This remote is a good addition to your playstation if you plan on using media apps. Since it uses batteries it doesnt need charging so you can safe your controllers when you want to game and use this when you want to watch youtube or netflix. While the $30 price is kinda high for just a remote if it goes on sale definitely pick it up. Plus the functionality of the remote is much better than an amazon fire stick remote.

The media remote for the ps5 is a great buy. The battery for the controllers doesn’t last very long so this helps out quite a bit. Super east to pair with the ps5. Works well so far would definitely suggest getting this

I got this because I was annoyed by having to use the gaming controller to use the apps. This remote is very comfortable, intuitive, and attractive. If you’re looking to stream media on your PS5, this is the way to go.

My 12 year old did the setup for the remote, which was very easy. I love it. It acts as a TV remote, and also provides easy access to Disney Plus, and Netflix, all through the PS5 which we were fortunate to get this Christmas.

Simply the best remote I've owned. Controls the system and TV seamlessly. I would say this is an essential PS5 accessory to own. It's pretty sleek and fast! Programmed with the best TV apps for quick access.

Love using this over the controller. Easy to pair and use various streaming apps. Lost pairing once, but the remote needed new batteries.

Never realized how much I needed this in my life. I don’t have cable so using this with all the streaming services is fantastic, plus it works with the actual tv and sound bar which is a huge plus.

Love having the dedicated media remote over using a controller. Rest of the family that doesn’t game likes it as well, it’s very convenient for all. Affordable, looks nice, nothing to complain about.

I'm really happy that I picked this up. At first, I thought it was a useless purchase. But now that I have it I can't believe it took Sony this long to make this! It completely replaces the need to pick up your PS5 controller if you're just going to watch media. It's light, nicely-designed, and highly functional. My only concern is that sometimes it's not that responsive on certain angles - it has to be faced pretty much straight on with the PS5. I've tried pressing buttons while slouched over on the couch and the remote is pointing downwards and there's no responsiveness. Also, the directional buttons are kind of too spaced out. I think it'll take time to massage my muscle memory but it's kind of annoying when you're used to pressing the directional buttons on a PS5 controller. All in all though, dope purchase. Highly recommended.

Remote works extremely well. It is very smooth and automatically connected to my tv as well. Batter life is not as good as I would hope, but a great device.

New Console, might as well get all of the accessories right...? This is a nice remote and functions as expected however, it is not backlit so very difficult to use in a dark room. Not necessary, but it's a PS5 remote, you know you want it!
