    Feel solid. Can’t wait to use it for my PS5. Will make watching media a whole world more conveniently. Instead of going to pause a movie only to have to turn the PS controller back on.

    This thing is awesome if you watch blue ray/ 4k on your PS5. Also great if you use streaming apps on it. I use mine for late night movies/TV series with an easy way to turn everything off from in bed.

    I have owned the remote controls for the PS3, PS4 and now the PS5. By far the poorest controller is the PS5 controller. Want to turn on subtitles go through the menu want to go forward a chapter or back a chapter, forget it, not going to happen, unless of course you go through the disc menu. Previous remotes from Sony for gaming systems having solid entries with all the controls you could want, and honestly more. This remote was designed to look like it belonged as part of a set to the PS5. But want this remote was not designed to do was provide any function for bluray playing aside from the very, very basic ones.

    I like the remote. The media buttons are more useful than those on my Roku remote. It feels really light and cheap but makes using the ps5 as a media player a breeze.

    Love it, gives great peace of mind knowing I don't have to drain my Ps5 controllers and worry about them being dead the next day if I fall asleep with Netflix running.

    Good remote when you are trying to watch some shows on the go on your PS5. Due to the system being fast you can click on an app and switch to another on in a blink of an eye !

    Would absolutely love this remote if it didn't stop working all the time. There are some real design flaws with this controller. Also, the ps5 controller is just better as it actually has more options for media.

    Nice accessory for the PS5. Helps make the PS5 a complete streaming platform. Remote is sturdy and doesn’t have too much on it where it becomes complicated. Would recommend.

    The remote works as intended, however it would be nice if there was a headphone jack. The ps5 does not support most Bluetooth headphones and headsets, so adding a jack would be an upgrade

    I've never been one to own a Media remote for a console, this thing is worth every penny. Especially with the quick buttons.
