned out to be very helpful to have a more traditional remote for watching movies on PS4.

It’s always handy to have one of these remotes while you are watching tv or a movie and the other gaming remotes are charging.

A Good Remote, Not Great

I got this remote so I don't drain my controller batteries when I am watching a movie or streaming. However, you are always having to push the PS4 button before doing anything. You would think that it would naturally stay connected with the PS4.

Convenient but not as nice as the one for the PS3

The Bluetooth remote for the PS3 was way better than this one is. That said, we are happy with the remote and it is much better than not having one at all. The downside to this remote is that it powers itself off which is NOT HELPFUL when watching a movie. Obviously that's a simple fix - just turn the power button on and get on with your life.
The remote did have a problem with the firmware when we first bought it which we found out online that it is a known issue. We had to return it to the store for another one and now everything is working perfectly.

This is great if you have non-gamer family members, such as my significant other who just need a remote with the standard buttons for playing DVDs.

I replaced this remote after about two years. Overall this has been a perfect solution to my four primary receivers. This paired well with my tv, cable box, PS4, and sound bar. Although the capabilities make connection to the sound bar complicated, the remote allows certain buttons to clone signals from other remotes; using this function for the job done! Only issue is batteries run out quickly when connected to PS4 (actively uses Bluetooth).

Perfect match for PS Vue and PS4 users!!! Still some improvements needed on how to change channels with the remote on vue but worth the $20 bucks

If you are looking for a traditional remote to control your PS4 for movies, this is it! Easier to use than a controller. This was a great buy.

I read reviews before purchasing this remote, and decided to purchase it anywah regardless of the bad reviews. Ive been using this remote and only bad thing i can say is that the volume controls had to be programed for my surroubd sound since the original volume control seems to be only for the tv

Was a good buy. It’s nice not having to constantly recharge my normal PS4 controller from watching videos
