    Not a great item, just one of convenience. Does the basics, and allows you to run your PS5 controller free. Not the Best Buy at $29.99, wait till it goes on sale.

    Nice remote, but the back panel for batteries is difficult to click in and out of place. Needlessly "innovative," but not a deal-breaker.

    Not sure why I got this. I still end up using my controller. I guess will be nice to have as backup incase both controllers are needing a charge.

    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 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 !

    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.

    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.

    I only have two complaints. I have to keep configuring the volume buttons to work and the remote isn’t backlight. Other than that the remote works great.

    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
