Customer Ratings & Reviews

The size may be small, but the features make it big. Lets you control your ps5 while your controller charges, so you can watch a video

Bought this because you can't watch movies or media apps without turning off your PS5 controller without stopping the show/ movie.

Decent for about 2 weeks, then half of the buttons stopped working. I switched batteries to brand new ones, but still only the power and volume buttons work

This isn't reliable and is a piece of junk. I can't believe Sony sells it. It also drained the batteries quickly for no apparent reason.

Doesnt make sense to need abother remote. Also i dont like tbat tou cant control anything else with it. I returned it because it’s unnecessary.

This works okay. The battery runs fast but it’s nice to have a convenient way to watch movies and streaming services

This remote is possibly the worst remote Sony has ever come out with for PlayStation's. My PS3 remote was amazing back in the day, but this remote is just all around bad. If and when it connects to the PS5 it works, but sometimes it takes a long time to connect or doesn't connect at all. I have tried new batteries, and also disconnecting and reconnecting the remote to my PS5. But in my opinion, this is not a good remote. Wait for a good aftermarket remote to come out. even the buttons are really flat and don't light up making it hard to use in the dark.

We use the PS5 for all our streaming and tv, so this is a great remote for out on the coffee table with everyday use.

This remote is awful. Works great initially but once your batteries die and you switch them out for new ones. The remote will not connect to your ps5 and the only thing that will work is the tv controls of the remote. Avoid this! I have bought it twice and feel scammed

Poorly made flimsy material Sony also has very horrible customer service. The remote stopped working 2 weeks into owning it no response from the remote when I press any button. It loses connection to the console it’s been like this for 2 months now Sony won’t answer any questions regarding it they won’t bother to fix the problem same with the dual sense remote they are refusing to acknowledge the problem. Big waste of money the media remote is I highly recommend not to buy it do NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY it breaks down way to quick and there is nothing you can do about it.

The remote isn’t good. From time to time it stops working, and we have to adjust battery. Now, even with adjusting battery, it works for 5 secs, and then no longer works! Hate to see such issues with branded products.

If you have a smart TV, your remote from your Sony or Samsung will most likely be able to control your PlayStation

Love the remote but it malfunctions within a month. I hate that I have to keep replacing it. I have bought three of them and replacing them is getting old.

2nd time that I buy this remote and it works when it feels like it… hard to believe this is a Sony product. :/

Really convenient to have when you want to keep your controllers charged so you can play games.

Good remote and syncs easily to TV or smart monitor. Does what i need it to and no compliants.

It has an IR blaster, but Sony fails to allow universal remote abilities. Unfortunately, I can’t control my sound bar since it is connected with an optical cable. That was the only reason I had for buying it. I suppose I’m still spoiled by other products such as the Apple TV that does it out of the box.

Another step back in a PS media remote. No fast forward or reverse by chapter any longer. TV button would not sync either so it adds zero value for me. A total disappointment. Bottom battery cover is not flush with unit either which gives a little edge at the billing. I would prefer a flush alignment. Battery cover is not easy to get off either. Another generation and another step back in the PS media remote.

Have to disconnect batteries every time in order to connect to console.

I find the functionality of this remote lacking at best. If the PS5 didn't have two different models and was just only able to stream, then this remote would be rated higher. The fact that my PS5 plays UHD discs shows that the minimalist approach to this remote the wrong direction for Sony to go in. If I could find a third-party remote to handle the simple functions that this one does not, I would buy it and throw this one in the trash.
